Chaz Davies, the former 125cc and 250cc Grand Prix star who caused quite a stir when he finished fifth in his AMA Supersport debut at Mid-Ohio in October, is scheduled to appear all three days of the New York motorcycle show in Celtic Racing’s booth. Davies ran the whole Mid-Ohio Supersport race in the company of Champion Jamie Hacking, their duel remembered by thousands of television viewers. Davies will ride for New York-based Celtic Racing on Yamaha machinery in next season’s AMA Supersport and Formula Xtreme Championships. Show attendees can find Chaz at the Celtic Racing Booth answering questions and signing autographs. More on Chaz Davies, from another press release issued by Celtic Racing: CELTIC DOCUMENTARY Celtic Racing, OnTheThrottle.TV, and Catalyst Reaction Suspension Tuning announce a joint venture to air (via the web) a behind the scenes documentary of Chaz Davies’ 2007 rookie season in the AMA. Chaz Davies, Wales – UK, will pilot Yamaha’s venerable R6 for Celtic Racing in the AMA Supersport and Formula Xtreme Championships this year. The racing engines will be crafted by Celtic Performance engine tuner Mark Rozema, and the suspension by California tuning expert Dave Moss of Catalyst Reaction Suspension Tuning. OnTheThrottle.TV will document each race weekend and post the shows in the days immediately following each round of competition. “We’re so pleased to have secured Chaz for the 2007 season, particularly after his spectacular debut last October at the Mid-Ohio AMA Superbike Shootout,” said Celtic team owner Barry Gilsenan. “Between Chaz’s world class skills and the extra support from Yamaha with our R6’s, we’re looking to challenge for the podium every race weekend.” Chaz Davies, 19 years young, brings a wealth of British and World GP racing experience to the AMA grid consistently finishing among the Top 10 in the World 250 GP Championship aboard privateer equipment. World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson had this to say regarding his fellow countryman, “I know Chaz really well. If he gets the right opportunity here (AMA), he can battle for any championship”¦I think you’re looking at a future champion, definitely.” Dave Moss brings 10 years of suspension tuning to the Celtic pits. “When Barry invited me to the Dunlop tire test last month, I was continually amazed with Chaz’s natural talent and ability to put the track together quickly. I put him through a series of tests and was completely satisfied that we could work together and communicate effectively. I was also glad to see how warmly he was greeted and how well he was treated by the factory riders there. He rode exceptionally well for his first time at Daytona and it didn’t go unnoticed.” For information about the various Celtic Racing programs visit www.CelticRacing.com http://www.onthethrottle.tv/ www.chaz57.com
