Super Hooligan Homologation Race For HDR and Tampa Ducati at COTA
Hunter Dunham: “I got to ride a Ducati Monster at the Super Hooligan opener at Daytona and I was hooked on how fun it was to ride such raw motorcycles. It’s like riding around with my friends doing backyard flat track, but on much bigger bikes! With the Superbikes I’ve been riding it’s necessary to work on electronic strategies but with the Hooligan, it’s all about managing the spin off the turn and trying to find an aerodynamic body position so I can still breathe with my helmet getting crushed on my face!”
“The Ducati Monster was a little out powered at Daytona so Trever Varney at Tampa Ducati has put together a Ducati Streetfighter V2 for COTA. The bike isn’t homologated yet for the class so we’re going to run it to gather performance data to get it balanced for 2025. I don’t know if its going to be fast enough for the class, or too fast for the class, but I am looking forward to finding out.”
“The streetfighter has a similar engine to the Ducati Supersport bike but in that class the bikes are restricted to something like 80% throttle plate opening. In Hooligan we get to run WFO but we don’t have the benefit of a fairing and we have to run taller bars. I’ve been practicing on my bicycle trying to get as small as possible!”
