MECHANICAL ISSUES STOP NASH IN VIRGINIA

Alton, VA (May 17, 2015) - Huntley Nash and LTD Racing saw their fortunes dashed at VIRginia International Raceway on Sunday as mechanical issues ended the hard charger’s race in each leg of the doubleheader.

In race one, Nash had settled in during the early laps and looked to make a charge when his shifter broke. In race two, Nash had a great start and was in prime position for his best-yet Superbike finish before an engine issue caused him to pull to the side of the 2.25-mile track. Despite showing promise during the weekend, the Georgian was denied a points-paying result for his efforts.

“In the first race, I was getting into the groove when the shifter broke,” Nash said."In the second one, I got a good start and jumped up to fifth. I was happy with that and looking forward to some battles. I was feeling ready to go when we had a problem with the engine. It’s frustrating not to finish, but I felt good about how I was riding. It’s just our second race with the Ducati, and we’re working hard to be competitive. We’ll learn something from the weekend and look forward to putting it all together for the next time.”

NASH IMPROVES HIS TIME IN VIRGINIA QUALIFYING

Alton, VA (May 16, 2015) — Huntley Nash qualified sixth in the Superbike class and will start 11th overall in Sunday’s MotoAmerica Superbike doubleheader at Virginia International Raceway. The Georgian improved his lap times on Saturday and made progress with the new LTD Racing Ducati in just the team’s second pro race weekend.

Nash earned a spot in the faster Superpole session in the afternoon with the tenth overall best time in the morning practice hour.

"We dropped half a second from yesterday’s time and that was pretty good progress,” said Nash. "We also stiffened up the bike and it feels really good, especially for race conditions. It’s comfortable to ride and we haven’t reached a point where I feel like I can’t go any faster on it. We’re still developing our electronics and we’re not there yet with that part of the package, but the bike feels like it will be really good in the races. The guys right in front of us are separated by a tenth or so, so if there’s a group of riders fighting for position, I feel like we can be competitive. I’m hoping for some good battles out there."

Nash will race twice on Sunday.

EARLY PROMISE FOR NASH IN VIRGINIA

Danville, VA (May 15, 2015) -- LTD Racing’s Huntley Nash showed strong form with more potential in reserve in the first day of MotoAmerica practice at Virginia International Raceway. Nash was seventh in Superbike but feels confident he can charge up the standings after clocking his fastest time yet at the circuit with a lap of 1:27.970.

“There were some positives and overall I like the way things are going,” said Nash. "I thought it went okay. I was 12th overall, which doesn’t sound so great but I was a couple seconds behind first and less than a second behind 5th. Everyone is in a pretty tight group so if we can make some gains, we will move up a few spots. We concentrated on making the bike better rather than cutting a fast lap because I think the Saturday morning session is the best time for that. There’s more in the bike and we used the same front tire the whole session. I’m not in Superpole yet but I think I can do something about it tomorrow morning.”

Still in the development stage of LTD Racing’s Superbike program, Nash and the team used Friday to adapt their Ducati to the challenges of the 2.25-mile North Course at VIR.

"The team changed the geometry and it helped. It really improved the feeling,” said Nash. "The bike feels good and it is the fastest I have ever been around here."

Nash hasn’t raced at VIR since 2010 but did test a Kawasaki Superbike at the circuit in recent years. "I really like the track and I missed racing here,” said the Georgian "It’s a fun track but it’s also challenging because you can get arm pump. I think it is a good track for the Ducati. The sweeping turns seem to suit the bike well."

Nash will qualify on Saturday and race twice on Sunday.
