Beaubier and Pascarella selected for CT Racing tire testing campaign San Francisco, CA – In a partnership with sponsor JonBlockPHD.com, CT Racing has taken advantage of the break in AMA action to recruit Cameron Beaubier and Joey Pascarella for their latest Pirelli tire tests. The campaign will include two rounds of testing focusing on the Pirelli 180/60 Diablo Supercorsa SC0, SC1 & SC2 compounds. Round 1 was completed this past weekend at Thunderhill Raceway in Northern California with the 2nd and final round scheduled for August 13th and 14th at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. Beaubier, riding a stock YZF-R6, said, “The Diablo Supercorsa World Supersport spec tire was solid the entire weekend, and the SC2 soft carcass provided tremendous exit grip at each corner. I’ve utilized Pirellis in various club races throughout the past couple of years and they worked well. The newest technology is clearly a step in the right direction. I was pleased to see the 180/60 last both days in nearly 100 degree temperatures. I’m looking forward to the Miller test later this month and want to thank all my sponsors for their support with this opportunity.” Joey Pascarella was pleased with his results as well. “First and foremost, I want to extend my appreciation to all my sponsors for their assistance with making this happen. Pirelli tires have performed flawlessly for me throughout my racing career and this weekend is no exception. I experimented with the different compounds; all of them inspired confidence throughout each session. In an effort to uncover some form of constructive feedback for this report, I decided to push the limits on the new 180/60s in the afternoon with temperatures hovering near 96 F. Nothing changed; the tires are really that good.” Corey Neuer, CT Racing: “We are extremely fortunate to capture available time from Cameron and Joey. Both riders bring a unique skill-set to this campaign and are known for voicing incisive opinions about tire performance. Our first series of tests were deployed this past weekend at Thunderhill with ambient temperatures averaging in the mid-high 90s. In an effort to even out the playing field and capture feedback from local club racers, we recruited the efforts of young guns, Wyatt Farris and Cameron Gish. We were pleased to hear each tire exceeded their expectations as well. Miller has a new set of challenges for us, but we’re confident we can sustain the favorable report throughout that 2-day event.” Kurt Burgess, JonBlockPHD.com: “After observing Cameron secure a 2nd place at Laguna Seca and Joey taking pole position (and a new track record) at Mugello recently, it was an easy decision for our firm to extend support for the CT Racing Pirelli tire test.” About the new Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SC0, SC1 & SC2: CT Racing and Pirelli have been slowly releasing the new tire compounds to regional racers.
