I called the local Dunlop guys a couple times but had to leave a message. Looks like around $250 for a pair of Alpha 13s. Dunlop's trackside guys have been cool to me as a track day guy, plus they just sell cheaper rather than screwing with contingency (that I'm not real likely to win).

I also signed up for the track day next Friday. My job is switching insurance, so I'll register for racing as soon as the new info comes in (personnel promises by this Friday). Saturday they're doing a Ultra Light Weight GP race (I *think* this is 12 laps vs the usual 6) and I'm not in great shape, so I think I'm going to plan on doing tech and either corner working or fixing tech issues, and then race on Sunday which will have the standard 6 lap ULW Supersport and Superbike races.
I can confirm the $250 for the Alpha's. Running them on our NewGen 250 and had them put on at a race weekend. Great tires, stick like glue!

There is no 12 lap ULWGP race this Saturday or any ULWGP race on the schedule if you're talking about WMRRA....there is ULWSS Sunday, schedule is here: http://www.wmrra.com/2016round6.html

See you at Pacific!
