The Ducati Superbike Concorso now heads to its last round.

Cupertino, California (August 7, 2008) – Ducati North America is pleased to

announce the winners of the Superbike Concorso’s third round, which was held

last weekend at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

The Mid-Ohio entry list included some exceptional bikes. The overall win and the

trip for two to the Ducati factory went to Alan Wilzig, for his pristine 1974 750

Sport. Alan may have won the competition, but story of the we ekend went to

Ducatisti Kevin Drum and Amy Chraston; whose surprise wedding proposal (and

immediate acceptance) in the middle of the Superbike Concorso display on

Saturday brought che ers from the delighted crowd.

The People’s Choice award came down to vintage vs. current Superbikes and

ended with a scant two vote difference. The winner was Tom Beasley for his

1986 Ducati F1b in Tricolore livery. This tipped the judging and earned Tom and

his F1 the Cook Nelson Award as well. But in this case the loser was also a

winner when Michael Smith’s beautiful 1098 S track machine was awarded the

Casey Stoner class prize.

Other awards included:

Bella Award – Edwin Vanaman, 1998 916 Senna

Passion Award Sponsored by Motorcyclist Magazine – Chris Calovini, 2000 996

Bayliss Award – Tom Perko, 1997 916SPS

The final round of the Superbike Concorso will be held at Indianapolis Motor

Spe edway September 12 -14th, 2008, on the FIM MotoGP World Championship

Weekend.
