Howard blazes on Dunlop D209GP NTEC
tires.
North Texas Superbikes, Dunlop supported Ty Howard
became the official track record holder at this weekend’s inaugural CCS South
racing event held at MSR Houston located near
Sugarland
TX.
The previous “unofficial” track record was shattered by over 2.5 seconds
during the weekend’s premiere event the Unlimited GP Shootout. Howard grabbed the hole shot and never looked back winning by over 30 seconds,
with CCS timing and scoring confirming the new record to be a 1:35.981.
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. North Texas Superbikes supports all racing and
track day riding in Texas,
Oklahoma, and
Louisiana and may be contacted at
