The yearly Ducati Clubraces are at moment the most competitive event in V-Twin racing worldwide. "Our team worked very hard to get the things together for this important event with their low noise level and the very limited track time, good to see that the success continues" said team owner Thomas Wanner.
With dark clouds in the sky, rider Harald Kitsch took in both dry qualifying sessions on Saturday the fastest lap and rode the Erik Buell Racing 1190 RR-B into the pole position. "Unfortunately we still have no rain setup for the bikes, so if we get rain on Sunday it will be hard to compete with the Assen rain specialists" said rider Harald Kitsch on Saturday evening.

In the night the rain started and continued the rest of the weekend. The team decided to use the "B" bike with lower power and the old radiator setup in the wet and took in Heat 1 the victory ahead of Ducati and KTM. The second race of the day with less rain and more traction problems Harald Kitsch finished 3rd.
"Harald was really brave" said Crewchief Jens Krüper "We tried to soften the bike for the rain, but it was still much too hard and so he never found acceptable traction. Additionally we built a special big exhaust system to meet the strict 104 dB noise regulations, and it blocked the maneuverability of Harald's right foot a lot. With a proper setup another double victory would be possible; we learn from race to race more about Erik's 1190 RR, and I can tell you its a winning bike!".
Next Sound of Thunder race weekend is at the Festival Italia at Oschersleben / Germany 25. - 27th of June.
