Yes I will be offering Dunlop support this season.

I am sad though that Dunlop cannot offer the same contingency program that Pirelli, bridgestone and mich. have this season as it's a very very nice payback for racers. I did try to ask for more contingency for us but it's just not in the cards this season as Dunlop has a pretty big commitment to the AMA in supplying the new spec tires. I'd like to do what I can but on my side but it will be very little and I just can't run the Dunlop program at a loss like it has been in the past, breaking even is the goal for this season and that's a tall order.

The other tire vendors will agree that there's very little profits selling tires and it's only being done for the love of being at the track.

Btw I will have the AMA spec tires available this season and they are very competitavely priced. The feedback I have from Dunlop is that the spec tire grips every bit as good as last years Ntec tires!

Thanks

Ben
