@dibble - Not sure what you menat by "BB tyres are also more expensive for members on a budget", the RRP of BB's (rears) is the same as Schumacher at £7.99 and slightly better pricing for our delaers on BB as opposed to others there is more likely to be good deals on BB's than any other brands.

As for raffle, we dont disclose the vaues etc, we want people to race at the clubs we sponsor because they want to and not just to try and win somthing in a raffle, but it is fact that the more racers who enter a series the larger our prize fund gets, you will just have to be there throughout the series and at the last round to see just how big it grows to

Also to be clear, the sponsorship is through our "X-factory UK" side of the business, our distribution side, not a DMS promo at all in any way (to benefit the shop directly), but instead it is one to promote XF UK and the brands we represent here in the UK. I stress this so as it is as fair as possible to all of our great dealers up and down the UK who all support and stock our products so well and will all be on hand to supply the required BB tyres too (and not just DMS) to the TORCH racers.

@Tony - the old boy talks sense, BB will be the "best" all round tyre and econimal in terms of wear too, who knows people may like Whites so much in the dry, you may all start to prefer them to Yellow, even in the summer/dry months (if they ever happen)

@Mark (Dragon Rider) like Steve, not took it as you were having a dig, alwasy assumed you were just seeking opinions and advice etc

@Mr Magoo, glad you like the Whites, thanks fort he kind words for DMS, we are proud to be associated with the club on this.

@Dan DHB, glad you lke the Whites and the longer wear rate too and as you say "what if it was a Schuey tyre?" sorted for the dry, then less so for the wet and slippery times, which is highly likely in a UK winter series....
