This was Howard’s first race weekend on the D209GP Dunlop’s after switching brands at the beginning of the year, and the first time riding in a clockwise direction on the MSR track. “The tires were awesome with drivability better than any tire I have been on. I had no wheel spin at all, none, on my 07′ GSXR750, and the front tire we ran had over 25 laps on it and I was still able to run at lap record pace” stated Howard. “I came away with tons of confidence and a great feeling for the rest of the year.” North Texas Superbikes offers the full line of Dunlop NTEC tires which will be available at all rounds of CCS South and the CMRA racing series.
