Miller Brothers Productions, LLC
(MBP) is proud to announce the
launch of the Xtreme Dragbike
Association (XDA). The series
will consist of a total of 6
events in 2018, and will be held
at Maryland International
Raceway, Virginia Motorsports
Park and Atco Dragway.
The XDA will be an East Coast
motorcycle drag racing series.
The class structure will be made
up of professional classes,
sportsman classes and grudge
racing. The XDA series is solely
owned and operated by Miller
Brothers Productions.
Maryland International Raceway (MDIR)
has always been the hub of the
motorcycle series for the past
two decades. So it was important
for MBP to wait until all
contractual issues and
restrictions were resolved with
IRG before moving forward with
the series. With recent changes
in IRG senior management, the
opportunity to resolve these
matters and start this new
series became possible. With
good faith negotiations on both
sides, a deal was signed to host
three XDA events at Maryland
International Raceway.
The IDBL will now become a
single, independent event held
at Maryland International
Raceway on June 8-10, 2018. The
event will be called the “IDBL
Sport Nationals” which will
showcase motorcycle drag racing
sportsman classes and grudge
racing. This IDBL event will be
run by Royce Miller and the rest
of the MDIR team.
Virginia Motorsports Park (VMP)
was recently purchased by Tommy
and Judy Franklin this past
October. With a long-term
personal relationship between
the Millers and the Franklins,
it was only natural to bring the
XDA to Virginia. VMP is a great
facility in a good market for
motorcycle drag racing. MBP is
excited to see the new direction
of VMP and be a part of their
future success with bringing two
XDA events to their facility.
Atco Dragway has a rich 40+ year
history in motorcycle drag
racing with the Orient Express
Motorcycle U.S. Nationals. This
event will be a flagship event
on the XDA schedule. The event
has traditionally been held in
September; but with the new XDA
schedule and proper spacing
between the events, the Atco
event has been moved into May.
MBP has worked with Len Capone
and Caitlin Sabin at Atco
Dragway for several years and is
excited to return with an XDA
event.
Jason Miller (XDA promoter)
stated, “Chris and I have missed
our motorcycle drag racing
community the last couple of
years. We are beyond excited to
be back in 2018. There are still
many details to be finalized in
the series such as classes,
rules, purses, etc. We expect to
have XDAracing.com up and
running in the coming weeks with
more details on the series.
However, we wanted to announce
the 2018 XDA series and dates as
soon as possible so everyone can
make plans while we work on the
rest of the program. We are
going to need everyone’s support
with the XDA to make this series
the best it can be.”
Chris Miller (XDA Director of
Operations) stated, “Jason and I
are ready to roll up our sleeves
and get to work. We’re really
looking forward to seeing all of
the familiar faces along with
some new ones. This is going to
be a great series for all -
we’ll see you in April!”
