The Xtreme Dragbike Association
(XDA) takes Motorcycle Drag
Racing to Virginia Motorsports
Park (VMP) for the 2nd Annual
MTC Engineering Bike Bash on
August 21-23, 2020 and all
spectators are welcome!
With only one event in the books
for this year, XDA racers will
have to produce peak performance
with only two events left in
this year's race season.
XDA racers will be treated to
the smoothest racing surface and
the country's best motorcycle
track prep. As always, from the
first pass down the track to the
last, the traction will be
staggering. This combo will be a
guaranteed record-setter. Come
out and join us for socially
distanced motorcycle drag racing
action!
XDA racers will be battling for
over $75,000 in cash purse at
this event, along with over
$160,000 in contingency prizes.
Racers and spectators alike will
enjoy a vendor midway full of
great deals on motorcycle parts,
accessories, and apparel.
The MTC Engineering Bike Bash
will feature the Orient Express
Pro Street class running at
speeds over 230 mph in only
6-seconds! Over 700
professional, sportsman, and
grudge motorcycle racers will
compete next weekend. Still, all
eyes will be on the event
headliner, the Inaugural DME
Racing Real Street Royal Rumble
paying $5,000 to win, and a
32-Bike Field!
DME Racing
Real Street
Class Points Leader - Ben Knight
Do you like drama? Then forget
grudge racing, come hang out in
the staging lanes with the
racers of Real Street. The smack
talking, true hand clutch
riding, Real Street racers are
always entertaining on and off
the track. The DME Racing
7-second, 190mph Real Street
motorcycles will dazzle you on
the track and keep you
entertained between events in
their Facebook group.
At the last event, Ben Knight
said he was bringing his DAS
Performance built ProCharger
Hayabusa entry to the season
opener to dominate. And his
'Shake and Bake' teammate
Spencer Claycomb allowed him to
do that by red lighting him to
the winner's circle. Will
Claycomb let this happen again?
Hell no, he has torn his bike
down to the bones and is
bringing a few more horses with
him to VMP.
With some rule changes made
after the last race, we took the
handcuffs off some of the
shorter wheelbase combos by
giving them some additional
wheelbase. So, like Claycomb,
several riders in the class will
show up to the MTC Engineering
Bike Bash with a few more
inches, because size does
matter. Now its going to be a
party!
The Royal Rumble is replacing
the 16 bike field with a massive
thirty-two bike field and an
additional payout to make this
the richest pot of the year.
Real Street racers will be
treated to a catered dinner
Saturday night (courtesy of
Ralphie Navarro) to allow the
smack talk to continue before
Sunday eliminations show who can
back up their claims.
Do not miss this dramatic class,
and witness records fall in the
biggest Real Street event of the
2020 drag racing season.
Orient Express
Pro Street
Class Points Leader - Greg
Wallace
The radical street tire
motorcycles of Orient Express
Pro Street will once again be
throwing everything they have at
the VMP 1320 next weekend. These
650+ horsepower motorcycles
running at speeds over 230mph in
the quarter-mile, in only
6-seconds, never seem to be
happy with their performance
numbers. At the last/first event
of the season these guys were
trying to throw every bit of
horsepower on the track, and to
most, it was a detriment.
This class is a special breed of
racers that have little interest
in A to B passes. While they
want to make clean passes that
win rounds, what they really
want is the loftiest number on
the board, every single time.
And right now, Orient Express
Pro Street is an apex with the
entire class running at peak
performance. It's not two or
three riders sitting at the top;
they are all at the top fighting
over the smallest increments.
Come to VMP next weekend; you
don't want to miss the
illustrious racing action served
up by these asphalt lords.
Pro Xtreme
Class Points Leader - Travis
Davis
Pro Xtreme racer Shane Eperjesi
will be looking to the MTC
Engineering Bike Bash for a
second attempt at setting the
MPH record he could not back up
at the last race. And 4.60 racer
Mike Chongris will be making his
Pro Extreme debut next weekend.
This class's excitement keeps
growing as the majority are
running low 4.0 passes and
knocking on those 3.9x ET's.
Pro Xtreme is presented by Ace
Motorsports, Billy Vose Racing,
Dunigan Racing, DME Racing,
Grothus Dragbikes, Harley Haul,
MaxxECU, Rob Bush Motorsports,
Robinson Industries, Schnitz
Racing, Timblin Chassis, and
Worldwide Bearings.
