So far I have gotten my rears off e-bay (supermoto take-offs). My dad bought me two fronts Sport Tire Services for my birthday, but I never asked him what he paid for them.

California Race Services Will Be At Willow Springs Next Weekend

From a press release issued by California Race Services owner Jerry Jirkovsky:

California Race Services will be at Willow Springs for Round 12 of the WSMC race series on December 17-19. Unlike Pirelli I will honor my obligation to my sponsored riders and customers till the end of the year.

Bridgestone will continue to be represented by California Race Services with their full line of tires--slicks, DOTs and rains.

At this time I would like to thank California Race Services sponsored Jack Pfeifer for his historic fourth-place finish at the Daytona 200, making him the highest-finishing Pirelli rider ever!

I would also like to thank Josh Herrin for his USGPRU 125cc GP National Championship on Bridgestone Slicks supplied by California Race Services.

New contact info: e-mail jirkovs@aol.com or cell (714) 642-2252"

I want to do one season with WSMC then I will do WERA. But then again this is all if I don't get hired with SDFD.

Avons aren't something you'd want on a modern bike, but for vintage bikes, they seem to make the best odd-ball sized tires.
