Larry Pegram, aboard his Ducati 1098R, swept the field this weekend during the AMA Pro Racing American Superbike Tornado Nationals at Heartland Park in Topeka, Kansas. Pegram won SuperPole which put him at the start of both the Saturday and Sunday races. He then led every lap during both races to totally dominate the weekend and add 63 points to his championship total.

These were Pegram’s second and third wins for the year. Look for him to continue this effort at the Big Kahuna Nationals at Virgina International Raceway, August 14-16th.

This is a good running 900SS CR with gio.ca.moto carbon slipons and a fresh valve check and timing belts. The bike still runs great and looks good as well. Thsi is a good entry into the Ducati world and makes a surprisingly good day-to-day bike, being pretty comfy and effective as a weekend bike.
