The biggest motorcycle event of
the year is back on July 23-25,
as the 21st annual WPGC Bike
Fest invades Maryland
International Raceway (MDIR)
located in Mechanicsville,
Maryland. And this year,
spectators are welcome!
The WPGC Bike Fest will feature
over 700 Professional,
Sportsman, and Grudge motorcycle
drag racers competing for over
$80,000 in cash purse at this
event. But this event is more
than just a drag race, the WPGC
Bike Fest has something for
everyone. Racing starts on
Friday; then the party turns up
on Saturday and Sunday with an
action-packed venue featuring
something for everyone.
Grudge Racing
Grudge Racers, this is the event
you CAN NOT miss! The biggest
grudge race of the year is being
held Saturday night on XDA's 'no
excuse' prepped track. Boosted
Bull competitors Chris Moore and
Richard Gadson have posted their
lock-in money and the race
everyone wants to see is finally
going down! Saturday night, 'Melania'
and 'Mad Dog 20/20' will pair up
for the biggest single Grudge
Race of the 2021 grudge season.
Will ‘Mad Dog’ deliver a deadly
bite to Moore, or will Moore
Mafia trump another Gadson with
‘Melania’? Either way, it's a
race you want to say you saw in
person. And XDA is helping you
get in on the action with an
on-site raffle at $10 per raffle
ticket, pick a side and share in
the payout!
The Saturday night HTP
Performance Afterdark
Underground Grudge also features
the APE Nitrous Bulls (Nitrous
Bikes), 3 Sixty 5 Transport
Monster Bulls (Heavyweights),
and Tommie's Motorsports DMV
Bulls.
Freestyle
Motocross Show
The freestyle motocross show
will feature Team FMX with shows
on both Saturday and Sunday. The
ramp-to-ramp jumps will be right
between the track and the
bleachers for everyone to see.
These high-flying daredevils
have bags full of tricks and
will be putting on a thrilling
show! If you have never seen
this type of show in person,
then you need to be here to
witness it for yourself.
Live Bands
The WPGC stage will be jamming
on Sunday with DC's hottest
bands and a live performance by
Sirius Company with WPGC's own
DJ Flexx hosting the show!
Sound
Competition and Custom Bike Show
Team Money Cycles will also be
hosting their "Speed and Sound"
Tour at this event on Saturday &
Sunday with a Sound Competition
and Custom Bike Show. These are
the wildest custom bikes you
have ever seen!
Bikini Contest
The Bikini Contest has been a
part of the WPGC Bike Fest for
over a decade and features the
hottest girls of the DMV
competing for bragging rights
and cold hard cash! Hot Girls in
Bikinis - Sunday, Sunday,
Sunday!
VIP Bike
Parking
Ride your motorcycle to the
event and get FREE Pit Side
parking in the huge street bike
corral. Ride in, be seen, and
park close to the action!
Beer Garden

The popular beer garden returns
with plenty of ice-cold beer
served by hot women in bikinis.
Grab yourself some great food
and cold refreshments and enjoy
great racing, music, bike show,
freestyle MX and bikini contest.
Need we say more?
Orient Express
Racing Pro Street
The Orient Express Pro Street
class, running at speeds over
230 mph in only 6-seconds, will
continue to push the performance
bar next weekend as the season
hits its halfway mark. So far
this season, we have seen three
new riders break the 230 MPH
barrier, and Justin Shakir took
over the 'Fastest No-Bar
Motorcycle in the World' title
with a 234.29 MPH pass.
The battle for a spot at the
25th annual Haltech World Cup
Finals presented by Wiseco at
Maryland International Raceway
will also be of concern next
weekend. Only the top ten will
be invited to compete in front
of 40,000+ fans, and a chance to
win the $5,000 Pro Street
Shootout sponsored by Platinum
General Services on November
3-7, 2021.
DME Racing
Real Street
The DME Racing Real Street
7-second, 190mph class will see
Ben Knight's return on his DAS
Performance-built ProCharger
Hayabusa. Knight's Hayabusa will
be the only supercharged entry,
and the only one that you will
need hearing protection from in
the Real Street class. Be in the
stands when they call the Pros
so you don't miss all the action
in this street legal class.
