Geoff May and Steve Rapp both broke the motorcycle lap record at Homestead-Miami Speedway Saturday afternoon during CCS Unlimited GP qualifying, with Team Valvoline EMGO Suzuki’s Rapp ending the session with pole position for tomorrow’s race and another new lap record.
May was fastest first, turning a 1:25.125 (for an average speed of 93.463 mph) aboard his Superbike GSX-R1000 on Pirelli 16.5-inch slicks. But Rapp turned a 1:25.084 (93.508 mph) late in the 15-minute qualifying session aboard his Formula Sportbike-restricted Superstock GSX-R750 on DOT-labeled Michelin tires.
Since Thursday, Rapp and May have set the motorcycle lap record at Homestead-Miami Speedway six times between them.
