[Ducati] 900ss in AHRMA

[Mark Hatten]

Hi Guerin:

The good news is, most club races are won are lost due to rider ability 
rather than equipment.

The bad news is, you're going to be behind the 8-ball on equipment.  ;-)

Your bike is legal for BOT F2, and can bump up to race BOT F1 and Sound of 
Thunder for additional track time.  In BOT F2, you'll be racing against a 
lot of guys that bump up from BOT F3, a lot of whom are riding 
Supersport-spec SV650s.  But you'll also be racing against some true F2 
bikes, such as Superbike-spec SVs, Buells, Moto Guzzis, and some other 
air-cooled Ducatis.  Basically, in F2 you can run a 750cc liquid-cooled OHC 
twin, a 1000cc air-cooled OHC twin, or a 1250cc air-cooled push-rod twin. 
If I recall, Robbie Nigl won the BOT F2 National Championship last year on a 
Bruce Meyer's built TT750.  Of course, it was a very trick bike and Robbie 
is a very good rider.

Don't worry if you're bike is basically stock -- there's always somebody to 
race with, and I think you'll find AHRMA is a pretty cool group of folks to 
race with.  It's hard not to have fun.  Miller's an awesome track and Sandia 
is a very cool event.

The AHRMA rulebook is available online at www.ahrma.org

Give me a shout if you have any other questions.  I'm also a trustee with 
AHRMA and sit on two of the rules committees.
