On June 18-20,
XDA heads back to Maryland
International Raceway located in
Mechanicsville, Maryland for the
4th annual FuelTech Superbike
Showdown!
This event features the Orient
Express Pro Street class running
at speeds over 230 mph in only
6-seconds! Over 90 Professional
riders, plus another 700+
Sportsman, and Grudge motorcycle
racers will compete for over
$80,000 in cash purse at this
event.
This season XDA will payout over
$560,000, YES that is correct,
over half a million dollars in
purse money, along with a
$130,000 contingency fund that
spans all classes.
Orient Express
Racing Pro Street
Points Leader -
Rodney Williford
Rodney Williford is cooking with
Orient Express Racing Pro Street
taking back-to-back wins at the
first two events. Everyone is in
the danger zone as Williford
holds an eighty-four-point lead
that he will not lose his grip
on without a fight. With a 6.497
pass in the finals at the MTC
Engineering Summer Nationals, he
has the full package to stay on
top.
Doug Witt will return to action
next weekend after a two-year
hiatus with his revamped,
fuel-injected, nitrous-assisted
Hayabusa entry. And Mark
Gargiulo swears he will be on
the property with his latest
build ready for action.
The battle for a spot at the
25th annual Haltech World Cup
Finals presented by Wiseco at
Maryland International Raceway
starts to heat up next weekend
too. Racers need to participate
at a minimum of four events and
take a top ten finish in points
for the chance to compete in
front of 40,000+ fans and win
the $5,000 Pro Street Shootout
sponsored by Platinum General
Services on November 3-7, 2021.
Keep your eye on the MPH's next
weekend, as we have several
racers on the cusp of officially
breaking the 232.59 mph record.
DME Racing
Real Street
Points Leader - Mark Hylton
DME Racing Real Street has a tie
right now for the points lead,
with Mark Hylton and Jeremy
Teasley sharing a minuscule
five-point lead over the class.
Class champion Brandon Teasley
is on their heels with David
Stewart and recent winner Joey
Gladstone rolling right behind.
Next weekend Trevor Schnitz will
be putting Gladstone out of work
as he returns to make his debut
on the HTP Performance all motor
Suzuki GSX-R1000, for real this
time! You will also need to keep
your eye on class champion
Spencer Claycomb as his early
exit at the last weekend has
only given him more fuel for the
fire of a comeback.
HTP
Performance Super Stock
Points Leader - David Fondon
The HTP Performance Super Stock
champion David Fondon is looking
for back-to-back championships
this season. With two races
down, he already has a
ninety-four-point lead over his
fellow hand clutch competitors.
Mike Davis, Zachary Applegate,
Jyrec Givens, and Derek Sobiech
need to step up their game and
knock Fondon out in an
early-round if they want to
close that gap before we reach
the mid-season mark.
MaxxECU Pro
Xtreme
Points Leader - Chris
Garner-Jones
Chris Garner-Jones came out of
the gate this season hard,
breaking the class record with
3.897, winning the season
opener, and leading the MaxxECU
Pro Xtreme points. However, his
lead is only one round of
points, and his competitors have
the horsepower to run him down.
Next weekend we will see if they
can put it together to knock him
off the throne.
MaxxECU Pro Xtreme is presented
by Ace Mechanical, 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.
HTP
Performance Grudge
The HTP Performance Grudge
racers are turning out in high
numbers and the competition has
never been more exciting! With
the best-prepped racing surface
that these grudge racers have
ever seen, the speeds are insane
to watch. Even with the boards
off, you know who is hauling ass
and just faking it until they
make it.
In APE Nitrous Bulls, Russell
Dennison on 'Jimmy Hendrix' is
leading the points. Dave Martin
on 'Unknown' is fighting off the
3 Sixty 5 Transport Monster
Bulls competitors to stay on
top. And Chris Edwards on 'Hulk
Smash' has seen two finals and
leads the points in Tommie's
Motorsports DMV Bulls.
The race everyone wants to see
in Boosted Bulls is Richard
Gadson on 'Mad Dog 20/20' vs.
Chris Moore on 'Melania'. Bad
News is it's not going down next
weekend, but the good news is
that it's already locked in to
go down on July 23-25 at the
WPGC Bike Fest at MDIR. It is
going to happen; whose lane will
you be standing in when it goes
down? It's time to find out who
has the Baddest Bull in the
country. Lights, Camera, Action.
Let's race.
Vance & Hines
4.60
Points Leader -
Ronald Procopio
Sponsored by Vance & Hines, XDA
features the largest eighth-mile
index class in the world, and
the FuelTech Superbike Showdown
already has thirty-eight riders
locked and loaded for next
weekend.
Ronald Procopio leads this
hardened class of competitors by
one round of points. And with
the ferocious level of
competition, we predict a new
points leader after next
weekend. No one has ever run
away with the points lead in
this class, and the battle will
rage on until the DME Racing
Fall Nationals in October.
1 Stop Speed
5.60
Points Leader -
Dustin Lee
The 1 Stop Speed 5.60 Champion
Dustin Lee holds onto his title
so far this season with a
sixty-five point lead in the
eighth-mile class. This class is
full of veteran heavy-hitters
and the action is intense at
every event!
Mickey
Thompson Tires Top Sportsman
Points Leader -
Jeffery Santin
In Mickey Thompson Tires Top
Sportsman, Jeffery Santin has
back-to-back wins giving him a
significant lead of fifty-two
points over the class. An
early-round loss for Santin next
weekend will open the door for
his competitors to gnaw away his
points.
MPS Racing Pro
ET
Points Leader -
Jimmie Miller III
Jimmie Miller is no stranger to
starting out the season as the
MPS Racing Pro ET points leader.
He will go into the third of
seven events with a mere nine
points over Nick Hamlett. But
the season is just starting, and
Miller can't lose a round if he
wants to stay on top.
Brock's
Performance Street ET
Points Leader - Louis
Green Jr
Brock's Performance Street ET
racer Louis Green Jr. took a
runner-up finish at the last
event and now leads the points
chase. With hundreds of
competitors in the lanes, this
points lead will not be easy to
hold on to.
While the pros prepare for
Friday Night Qualifying,
thirty-two of the best sportsman
racers compete in the Hard Times
Parts & Service Gamblers Race.
On Saturday, XDA sportsman
racers compete in the Voodoo
Custom Motorcycle Components
Bracket Bash. Combine that with
Sunday MPS Pro ET and Brock's
Performance Street ET, big money
is up for grabs at each and
every XDA event.
Saturday from 5pm-11pm, you
don't want to miss the HTP
Performance Afterdark
Underground with Grudge Racing,
Running of the Bulls and more
Pro Qualifying action! And don't
forget the vendor midway will be
full of great deals on
motorcycle parts, accessories
and apparel.
Spectators are welcome, and we
are looking forward to record
performances with eighty-degree
temperatures on deck. So, get
your motorcycle buttoned up and
roll out for another competitive
round of XDA at Maryland
International Raceway on June
18-20, 2021.
