This is absolutely huge, to have a Ducati Powered Flat Tracker beat Hardly Davidson at their own game. HD has pushed for rules outlawing Kenny Roberts Yamaha two stroke TZ750 powered flat tracker, Kawasaki triple two strokes flat trackers and later on Honda two cylinder four stroke powered flat trackers so it really is HDs own game. A Ducati won the mile in Arizona last weekend ridden by Joe Kopp. See link below.
I remember watching them race the mile race here in Albuquerque at the State Fair grounds horse track.
