    For those who haven't heard the devastating news out of Loudon...

    I'm sorry guys... This one's absolutely heart wrenching and there's nothing I or anyone can say way to soften the blow...

    The entire LRRS/NEMRR family is shocked and gutted. He will forever be missed.

    Godspeed #3. It was a privilege and an honor gridding up next to you.

    Posted today (Monday) at 2pm on the NEMRR - Loudon Road Race Series Facebook page:
    It is with the heaviest of hearts that we report the passing of Scott Mullin, who succumbed to his injuries after a crash this past Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He was an accomplished expert level racer, a life long motorcycle enthusiast and a pillar of the motorcycle community in New Hampshire. Scott also managed Souhegan Valley Motorsports in Milford, NH, which has been owned by his family for years and has supported dozens of racers at the speedway during that time.

    The incident happened during the third lap of the Unlimited Superbike event as Mullin entered turn 6 of the 1.6 mile road course at the speedway. No other riders were involved in the crash.
    NEMRR president John Grush shared, "Scott was a beloved member of the NEMRR motorcycle racing family and will be sorely missed. On behalf of NEMRR, we send our heartfelt love and support to his family and loved ones." The details for the funeral and memorial service will be announced as they become available.


    And today (Tuesday) from Roadracing World

    Round 5 of the NEMRR series by Mayhew Tools was held at New Hampshire Motor Speedway over the July 31-August 1 weekend.

    Many riders competed and wrote new chapters in their racing story, but there is only one story that this article will report on. It is a story of both love and loss, and of community and individuals who profoundly affect us all.

    Near the end of the day on Sunday, Scott Mullin crashed in Turn 6 of the Unlimited Superbike race on his Kawasaki ZX-10R. During the incident Scott was struck by his motorcycle. Medical professionals later reported that Scott immediately succumbed to his injuries.

    Motorcycle racing often becomes part of the very fabric of the lives for those of us who take part in it. The sport creates challenges, emotions, and experiences that are hard to find anywhere else in the world. In spite of the incredible attraction of the racing itself, perhaps an even more powerful force that draws us in is the community of exceptional people that we meet along the way. NEMMR is blessed with an incredibly close community and Scott Mullin was certainly one of the people who drew us all together.

    Scott was a championship-winning racer who spent the early part of his career on lightweight bikes. His spirited efforts on an often underpowered Kawasaki Ninja 650 made for some of the finest race spectating of the weekend in the early 2010’s. After a brief stint on 600cc machinery, he moved into the unlimited class on a Kawasaki ZX-10R, a bike which he expressed particular enjoyment in riding in an interview with NEMMR photographer Martin Hanlon on Saturday.

    Scott had recorded a career best lap time in the 1:11’s earlier in the weekend and had established himself to be a force to be reckoned within the class. He carried himself with a quiet determination and commitment to winning, but at the same time would give the shirt off his back to one of his fellow racers – even a championship rival. Scott would wish you luck before a race in a way that was heartfelt and sincere, and then moments later would race you as hard and as clean as he could.

    A steady stream of posts recounting the way that his generosity, his mentorship and most often just his smile affected those around him for good continue to flood social media. Many riders and friends recounted how Scott “took them in like a member of his family.”

    Anyone who knew Scott knew him as a family man. His wife Sarah, daughter Reese, and son Chase were always by his side both at the racetrack and at home.

    A quote from the Mullin family embodied the principles that Scott lived by. The lifelong motorcycle enthusiasts came together at the family-owned Souhegan Valley Motorsports dealership on Monday and posted: “The SVM family is gathered together with broken hearts at the loss of our fearless leader, boss, father, husband, brother, son and friend. Scott did what he loved everyday and we are all so thankful to have been a part of this family. We will get through this with our community. Thank you all.”

    As word spread through the paddock first of Scott’s crash and later of his passing, the community rallied together to support Scott’s family, crew and then each other. The impact that Scott’s life had on the entire NEMRR paddock could be felt in nearly every corner and crevice of New Hampshire Motor Speedway and will surely be felt for many years to come.

