4th Annual Ducati TT/F1 Symposium - September 2nd - 4th, 2012

The sights and sounds of a sea of Ducati TT1, TT2, and 750F1s..  A gathering of some of the most rabidly enthusiastic TT1 and F1 fanatics from all over the world..

The TT/F1 Symposium gets better each year and brings the bikes closer to their native habitat; the race track.  The event’s come a long way from the first gathering at Lou Saif’s shop in Queens, NY.  We had an excellent group the following year at Ralf Stechow’s shop in New Jersey the following year, followed by the mother of all TT/F1 extravaganzas at Viki Smith’s Ducstock event last year at Barber Motorsports Park.  But at Barber, we were still (but for the half-dozen racers) a distance from the track itself and we came away with that event with a desire to get the gathering into the pits and onto the track.  The TTs (and their hot-rodded F1 cousins) are after all; pure racers – many of which are fully prepped for battle.

So, for 2012, the 4th Annual Ducati TT/F1 Symposium moves north to New Hampshire Motor Speedway www.nhms.com; a tight, twisty track in the Northeast US.  

Connecticut enthusiast Mike Weber put a substantial amount of time into bringing a new Ducati TT and F1 class into the Loudon Road Racing Series for 2012 and this lets our machines duke it out on a more level playing field.  The new class structure and a ‘perfect storm’ of events let Mike create a really neat, multi-discipline program for the 2012 Symposium that offers racing, track time and of course, the already famous static display of these amazing bikes.

Registration for the TT/F1 Symposium is easy; just show up with your bike and gear.  To register for the track activities, follow the links to the organizing bodies in the schedule below:

• Sept 2nd - Modern Club Racing by Loudon Road Racing Series www.lrrsracing.com which has a P-89 class catering to TT/F1 bikes.  Suggested entries for TTs and F1s are P-89 light (featured on Sunday) and formula 50 light (Saturday).
• Sept 3rd - Vintage Racing with United States Classic Racing Association www.race-uscra.com having multiple classes for TT/F1 bikes.  Suggested entries:  Formula 1 and 2, Masters and Supermasters
• Sept 4th - Track Day with Fishtail Riding School www.fishtailridingschool.com for a more relaxed on track experience with classes from entry level to advanced.

 We’re still nailing down some of the logistics, but you’ll find regular updates on the Ducati TT and F1 Forum.

See you there (if I ever get my bikes finished)..
