Team M4 EMGO Suzuki teammates Geoff May and Michael Barnes and Millville & Wildwood Harley-Davidson’s Dave Estok each earned a Formula USA pole position during qualifying Saturday at Virginia International Raceway, while Speedwerks.com’s Brian Kcraget earned pole positions for both the 125cc and 250cc USGPRU events.

“The crew has been working really hard on my set-up, and the bike has really come around,” said May, who obliterated the Sportbike class lap record of 1:29.951 with a 1:28.362 on a GSX-R600 fitted with soft-race-compound Pirelli tires. Sportbike Championship leader Jeff Wood, Robert Jensen and Michael Himmelsbach will also start the Sportbike race from the front row Sunday.

Barnes used a 17-inch slick front and 17-inch, DOT-labeled Pirelli rear tire to turn a 1:28.400 on his AMA Formula Xtreme-spec GSX-R600, lowering the Superbike class lap record from 1:30.027. Riding his Sportbike GSX-R600, May qualified second, Wood was third-fastest on his Arclight Suzuki GSX-R600 and Robert Jensen earned the final spot on the front row on his Kneedraggers.com Yamaha YZF-R6.

Not to be out done, Estok broke his own two-year-old lap record of 1:33.699 with a 1:33.605 on his Pirelli-equipped, Rich-Cronrath-tuned Buell XB12R. CAD Cycles’ David Yaakov, Hal’s Performance Advantage’s Dan Bilansky and Richie Morris Racing’s Clint Brotz also qualified on the front row.

Kcraget didn’t break any records during his qualifying session, but he didn’t need to. His 1:36.265 was good enough for the 125cc GP pole and his 1:34.081 was the fastest time in 250cc USGPRU qualifying.

F-USA Formula Sportbike and CCS Unlimited Grand Prix qualifying sessions were postponed until Sunday morning due to various delays in Saturday’s race program causing the day to run long.
