Nathan Raptis has been in and around racing since he was a young kid. As a teenager, Raptis worked as Crew Chief on his father’s sprint cars; he first got involved in motorcycle racing by working on his cousin Geoff May’s racebikes in 2002. That family connection led to an opportunity for Raptis to work on the Team Hammer crew at a few AMA Races in 2005. Raptis made an impression and was signed as a fly-in mechanic working with Geoff May and then with Blake Young. For 2010 Raptis is working with Team Hammer’s Contract Services Department as a fly-in mechanic for the GEICO Powersports RMR Suzuki program and rider Danny Eslick.
