Desmo Due racing 2005
 

There will be details in this month's Pronto of a new race series that we are trying to run for next year.
The idea is to have a cheap simple formula based on 600/620 monster's and SS's-minimal modifications to keep the racing cheap. This will be for paid up club members only-we already have the first entry-well done to Tony Perrin-TP996(he'll probably enter as 'Muppet Racing':lol: )

well if tony's in it should attract more interest as last place is already sorted.:o

Great idea
Best of luck with it

Brings back memories of the Pro Am series, but with Dukes.
Will be good to watch.

:burn:

I plan on attaching a LARGE bungee cord to the back of your bike Dickie to help me stay with you and sling me past on the straights :D

Unless of course you're so gay you're not going to enter?

wont be any difference in bike power so i may be clipping onto you. what is the weapon of choice going to be then faired ss or monster???

There's different schools of thought on that one ... I think that if you get a monster you have access to a later engine, an injected one. Whereas I don't think they had injected 600SS's - only the carbed animals.

But you know, it's all down to individual preference etc.

I don't really know what I'll do yet. I just thought I'd get in quick while the gettings good.

Folks,

More details are available from myself :

Chris.Bushell@ducatisportingclub.com

The main aim is to keep a lid on costs and by the same token power, whilst allowing a lot of fun. The amount of power that you can get should still see a few heart stopping moments out on track, they will be well into 3 figures down a decent straight..

The aim of doing it through the Club is that it is a step up from a DSC trackday and hopefully you will be with the same people. We are looking at 4 days in the 1st year with two races per day; something that we felt most of us could get past "she who must be obeyed".

The bikes will still be eligable for trackdays and as you cant cut the frame about, you can always put it back on the road at the end of the year and flog it.

Early entries should get to choose their race numbers.

Oh yes they did....
 

(I think!) - 620SS for the 2003 model year only.

Main thing is that you can do more to an early one on carbs (inc 674cc big bore kit), but it is going to cost you less to buy. If you go injected 620 then the starting price will be higher and there is less that you can do to it.

Current wisdom is that chassis wise there is probably not a lot in it, handlebars are free, so it is going to be more about ability of the rider and the bguest1 st-up of the bike, than a specific frame.

Yes fork internals and rear shock are free.