HTP
Performance Super Stock
Class Points Leader - David
Fondon
HTP Performance Super Stock
racer David Fondon from Puerto
Rico leads the new class by
twenty-four points after setting
the ET and MPH record at the
last event to 8.742 at 161.32
mph. The stock wheelbase
motorcycles with limited
modifications were a massive hit
at the Platinum Fleet Repair
Bike Fest, with all riders
running within one second of
each other.
In this class, power adders will
not get you from A to B; it's
all in the rider's hand.
Spectators will visually watch
each rider's skill as they try
and control the horsepower of
their machines off the starting
line to the 330. It really is
impressive to watch. And as this
class progresses, fans will
witness each rider's growth on
their bike as the season
continues. HTP Performance Super
Stock is a class to keep your
eye on!
Vance and
Hines 4.60
Class Points Leader - Ron
Procopio
Ron Procopio leads the Vance &
Hines 4.60 class by a mere
twenty-two points in this
1/8th-mile sportsman index
category. This class's
competitors like to keep
spectators on their toes when
betting on who will win each
battle to the 660. This class is
full of the biggest names and
fiercest competition in
motorcycle drag racing. And
despite the intense
competitiveness among racers,
this is a close-knit class. But
just like frenemies, you always
have to watch your back.
The FBR Shop
5.60
Class Points Leader - Dustin Lee
The FBR Shop 5.60 class champion
Courtlan Whiting came into the
first race looking for a win to
defend his title 2019 title.
However, a second-round loss has
him sitting fifteenth in points.
And with only two races to go,
and a plethora of heavy hitters
in front of him, he has work to
do. Dustin Lee sits at the top
of the board with a twenty-five
point lead. The 660 at VMP is
going to be a bloodbath next
weekend.
Crazy 8's
Class Points Leader - Tylan
Beckelheimer
Tylan Beckelheimer from the JTR
racing camp is on fire this
year, taking the win at our
first event and winning a ton of
rounds at other events he has
attended. He is packed up and
ready to head to Virginia next
weekend, looking for a repeat
win. Andrew Ritchey and Stephen
Knight are right behind him in
points. However, he does have a
sixty-point gap on the rest of
the field going into the MTC
Engineering Bike Bash.
Mickey
Thompson Top Sportsman
Class Points Leader - Jim
Shifflett
Our Mickey Thompson Top
Sportsman class, led by Jim
Shifflett, features the quickest
ET bikes on the property at XDA
events. Top Sportsman runs in
tandem with MPS Pro ET, allowing
the winner to win a potential
$9,000 in a weekend if they can
get lucky enough to take the
wins in both Pro ET classes as
well. Next weekend the quickest
ET riders will compete for a
coveted spot in the thirty-two
bike field.
MPS Racing Pro
ET
Class Points Leader James
Farmer
Our MPS Racing Pro ET points
leader James Farmer took his
first win of the year at the
last event, but it wasn't what
we expected. Farmer is easy to
identify on a race weekend with
his beautiful lime green wheelie
bar Hayabusa machine. But the
last event he was winning rounds
on a red Hayabusa street bike.
With the bike change-up he left
a few people doing a
double-take. Farmer proved bars
or no bars; he was going to keep
winning rounds.
Brock's
Performance Street ET
Class Points Leader Montrell
Johnson/Derrick Milbourne
The Brock's Performance Street
ET class is a tight race at the
top of the leader board with
Montrell Johnson and Derrick
Milbourne holding 131 points,
Michael McAllister 130 points,
and Laray Proctor and Tyrone
Dale trailing by an additional
ten points. Street ET runs on
both Saturday and Sunday,
allowing racers two chances to
earn points towards the
championship. New racers are
welcome at all XDA events, come
out and learn how to drag race
with us on an OEM True Hand
Clutch!
HTP
Performance Grudge
The Saturday night HTP
Performance Afterdark
Underground Grudge program will
continue to feature APE Nitrous
Bulls (Nitrous Bikes), Monster
Bulls (Heavyweights), and the
new Tommie's Motorsports DMV
Bulls (Smaller buy in) at all
events. These No-Time classes
feature very few rules and offer
Grudge racers an opportunity to
earn points for a year-end
championship (except for the new
DMV Bulls class). Grudge racing
provides a lot of fast-paced
action and excitement to bet on,
and you don't want to miss the
Saturday night program.
Additional nightly action will
include XDA Cornhole Tournaments
on Friday and Saturday nights
for a total pot of $500 per
night.
Spectators are permitted in
Virginia and can attend XDA,
