Indianapolis Motogp, Project Mugello and Flat Track 2009 : Year Two for the Indygp and the one thing we all knew for sure was the weather had to be better. No hurricane and a years worth of fine tuning turned a good weekend into a great one. Near perfect weather and a new Ducati Island layout was the centerpiece of 5 days of non-stop activity. Parties, rides, and great racing on both asphalt and dirt attracted both racing heroes and regular folk and the resulting mix was memorable. Join us for Ducati Island  and Project Mugello weekend at Indy Motogp 2009.......

Laguna Seca MotoGP Ducati Island 2009 : Laguna Seca Ducati Island.  It's literally the "Mother of all Ducati Islands" because it all started here.  Inspired years ago by the red hillside covered with Ducati's at Donington Park, it's become the world standard for Ducati race weekend parties. It's been a long term partnership really - Ducati North America's goal is to yearly "raise the bar"  and the Ducatisti who attend year after year have been hand in hand with the plan, building bikes and planning adventures with this weekend in central focus.  This year the stars aligned -  the weather was perfect and the date fell over the 4th of July holiday weekend, allowing Ducatisti to spend a three day weekend getting fully into the Island groove. The result was (just my opinion but I've been to them all) the best one yet.  See for yourself, join us for  a stroll around the island. Welcome to Vicki's View "You Were There, Laguna Seca"..........

Project Mugello Indy Motogp : Project Mugello. Named for the famous card stunt Ducatisti preform in the Mugello grandstands near Florence, it took a city of Ducatisti to make it happen, 26 Ducati owners clubs in all. First order of business, we needed a grandstand! Then sell 1000 seats, literally a year of work and phone calls. In the end it was all about a couple minutes of pure luck. Literally a card stunt in a hurricane, pulled off in driving rain and 45 mph winds, the remenants of Hurricane Ike. When the time came to raise the cards the wind suddenly died down, we got in our 60 second show and back the winds came with a vengence, proving what WE knew all along, EVERYBODY, even Mother Nature, loves Ducati's! Special thanks to Foremost Insurance who sponsored the grandstand and Joe Kivett of Jacob-Davis Productions whose expertise made the difference when things got tough, the Ducati grandstand team from Bologna, the Desmodromiclubs of Roma and Kansas City, the Hoosier Hooligans, Desmohio and DRILL (among MANY others) for the technical help and manpower needed to perform this miracle. :-) And Extra Special Thanks to Bill Carr at Ducati Indianapolis. Without his help the entire Project Mugello 5 days would have been impossible to organize.
