The Ducati Trackday that will be held on October 16th (see info here) now features lower entry fees for those of you who will be riding an Italian at the event; entry for an Italian bike is now $195 while non-Italian machines is $225.

Additionally, should you be a novice to track days and thus required to attend the novice school - a wise thing to do - the school fee is $100 for Italian bike riders and $125 for non-Italian riding peeps.