    For the past 50 years there have only been two riders who have run the #3 on their motorcycle. For the remainder of the 2021 season, many of the NEMRR paddock will also have the opportunity to carry the #3 on their motorcycles. The Scott Mullin #3 will serve us all as a symbol of what a life well lived can look like, and can remind us of the importance to laugh, encourage, give and care for others as Scott demonstrated during his exemplary life.

    Wednesday EDIT: Just posted to facebook:

    The service for Scott Mullin will be held on Friday August 6th from 4-7pm at the Smith & Heald Funeral Home in Milford, NH. All are welcome to join us as we celebrate the life of our friend and offer our support to both the family and each other.

    The Scott Mullin Honorary Trust has been set up for the benefit of Scott's family. Donations may be left at the service or mailed to Souhegan Valley Motorsports, and the trust will soon allow people to donate electronically. Details will be released as soon as they are available.

    Unbelievable. I can’t wrap my head around this one. I hope they retire his number, if there’s ever a case it’s warranted this is it.

    Scott Cole just posted this...

    This video is slashes through to my core and wrenches my heart in the most beautiful way possible.

    Thank you for posting, Scott. You might've turned me into a sobbing mess, but I love you, brother.

    Was waiting for someone to post this. I couldn't believe it when Sergio told me yesterday.

    Any death of a racer is horrible, but it always hits harder when it's someone you know. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since yesterday. Genuinely one of the nicest and most supportive guys at the track. Fucking crazy.

    One of the first things I said after asking 100 times which Scottie to confirm I’m not stupid.
    But not the 3. Retire the 24!

    Pete I mirror everything have said / posted. I got no fucking words.
    I’m just glad I went up at the classic and got a chance to shake hands with him one last time. I can’t even say Sarah without balling my eyes out. I spent all night just staring at my son. Just still can’t wrap my head around it.

    This news has hit me pretty hard. My heart felt thoughts go out to Scott and the entire Mullin family, his employees, race team, fellow racers, customers, friends and anyone who’s had the pleasure to meet him. Scott and SVM have helped me numerous times with getting my bike sorted. He was an inspirational figure for many including myself. I believe he’s earned his race wings and he is now revving his motor letting everyone know that he’s now in the paddock up above. Yesterday we lost a really good one. This day for me will never be forgotten. We’re gonna miss you buddy!

    BTW Thanks a $1,000,000 for the SVM stickers you gave me Saturday. They definitely added some HP and helped get me a PB 22.042

    Such a loss. I didn't know Scott as well as some of you but was always proud to call him a friend. Such a great guy in so many ways. Will never forget his trademark smile laughing about a T1 "moment" we had on a bike he sold to me. He'll be missed by so many.

    I'm crushed thinking about how many of my friends are hurting right now.

    Sending hugs, brothers and sisters. Wish there were some way I could take your pain away.

    I was gutted and in disbelief yesterday when I got the call. Just can't believe its true. The world and the racing community lost an amazing person.

    Just awful. This has really messed with my head since I have heard the news.

    And I agree with retiring his number for ever.

    Remember being rookies together a lifetime ago. Such a solid guy who showed up and epitomized what it meant to support the community. Like many others have shared, this one hits hard. Godspeed Scooter.

    Although I haven't been to the track in a bit due to geographical logistics, I have been keeping up with things when I can.
    Pretty devastating to get this news earlier a figurehead at the track and will be sorely missed by everyone who interacted with him in any capacity. It was always a pleasure to watch him ride and also hang in the paddock, godspeed.

    Can't say I knew the man, but he seems like he was one hell of a guy. My thoughts are with all his friends & family. Terrible news for sure.

    I heard it was a very bad weekend for NE motorcycle racing. Along with the loss of your friend, another #24 died of a medical issue, not a crash, during an MX race in NH this weekend. Not to distract from the thread of your friend and competitor, but maybe some of you know him, Pete Collins of Pete's Cycle and Sled.
