(NEWS RELEASE)

Daytona Beach, FL (March 14, 2014) LTD Racing’s Huntley Nash rebounded from a tough day on Friday to secure 14th in Friday’s season opener. Nash on the Neyra Racing Kawasaki ZX-10 improved his lap times in the race, and his last two laps were the best of the day.

The young Superbike racer fought wheelspin on the banking but gradually began to adapt with the lack of grip to shave time in the late race.

“I was having some crazy slides and having to drag the rear brake. I was going faster and my last lap was helped out by a draft somewhat but I think I can improve more,” said Nash. “I need to wrap my head around it. You ride dirt bikes all winter and you’re dragging the rear brake and you miss out on pushing the front. I’m working on getting that back. We need some more rear grip because this bike has an awesome motor and we need to be able to use it wide open on the banking.”

Nash wasn’t satisified with his result as he and the Neyra Racing team attempt to develop their Kawasaki Superbike into a top-ten machine in AMA Pro Superbike.

“There was a group ahead of me, and they were fighting for top eight. I wasn’t able to pick up the pace until they were gone,” said the three-time AMA Pro SuperSport race winner. “A rider came by, and I was able to learn a few things. I know where I am losing time. It’s the last 2 or 3 corners of the infield. Going into the left, I need to run it in deeper. If I can get that section together, I think we’ll be a lot better.”

Nash gets one more shot in a 15-lap race tomorrow at 11AM.
