BRASELTON, Ga.  – The second of two HONOS Superbike sessions on Friday afternoon at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta was a stop-and-start affair with rain, lightning and finally more rain bringing a premature end to the day. That meant the quickest lap of the day was set in the dry morning session with defending four-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion Cameron Beaubier leading the way on the opening day in Georgia. It was on his 10th lap that he did his best time, a 1:25.380. M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Toni Elias and Bobby Fong ended the morning session fourth and fifth. Scholtz was fastest in the wet session, though Beaubier and Gagne didn’t bother going out in the wet conditions. Escalante led the qualifying session on Friday, besting M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Sean Dylan Kelly by .122 of a second. Brittenum Construction/Hayden Schultz Racing’s Hayden Schultz ended the session with the third fastest time.
