From a press release issued by The Penguin School:

The Penguin Roadracing School partners with Ducati North America

The Penguin Roadracing School, the oldest motorcycle road racing school in the nation, has signed a multi-year agreement with Ducati North America that has the two companies working together at the grass roots level of road racing in the United States.

The Penguin Roadracing School will become the first officially endorsed Ducati motorcycle school in the US and the two companies will be working together to both increase rider participation and Ducati’s involvement in both regional road racing and track days.

Jerry Wood, founder of the Penguin School, quoted “I have been racing Ducatis for 27 years and I am excited to be working with a group of motorcyclists with the enthusiasm of Ducati North America. The sport oriented Italian marque and performance based Penguin Racing School are a perfect match to bring more riders into the sport of road racing. Our program will allow many riders to get the ‘Ducati Experience’ on the racetrack.”

“I am extremely pleased” said Michael Lock, CEO of Ducati North America, “to have our company associated with Penguin Roadracing School. Racing is at the core of Ducati’s values and tradition, and we look forward to promoting not only Ducati but amateur road racing as well.”

The Penguin School will be instructing on Ducati motorcycles and will have Ducatis available to rent for both participation in the school and in some CCS races starting in 2004.
