Above is a marketing video that we use. Just thought you all might like to see it. Michelin wanted to see what we could do for them in our marketing plan. so we made the marketing video.
Thanks for the update. Scanned through the link. Are you going to continue racing in the series??
We have a corporate sponsor for the Petit LeMans race on Sept 26th. It will be up to the sponsor, yet to be announced, to determine if we continue next season.
It is a very expensive series, and the odds of winning are slim to none without concessions from the sanctioning body to over come the tire deficit. Until last weekend, no tire has won in ALMS other than Michelin since 2005. it is what it is.
thanks

Good luck on getting a sponsor. Do you have the link for the video that was viewed 500,000 times??
Reading is fundamental! What sponsor product will the video help sell??
Any product as long as we include them in all our video.
We have a great sponsor for Petit Le Mans now. We will announce it soon.
I just have to say that it is un American for any company to NOT sell a product to a company especially when it is the only real tire that is capable of winning.
No matter what the reason.
Michelin has been ambiguous and illogical with their reasoning. First it was that 22 teams were too many, until they added a 23rd. then with only 11 teams, they said that Chevrolet wanted to control the development of the GT2 Corvette tire, and I was out of luck.
Well, now it is developed and they still denied me the right to buy their tires. So what is it?
then they added a 4th Porsche to their mix but not a second corvette team??
INTEGRITY IS DOING THE RIGHT THING WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING!
we will move forward with Dunlop and hopefully they have Corvette Fitments for the street and we can help them sell Dunlops.
Thanks

Lou, congrats on the Petit deal, hopefully it will develop into something for next year. You and your people have always been extremely helpful and nice whether at the track or on the phone, I will continue to do my part to help by purchasing from you every chance that I get. Let me know when you have a set of 1 7/8" headers that will fit a LS7 in a C5. Look forward to seeing you at Petit.

Aren't they a French company? If that's the case, I'd fully expect them to act un-American, considering they're um.........not American and all.........
I have LG headers on my car, they work great. But the airing of sour grapes on the interweb reflects poorly on LG, imo. I think it comes across as being "whiny"........

I'm SHOCKED that COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELIN AMF could be so un-American!!!!

I am not the kind of guy that turns the other cheek.
The truth is the ultimate defense and all I said was the truth.
And if a company does business in America, then they have to follow all the American rules.
I would love to hear the chorus of "whining" from the other teams if they were suddenly denied these tires and what would amount to a 2 second penalty.
Yes, their tires are worth 2 seconds, and it took 110 pounds (55# off BMW and 55# on Porsche) and about 25 hp given in restrictor concessions to allow the Dunlop shod car to run up front.
They did their lobbying in private via the manufacturer to get the concessions.
Remember Team Corvette ran for a number of seasons on Goodyear (same company as Dunlop) and could not win a race against the Vipers. THEN they switched to Michelins and became unbeatable.
Hmmmm.
And Corvette racing whined after every race complaining publicly.
Sorry to be so insistent and demanding to be treated equally.
Thanks guys,
See you at the races on Dunlop tires.
