Tyler Scott earned pole position for the 101st Loudon Classic Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, in Loudon, New Hampshire. Riding his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750 with a soft-compound Dunlop rear tire, the 18-year-old defending Champion lapped the 1.6-mile infield road course in 1:09.745 – nearly one second faster than anyone else.

Bobby Fong was the best of the rest with a 1:10.723 on his Wrench Motorcycles Suzuki GSX-R750. 

Hayden Gillim moved up from fourth to third during the third and final qualifying session with a 1:10.899 on his Vesrah/Steel Commander Suzuki GSX-R750.

Scott’s teammate Teagg Hobbs claimed the fourth and final spot on the front row with a lap of 1:10.932.

Row two will include Boulder MotorSports Ducati’s Stefano Mesa (1:10.965), Woodcraft/Penguin Racing School Ducati’s Eric Wood (1:11.220), Bauce Racing Yamaha’s Joseph LiMandri, Jr. (1:11.299), and unsponsored Ben Gloddy (1:11.312).

In the other feature classes: BARTCON Racing’s Eli Block (1:15.615) took pole position in Pro 500 Superbike, J. Crossman Racing’s Jacob Crossman (1:13.909) topped Pro Thunderbike qualifying, and Tyler O’Hara (1:20.349) did two laps total on his Indian Motorcycle of Southeastern Virginia/S&S Indian Challenger RR in ASRA Outlaw Bagger qualifying and that was good enough to take pole position by more than six seconds over the next-fastest rider.
