Thanks Joe.

Reuters has the same "Press release".

The Carolina Newswire site comes up over @ Corvette Forum.

You copied/pasted the shortened link text from the Corvette forum rather than posting the actual hyperlink address.

They have no enthusiast tires, which is why this might be a brilliant move. Hoosier gets the distribution network and Continental gets some performance tire capability.

Continental is the Title sponsor for the Mosport club race and I think this announcement is great news.

Good news. I think you'll see Conti announced as the tire in a major series soon. Keep your ears open.

Now that is funny. What back in 2006 one of the beers thrown on the track almost hit Bernie, now Hoosier-Conti is going to be the tyre provider in 2011. Priceless.
