Ash's assault on the 2011 season got underway at round one of the Super One series which was held at his home circuit of Whiltom Mill on the 13th of March.
Fifth place in the first of the two finals was good enough to put Ash on P5 behind Eastwood on pole alongside Ed Brand. Sean Babington and Oliver Hodgson making up row 2. Ash was progressing very nicely thank you when the engine let go, and it was all he could do to limp home across the finish line in 15th.
Ash said " It was a shame because I had been getting progessively quicker all weekend, that is until the engine let go. The engine has subsequently been stripped down to reveal a broken piston, there's not much you can do about that but its only the first round of the series so I'm just going to have to go a bit faster at Shennington which is the next venue for the Super One series."
