Whoops!  :o
Back on track, wouldn't it be good if these new manufacturers redeveloped the old Pirelli MT53 (or whatever it was).

gee,& i thought this was vintage track forum,silly me ::), :P
The tyres for Ross are for a CCM engined Trackmaster, funny but I thought that was Vintage.
The events that I am planning will have Vintage "Old School" Singles and Twins classes.
Obviously Moderns as well.
Hopefully a few Harleys !!!!!!
Modern Vintage.

Not as much as I want to,
2 years ago I registered Flattrack Nats as a business
Then along came Yamaha
Hopefully a meeting at Barleigh Ranch on Sunday will finalize our plans.

At Wyalong on the wend, young Davies was using the Mitas front with 17'' wet on rear. Track was slickish, he won, the trials tyre did not hook-up.

Good I sold his Dad those tyres months ago,
The Mitas rears need to be grooved to get off the line,
The CD 3 compound tyres should be better
The shortage of 19"s in the US has slowed things up but by November/Bathurst Longtrack there should be plenty around,
Certainly by the Troy Bayliss Classic I expect they will be accepted by most
Not proven yet but my opinion is the CD3 tyres will work as good as wets at Taree and Gunnedah
