Hello D/due racers,

Just a small explanation on our equally small prize!.

It's £ 100 for the highest/best placed 583cc bike by/at the end of the series.
We will also have a trophy made to be awarded along with the cheque.

As yet the trophy shape is undecided, any suggestions?, ideally needs to reflect the 'desmo'aspect.

I should also explain that all this came about, due to the very friendly Kevins duo, or should that be 'due'?, enthusing about the whole D/D thing at our premises.
Myself and Donna though it might encourage the financially challenged to at least have something to aim at, (plus putting something back into what provides our livelihood) sorry it's not more!.

Tony,

Is that for a 583 bike or one that was originally a 583?

Interesting question!

Our prize was intendeded for those competitors who are perhaps just starting out in racing and are doing it on a basically standard machine.

As it looks likely that the overall winner will be on a tuned and probably enlarged engine, we thought that this would encourage the 'B' teams.

Therefore it must be the 80mm bore x 57.8mm stroke that = 583cc, t5his of course means the older and cheaper SS/Monster range.

We are fully aware that such a machine fitted with the larger bores will be impossible to identify it as such by a visual external examination, but we are sure that every body who sits on, never mind rides a Ducati, is above such tactics!.

We would leave it up to the organisers to take whatever investigative action they deemed appropriate. should some one be suspected of flouting this stipulation of our prize.

I hope that explains all.
