Eric Wood to Race NCR Corse Millona “One Shot” at the 84th Loudon Classic
Loudon, NH Ducati enthusiasts know of NCR/Poggipolini Group as the small Italian manufacturer of exotic aftermarket race components for their Bologna Bombers. But this weekend, Loudon Classic race fans will get to know NCR Corse for a very purpose built track machine known as the NCR Millona ‘One Shot’.
The Millona will be piloted by local favorite Eric Wood. Eric has ridden and won on just about everything. He is a permanent fixture of the New Hampshire International Speedway, in particular with the Penguin Racing School. Bruce Meyers, a passionate supporter of motorcycle racing and a hallowed Ducati tuner will get Millona running to Eric’s specific needs and put him in the ideal condition to race and win!
“I’m really looking forward to riding the NCR Millona”, said Eric. “I have read a lot about their bikes and marvel at their abilities to transform the Ducati 2-valve engine. The NCR ride was put together just 2 days ago but Bruce and I will be ready to give the bigger bikes a tussle. This is a tremendous opportunity and we want to thank NCR Corse, Cliff’s Cycle Revolution and Ducati NA for putting this together.”
The Millona sports the recently developed 1200cc version of the Ducati 1000DS 2 valve engine. Although it was most recently clocked at 182mph on the banks of Daytona, Eric will certainly take advantage of Millona’s 121 rear wheel hp and incredible light weight (270 lbs) to maneuver around NHIS’s more technical track.
NCR has become more notable in the North American market since the unveiling of ‘New Blue’. This commemorative limited edition track-only bike was commissioned by Ducati NA in tribute of Cook Neilson’s 1977 Daytona victory on a Ducati 750SS – known as OLD BLUE.
NCR Millona, NCR ‘New Blue’ and NCR Corse race components are entirely hand built and sold through Cliff’s Cycle Revolution, New England’s exclusive NCR dealer.
