I haven't competed at the Dirt Track Nats in years but if all systems go will be this year (as an entrant this time). I'm a self funded retiree on a limited budget and have two brand new still in the wrapper Mitas trials tyres and an almost new Michelin ready to go and might still go with my 20 year old Carlilse and Pirelli MT63 combo on the 250. However I have no problem with competitors purchasing ready made Maxxis or Dunlop flat track tyres if that's what they want to use. I don't think its fair to introduce tyre restrictions into an event that's never resorted to restrictions in the past. There's more to winning than just fitting a certain tyre, even those trick Maxxis and Continental road race wet weather tyres need some attention before they work properly...........Run what ya brung I say.
