Rocco Landers topped MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers Qualifying One (Q1) Friday afternoon at Circuit of The Americas (COTA). Riding his RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Road Glide on spec Dunlop tires, the class rookie lapped the repaved 3.4-mile track in 2:14.779. Not only was that faster than anyone else in the class, it also broke Kyle Wyman’s All-Time Lap Record of 2:14.890.

Hayden Gillim, Landers’ teammate and the defending Champion, was also under the old record with a 2:14.858, but that was only good enough for second in the session.

Title contender Troy Herfoss turned a 2:15.277 early in Q1, but when he returned to the pits his team couldn’t get his S&S Indian Challenger restarted, ending his session prematurely. Herfoss’ time ended up being the third-best.

Herfoss’ teammate Tyler O’Hara was fourth with a 2:15.296.

Championship point leader Kyle Wyman rounded out the top five with a 2:15.501 on his Harley-Davidson Factory Racing Road Glide.
