Just a bit of Background before moving onto the finer points
There was a thread recently started on the forum about having a Class C and contributed to by members that were looking to race Ducatis other than DD.
It has always been possible to race bigger Ducatis with various race clubs and even at selected BSB and International meetings, be it in Sound of Thunder, Minitwins, Thunderbike, Streetstock, Streetfighter or the 848 Challange.

For 2012 it looks like a couple of clubs are offering another couple of oppotunities to race a older Ducati in the form of a Classic Superbike class based on bikes from at least 10 years ago.
One of these clubs is Hottrax who will again be Hosting the Existing Desmo Due Class A and Class B series
They in turn offered us the oppotunity to add bikes to there Proposed Grid, a Grid that already catered for the likes of a Ducati 998, a 996RS or a 996SPS etc across two classes, with the class entered being based on the Spec of the bike.

So to add a 3rd Class to the grid and have it under the Desmo Due banner we considered keeping it in line with the DD ethos, which is the basis for the choice of bikes and many of the rules.
The 4 valve bikes are all based on pre Testastretta production models therefore having a heritage over 10 years old.

And although a lot later Aircooled 2-valve models have been incorporated again their heritage goes back many years. A 1000DS looks just like a 1999 750SSie and the use of Twinspark goes back even futher with BOTT racing

As such the Classic Superbike grid will consist of 3 classes that should cater for all Ducati race bikes over 10 years old.
So if you want to race a Aircooled 2-valver, a 748, 853, 916, 996, SPS, RS there should be a class for you even if you find yourself sharing a grid with a RC45, a R7, a RSV, a ZXR or a SRAD

You have to be a DSC member to join 1C, do you have to pay the DD fee as well like the A & B ?

Hasa the horsepower limit for class 1C been decided yet? I am sure I have seen 120bhp quoted, though I have seen specs for 996s at 123bhp and know of 996s's running at 125bhp. Would a 130bhp limit be acceptable?

Oh Lordy Mike, your on the floor with 50BHP :lol:

Craig

44bhp to be exact..........................:roll:
