I had 4 racers come over and try out Continental this past Weekend at HPT. It was nice to see that everyone them placed high this Weekend and one of them had the best race of their life. We had 6 wins this Weekend at HPT. I also had another First time racer on Continental for the first time take a win too. Now if I would get Farrel on them he would have broke the track record this Weekend. hehe Great ride Jason and Thank you to the rest of the racers that asked or used the Continentals over the Weekend. Looking forward to seeing everyone one at BHF for the next round. Rodney LeQuia
Thanks for the skins, Rodney. I really enjoyed running them. Took a first and a second on them. Great grip & great price.....and the contingency is unreal. See you @ GIR!

Way to go Chirs and I am so glad that everyone that used the Continental over the Weekend did great on them. Looking forward to you seeing you guys down at GIR weekend and I hoping to make it down for the trackday in May.
I tried a set of Continentals on my SV the weekend of HPT! Worked great, loved them! I won 3 different races and two 4th places!
Paid for the tyres plus some! Definitely staying with Conti!
Thanks guys
good to see you guys getting good results from them, although i am a michelin man. I think they would have alot more riders on them if the contingency was closer to the other brands.
I was extremely happy with Rodney and his crew's helpfulness. He set a record for going 'the extra mile'. I was quite satisfied with the feel and the grip of the tires. Given that Continental doesn't require a field minimum and pays all classes their payout is very good. $400 for first doesn't do you any good if your class isn't covered or you have only three entrants. Vendors can 'promise' big payouts if they know no one will hardly ever qualify!
Rhun, I agree completely. Conti's contingency is awesome, especially for the odd-ball classes and hit or miss grids.

One of the reasons I went with conti! Lightweight classes are a bit slim.
It was a pleasure working with all of you and looking forward to many more events to come. I agree the payout is a little low but like the others have pointed out they pay where other won't. Plus the cost of the tires saves you right off of the get go. I could charge the higher prices and at the end of the day give you a refund and call it a pay if that would make anyone fell better. Just kidding, I enjoy being able to offer a GREAT tire at an awesome price for everyone to enjoy. Thanks again guys and looking forward to working with everyone at the track. Rodney LeQuia

Hey, I just figured out who you are! What's up, man? Why aren't you running Supertwins this year????
I have some Meduims on order.
My bike is too underpowered to be competive in ST I ran some last year when Buell was paying, but got killed on the straights. I am not admitting to being killed on the over all talent issue! :)
any news on whether there will be continentals for sale at the hpt track day on the 10th?
