Tyler O’Hara earned pole position during MotoAmerica RSD Mission Super Hooligan qualifying at Circuit of The Americas (COTA), in Austin, Texas. Riding his S&S Indian FTR on Dunlop control tires, the defending Champion lapped the 3.4-mile, 20-turn road course in 2:15.895 during Qualifying One (Q1) on Friday afternoon, and that time was good enough to top the 40-rider field.

O’Hara’s teammate Troy Herfoss was second-best with a 2:16.522 that he also did during Q1.

Championship point leader Cory West, riding his Team Saddlemen Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250, led Qualifying Two (Q2) Saturday morning with a 2:16.651, and that earned him the third and final spot on the front row.

West’s teammate Jake Lewis qualified fourth with a 2:16.786.

Jeremy McWilliams, riding a third S&S Indian FTR, did a fifth-fastest 2:17.227.

Hayden Schultz secured the final spot on the second row and sixth overall with a 2:17.344  on his KWR Harley-Davidson Pan America.

Row three starters include Stefano Mesa (2:17.464) on his Tytlers Cycle Racing Energica Eva Ribelle RS, Dominic Doyle (2:17.616) on his Giaccmoto Racing Yamaha MT-09, and Cody Wyman (2:17.992) on his KWR Harley-Davidson.
