ContiSport Contacts are pretty good.

Or Michelin Pilot Sports.

Goodyear EAGLE F1 are the daddymack.

Anything ZR rated should do the trick - as we'll be tonning it for a whole week in them...

You can but them online form a few places, have them delivered to a local fitting centre - can save you some pennies......

Mick,

All sponsorship goes directly to the charity, either by contributions online, or via sealed collection boxes.

All expenses pertaining to the event are covered by Dave and I!

Hope that clears things up!

  • Tape... electric and all the other types you might need.
  • Halon fire extinguisher.
  • Belts, god forbid one broke and you don't have a spare, they are cheap. Stop looking down at your pants.
  • Tyre pump, you can borrow my M mobility kit if you don't have one.
  • Tyre pressure gauge, I have one as well if you need it.
  • Umbrella. Don't laugh, last year at the ring I was the only one who brought one and suddenly I was everyones best friend.

That all I can think of at the moment... I need sleep.

Cheers for the help.

the Battery Pack I got has a compreser in it & a pressure gauge.

The Umbrella is a good idea - I'll add that to the list.

So tape and belts I need

The pressure guage on a compressors are worthless. Even a cheap €15 one from Halfords will be much better. My M-Mobility kit was out by 0.2 bar or 3psi.
