AMA Pro Racing is considering a proposal to make Continental the spec tire of the Grand National Championship (GNC) dirt track series.

The proposed 3-year deal would involved minimum payments to AMA Pro Racing of $40,000 per year plus a kickback of $3 per tire sold to racers, who would be charged about $230 per set of tires.

Under terms of the proposed agreement, only Continental tires could be used in AMA GNC dirt track races.

The proposal has been made by Greg Tysor, a dirt track racer and Continental executive, and is under consideration by AMA Pro Racing.
