Proooofffff!!
"We got a tip from Chris Parrish, a racer in the South who is leading the points in the competitive WERA Southeast, that he’s been having good luck running the same Bridgestone slicks on his R3 that he runs on his SV650. We have exhausted most of the other tire options on the market looking for a good tire that pays contingency, so we’re hoping that the Bridgestone slicks work out. The Pirelli Supercorsa has been the best option we have found previously but Pirelli doesn’t offer contingency so we’re still looking. The Bridgestone slicks are a larger 165 rear and 120 front, so there was some concern as to whether we could maintain a hot enough carcass temp to improve traction and justify the heavier tire weight. Zeke threw on a set for Friday practice went out for first session. I wasn’t there, but Sergio was texting me updates… First session, Zeke took it a little easy to see how they tires felt and see if he felt confident. He said the tires felt good. Next session out he started pushing them a little harder, trying to see where the limit was, testing the grip. He did a 2:03, then a 2:02. Still totally comfortable on the bike, and just feeling out the tires. Already at a podium pace, and closing in fast on his best time of 2:01.0. The tires felt planted. We had a winner."
