Assuming this is subject to the minimum 8 starting riders on the grid... but I doubt that would be a problem

No more Dunlop Class. Our three year agreement ended at the end of 2012. Letters to all the tire companies inviting offers for a class for the next three years. The criteria was ALL investment was to be towards riders. The best offer would be awarded a three year deal with SOAR.
Dave Bissonette @ RIPP Racing and Bridgestone stepped up and the class was created. I just wanted the announcement out before the upcoming bike show.
