Mickey Thompson Tires signs up
as the new sponsor of the Top
Sportsman class at the XDA!
The Mickey Thompson Tires Top
Sportsman is a sportsman class
designed for the quickest
bracket bikes in the country!
Most of these motorcycles run in
the 7-second zone! This is an
E.T. bracket class with a
32-bike qualified field and run
on a .500 full tree.
Mickey Thompson Tires Top
Sportsman racers just need to
purchase a 2-Day Pro E.T. Tech
card and will get two qualifying
shots on Saturday that count
towards the Top Sportsman
32-Bike qualified field on
Sunday. On Saturday night, Top
Sportsman racers will run in Pro
E.T. that pays $3,000 to win.
Then on Sunday morning if you
make the 32-Bike qualified
field, you will run in Top
Sportsman which pays $3,000 to
win. Those that don’t qualify
will run in Pro E.T. which also
pays $3,000 to win. In 2018, the
XDA will be taking the Mickey
Thompson Tires Top Sportsman
winner (5th round) and advancing
him into 6th round of Pro E.T.
to take a shot at an additional
$3,000! Now every Top Sportsman
racer has a shot at $3,000 in
Pro E.T. on Saturday, $3,000 in
Top Sportsman on Sunday, and an
additional $3,000 in Pro E.T. on
Sunday for a total of $9,000 in
just one weekend!
Jason Miller (XDA promoter)
stated, “I can think of 9,000
reasons to run the Top Sportsman
class at the XDA! The bump spot
for Top Sportsman generally
ranges in the 8.20 - 8.40 range,
but after this announcement it
is about to get even quicker in
2018. We have already heard that
many racers were stepping up to
quicker Top Sportsman bikes next
year, and this is going to
accelerate that even more. Every
single racer that buys a 2-day
Pro E.T. tech card will be
gunning to qualify for Top
Sportsman, because they have the
chance at twice the money on
Sunday if they do! Imagine this…
going 5 rounds on Sunday to win
$3,000 in Top Sportsman, and
then advancing into the money of
6th round of Pro E.T. and you
only have 2 or 3 more rounds to
go for another $3,000 to win! We
predict bump spots will get
quicker and quicker at every XDA
event, so make sure you are
preparing your bike right now to
qualify for Top Sportsman. The
Top Sportsman class is just a
bonus race for the quickest 32
Pro E.T. bikes at the event, and
everyone can get in on the
action… you just need to
qualify!”
