From a press release issued by Ducati North America:

DUCATI DAY DAYTONA CATERS TO DUCATISTI DURING MARCH BIKE WEEK

The 2005 edition of Daytona’s biggest Ducati party ramps up to kick off the AMA racing season.

Cupertino, CA – December 7th, 2004 – The Ducati.Net Ducati Owners Club and Ducati North America present DucatiDayDaytona at Speedpark Motorsports on Friday, March 11th, 2005. This party kicks off the 2005 AMA racing season in Daytona Beach, Florida across from the world famous Daytona International Speedway. Those attending DDD will be able to soak up the sun while admiring Ducati’s on display, race go-carts, or test their skills aboard the Speedpark’s 22 foot dragsters (each with a roaring 300 horsepower 350 cubic inch V-8 engine) in the Nitro Alley Challenge. The event will also include Ducati race team appearances, tech talk classroom sessions, a Ducati only bike show, umbrella girls, the American Ducati Idol motor sound contest, a vendor row and more. DDD also marks the final round of the nationwide Ducati Monster Challenge contest. The lucky winner of this event will be presented with a new Ducati Monster S4R at the party.

Long known for its prestigious Ducati bike show, the 2005 DDD adds a new class, “Best Special”, a salute to Daytona’s long tradition of custom built “specials”. The entry fee to participate in the bike show is $10. Trophies are provided by CycleCat Motorcycle Performance products, a long time sponsor of Ducati.Net.

Returning this year is the popular American Ducati Idol – “Let Your Ducati Sing” contest where the Ducati with the best exhaust note will be chosen. This event will again be judged by the visiting members of the Desmodromiclub of Rome, Italy.

Celebrities expected to attend and sign autographs include renowned racer Eric Bostrom, rider of the Parts Unlimited Ducati Austin AMA 999 Superbike, Neil Hodgson, former World Superbike Champion n his AMA debut, and world famous long distance record holder Gary Eagan, who will also be giving a seminar on his sport touring adventures.
