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

For those of you without bookfaces

And one more from his incredible Saturday.
Not only he had an amazing race day, he had his family there with him. Unique smile that will be missed by many.

I like Savs idea of retiring number 24. He had that forever. Be nice to maybe print up number 24 decals in the traditional svm target to put on our bikes too.

So saddened to see it on WMUR last night and then this thread soon after.

I was lucky to shake hands with Scott back when I started racing and I could immediately see that all of things people are saying here now is exactly what he was, a genuinely great person through and through.

To his friends and family, your loss is certainly heartfelt.

[DirtDawg21892]

No fucking way! Oh man, that's terrible.
I've been off facebook for the most part for a couple months now, I cant believe it's taken me 2 full days to hear about this.
My best wishes to Sarah and the kids, this is absolutely devastating news.

[jhawley]

saw on Facebook, def shit news to hear, wishing the best for the family.

[tsorfas]

I don’t know if should be sharing the fb photos here but this one is a must in my opinion.
Scott’s son, Chase, at the park today.

Couldn’t help but smile when I came across this photo. To be a kid again, the hope, the love, the pure soul.
That’s what that family needs to heal and grow through this. Chase has to “man up” and hold that family together and seems like he’s already on it. God knows his mom will need that pure love that only a kid can give in times like this.

Fundraising idea?

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.

Sucks man.. sucks. Scott and I never battled wheel to wheel but we both were entering the paddock and racing little bikes, and were on friendly 'hey what's up' terms. Just an all around great guy and I still think of Sarah as his 'new girlfriend'.

Due to moving West in 2010, I know I haven't been around for the past decade, but the LRRS family will always be near and dear to my heart and man... this really blows.

Love to you all. Please keep us updated on any fundraising, stickers, shirts, etc <3

Well done RRW

Well done RRW

I've a feeling this was written by either John Grush or Eric Wood, but I agree, I sincerely appreciate RRW publishing it. It was very well written.

Good guess probably. But puts good words in a situation where we still cant come up with any. I still have this stupid feeling that next time I'll be up at NHMS Scott will be there.

[OreoGaborio]

Yeah... it sure would be nice for this nightmare to end, wouldn't it?

I will for sure be up there next round to see "The Fam". No doubt there will be hugs & tears.

NEMRR by Mayhew - Loudon Road Race Series

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.

Who’s up to help with a benefit BBQ? Last one we did was for Mike Clark’s injuries and a lot of people contributed. I have all the equipment to get it done, just need some helpers to get through feeding several hundred racers.

Also, correct person at NEMRR to contact on setting this up? Assume John?

[OreoGaborio]

Yeah I have a feeling the next LRRS round will be made to be pretty significant.

I would def reach out to John Grush & Eric Wood to see who you can coordinate with.

I'll be down to help you out in whatever way I can, schedule permitting.

I'll be there too. Let me know what you need.

[curiouser]

Heartbreaking all around. Don't think I ever met him, but will definitely be keeping his loved ones in my thoughts and prayers.

[PurplePackage]

Really sorry for you loss guys. Hearing about an awesome man coming to his end is never easy. They say you die twice, once when you die, and once when stories about you are no longer spoken. So in a way, he's only half gone.

[sdog30]

Going to ride up Friday from western mass if anyone wants to join me. Details below.

Group ride to Scott Mullen's funeral
