On April 23-25, the XDA will
ignite the 2021 motorcycle drag
racing season next weekend with
the 27th annual PFR Spring
Nationals at Maryland
International Raceway (MDIR).
The biggest news for this season
is that spectators are now
welcomed back to MDIR after a
year-long pause due to the
pandemic. Spectators will once
again witness over 700
Professional, Sportsman, and
Grudge motorcycle racers battle
it out for over $80,000 in cash
purse at this event.
The "Running of the Bulls" and
HTP Performance Afterdark
Underground Grudge & Pros
program returns on Saturday
night from 5pm-11pm with the
baddest Grudge racers in the
game, plus the final 2 Pro
Qualifiers! And after a hiatus,
the "Boosted Bulls" class
returns as the turbo grudge
bikes continue to gain momentum
in the grudge scene.
Saturday, we celebrate the 2020
Champions and the Top 10
finishers in each class with a
ceremony you won't want to miss.
All those in attendance will
have a chance to win $1,000 in
cash prizes courtesy of event
sponsor Platinum Fleet Repair.
The Orient Express Pro Street
class, running at speeds over
230 mph in only 6-seconds,
continues to push the
performance bar year after year.
However, last year the MPH
record sat stagnant as not one
racer could reset Ehren Litten's
massive 232.59 mph record from
2019. With winter rules changes
in effect, will the tide turn?
The XDA rules committee took
away many of the rule advantages
that the liter bikes have had in
the past, so now the liter bikes
have the same rules as the
big-bore bikes in XDA’s premier
class. Now the question is, can
the liter bikes compete with the
same rules as the Big-Bore
bikes? It will be a race for
sure in 2021! The literbike
tuners are acclimated to the
off-season rule changes and feel
prepared to open the season with
good performance numbers. While
twenty veteran racers will
present themselves for tribute,
all eyes will be on the three
newcomers. Curtis Brown, who
purchased Ehren Litten's
record-setting Suzuki Hayabusa,
has been testing regularly and
is ready for his debut. Rickey
Grayson will also debut on
another record-setting bike, the
DME Racing GSX-R1000. Chris
Connelly Jr.'s winning Hayabusa
is now owned by Joe Weindel, and
the dancing CJ Fair will be on
riding duty. Fair said the year
is going to be monumental with
BJ Humphries on tuning duty.
The action will continue in DME
Racing Real Street as all the
7-second, 190mph heavy hitters
return to action this season.
The class has lost two of its
female competitors as Alisha
Malone and Ashley Sweeney take
the year off to grow their
families. But don't worry,
Brittany Bohne will not be alone
as NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle
competitor Angie Smith will
return to her 'no-wheelie bar'
roots with her Real Street
debut. Virginia racer Diaz
Frankie will also debut next
weekend at MDIR on his Hayabusa
entry.
The 1/8 mile heads-up class of
MaxxECU Pro Xtreme returns
featuring the Turbocharged,
Supercharged, and Nitrous
Injected wheelie-bar monsters.
Dystany Spurlock, who has been a
competitive force in the 4.60
Index class, will step up her
game pulling double duty in two
eighth-mile classes as she
enters the Pro Xtreme arena for
the 2021 drag racing season.
Look out, boys!
MaxxECU Pro Xtreme is presented
by Ace Motorsports, Billy Vose
Racing, Dallas Flat Glass,
Dunigan Racing, DME Racing,
Grothus Dragbikes, Harley Haul,
Rob Bush Motorsports, Robinson
Industries, Schnitz Racing,
Timblin Chassis, and Worldwide
Bearings.
Returning for its second season
is the stock wheelbase HTP
Performance Super Stock class.
2020 Champion David Fondon will
return to defend his title
against the twenty-six racers
who will be fielding a diverse
range of off-the-showroom floor
motorcycles. Brands like,
Suzuki, Kawasaki, BMW, Honda,
and Ducati will all have
representation. This class
features strict modification
rules, stock wheelbase, stock
motor, spec fuel, no air
shifters, no dataloggers, etc,
making that clutch hand the most
valuable performance part on the
bike.
The Saturday night HTP
Performance Afterdark
Underground Grudge & Pros
program continues to expand.
2021 will feature the APE
Nitrous Bulls (Nitrous Bikes),
Boosted Bulls (Turbo Bikes), 3
Sixty 5 Transport Monster Bulls
(Heavyweights), and Tommie's
Motorsports DMV Bulls 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
Boosted Bulls class).
The Vance & Hines 1/8th-mile
4.60 class continues its
explosive growth with the
largest season-opening field in
history. A salubrious
thirty-seven motorcycles will be
on the property competing for a
spot in the thirty-two bike
field.
The XDA will also hold
competition in 1 Stop Speed 5.60
Index, Mickey Thompson Tires Top
Sportsman, MPS Pro E.T., and
Brock's Performance Street E.T.,
giving sportsman racers a place
to compete in a professional
environment. The 2021 season
will also feature the new VooDoo
Saturday Bracket Bash and the
faithful Friday Night Hard Times
Parts & Service Gambler's race.
For sportsman racers there is
$26,000 up for grabs in cash
payouts!
With over 700 racers attending
events from all across the
world, a massive vendor midway,
thousands of fans, legendary
Miller track prep, excellent
media coverage and a dedicated
team of XDA officials at the
helm, the XDA continues to be
the place for motorcycle drag
racers. Don't miss out on the
action this year.
