Bobby Fong topped MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers Qualifying One (Q1) Friday afternoon at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, in Braselton, Georgia. Riding his SDI/Roland Sands Racing Indian Challenger on Dunlop control tires, Fong lapped the 2.55-mile course in 1:29.528. That time not only led the session and earned Fong provisional pole position but it also broke the All-Time Lap Record of 1:29.935 that Kyle Wyman set earlier in the day.

Multi-time Australian Superbike Champion Troy Herfoss was also under the old lap record with a second-best 1:29.720 on his S&S/Indian Motorcycle Challenger in spite of it being his first day riding at Road Atlanta.

Kyle Wyman’s session was interrupted with a crash, but the 1:29.793 he did on his Harley-Davidson Factory Racing Road Glide was good enough to claim the third and final spot on the provisional front row.

Defending Champion Hayden Gillim was fourth with a time of 1:30.352 on his RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson. Gillim’s teammate, class rookie Rocco Landers was fifth-fastest with a 1:30.633. And Herfoss’ teammate Tyler O’Hara rounded out the top six with a 1:30.736.

Update: Ruben Xaus informed Roadracingworld.com that his team is waiting on parts and plans to return to a future round of MotoAmerica King Of The Baggers.