Maxx ECU Pro
Xtreme
The 1/8 mile heads-up class of
MaxxECU Pro Xtreme features the
Turbocharged, Supercharged, and
Nitrous Injected wheelie-bar
monsters. Chris Garner-Jones is
currently leading the points,
but he will need to keep an eye
on Rob Garcia. Garcia's Suzuki
was in launch mode in the final
at the last race. Many people
said he went through the finish
line carrying the front wheel,
costing him the race. Whether
that was the case or not, he is
hungry for the winner's circle
finish.
HTP
Performance Super Stock
In the stock wheelbase HTP
Performance Super Stock class,
this is the event that
competitors need to take David
Fondon out in round one. The
2020 class champion has a 162
points gap on the class with
three straight wins this season.
Riders will need to get their
clutch hands ready and start
making some moves if they want
to dethrone Fondon. HTP
Performance has laid out some
new ground clearance revisions
based on rider’s weights that go
in effect at this event, and
that is going to mix up the
competition for sure!
Vance & Hines
4.60
The Vance & Hines 1/8th-mile
4.60 class has close to forty
riders on the pre-race roll call
ready for another round of
battle. We have seen three
different winners this season,
but Ron Procopio has accumulated
the most round wins and leads
the points chase. However,
Procopio's points lead is not
enough to allow him to feel
secure. Who will be in the
points lead after the WPGC Bike
Fest, now that is something to
start betting on.
1 Stop Speed
5.60
Class champion Dustin Lee leads
the 1 Stop Speed 5.60 index
class going into the mid-season
event with sixty-five points.
Lee won the PFR Spring
Nationals, Robert Parker won the
MTC Summer Nationals, and Nick
Noble took the win at the
FuelTech Superbike Showdown. Lee
is a seasoned veteran and knows
that 'rounds won' will win the
championship every time. So
while the points battle in this
class is far from over, it's all
a numbers game now.
Mickey
Thompson Tires Top Sportsman
Mickey Thompson Performance Top
Sportsman is the quickest
bracket class of the XDA.
Jefferey Santin has won two
events to take the lead by
fifty-one points. The
championship chase is still
wide-open in this class and
Santin has everything to lose if
he doesn't stay on top. You have
to be fast and consistent in
this class, and that's no small
order.
MPS Racing Pro
ET
Yes, Jeffrey Santin is currently
leading points in two classes.
MPS Racing Pro ET has over 200
racers in the points chase right
now, and Santin only leads by
thirty points. This class is
full of serious ET racers, so it
would be surprising if Santin
isn't knocked off his perch this
weekend. Nick Hamlett, Dale
Hamilton, Bill Maturo, Dustin
Lee, Russell Dennison, Jimmie
Miller, Duane Jackson, you have
heard these names a million
times. And these are the guys
nibbling on Santin's points
lead.
Brock's
Performance Street ET
The Brock's Performance
entry-level class of Street ET
is anyone's game. If you have
never raced down the
quarter-mile, this is the class
you want to enter. For only $65
you can start a new hobby, win
some cash, and a chance for the
winner's circle glory. Derrick
Milbourne leads this class by
only one point, so the
championship is up for grabs.
Next year it could be you
leading the points. Learn more
at xdaracing.com.
Hard Times
Parts and Service Gamblers Race
The Friday night Hard Times
Parts and Service Gamblers Race
is getting an upgrade and will
now feature a sixty-four bike
bracket allowing more racers to
get into the action and making
it a $4,000 to win payout if all
64 spots are filled! Sign up
early on Friday at the track and
get a spot.
VooDoo
Saturday Bracket Bash
The VooDoo Bracket Bash held on
Saturday will add to the $26,000
up for grabs in cash payouts for
sportsman racers next weekend.
Make plans now for the WPGC Bike
Fest, where sportsman racers
have a place to compete in a
professional environment.
Vendor Midway
Also, be sure to check out the
huge vendor midway at the WPGC
Bike Fest and find all the great
deals on motorcycle parts,
accessories, and apparel. You
can meet the reps in person and
discuss their great products.

out on the action this year.
