Reese Wacker (Suz GSX-R600), 6:27.588 More, from a press release issued by LTD Racing: WET DAY AT MID-OHIO FOR LTD RACING Lexington, Ohio Although wet and damp conditions meant most of Friday’s AMA Pro Supersport laps might not apply to the expected dry race on Sunday, the LTD Racing teammates of Tomas Puerta, Huntley Nash, and Joey Pascarella made progress at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Huntley Nash got the most laps of all on the day, as the Marietta, Georgia native rode his LTD Racing Yamaha as well as a guest ride with the Touring Sport Ducati Racing team. “Hunt” and Corey Rech qualified second in class in MotoGT. “We really didn’t have much of a day in Supersport because of the conditions,” said Nash. “It was good to get to ride the MotoGT bike, though. My pal Corey Rech, my former Red Bull teammate, is also riding with me. That bike is a lot different than my Yamaha but it reminds me of the bikes I rode when I first started racing. This deal came together kinda late but we qualified second quickest in the class so we have a good shot at doing well tomorrow.” His best Supersport time was 1:36.098, set in the morning practice where he only completed a few laps. Pascarella’s best lap of the day was 1:33.945. Joey, from Vacaville, California, set his quickest time of the day in the AM session. “We wanted to get some laps in a learn the track, but with the conditions it was no time to ride crazy or really do anything to crash and set us back for the weekend. Sunday’s weather is supposed to be different so there’s no reason to get ahead of ourselves.” Tomas Puerta of Colombia posted his best time of 1:33.944 in the morning. “It was a crazy day, in both the morning and afternoon. We had a slick track in the first session and then in the afternoon, it was wet after the rain. We were hoping to get to know the track better and that’s what happened. I didn’t want to push and crash the bike. On the last lap, I pushed a little but the times were nothing to get too excited about.” Tomorrow’s qualifying takes place at 8:40 AM local time.
