I played hookey today and watched the Dunlop Tire test today.   There were only four riders, Mladdin, DuHummel, Bostrom and Yates.  Mladdin could turn consistant 149.50- 150.00 on good tires.  The Honda's were in the 152's all day.   Yates must have crashed early before I got there, he only ran a few laps in the afternoon on a bike with brand new unpainted body work.
 
 
Mladdin seemed to fall off after 4 laps and back into the 1:50's so who knows how long they would last.  The test runs the next two days and when they find a tire they like they will put a lot a laps on it to see how it holds up.

     Just out of curiousity, do they charge for you to spectate that? I would think that would be a private track rental situation?

I had read that the gates were open and free to the public...yes, I'd play hooky too, if I wasn't at the other end of the country.  

I'm glad someone got to go watch...it sounds like fun!!!

Yes, you can walk through Daytona USA and into the old stands for free.  I had some binoculars so i could see into the pits.  Depends if I have time but I might make it back tommarow.  

One site says this morning that Yates didnt crash but had a brand new bike and they didnt have time to paint the body work.  You knows.
