On April 22-24, the XDA racers
will launch hard into the 2022
motorcycle drag racing season
with the 28th annual Platinum
General Services Spring
Nationals at Maryland
International Raceway (MIR),
located in Mechanicsville,
Maryland.
With a pandemic behind us and
the Spring weather coming to
bloom, the XDA racers are eager
to get back to racing and give
the fans a show that will keep
them glued to their seats.
The 2022 XDA season is going to
be absolute fire with 6-second,
230+mph Pro Street Motorcycles,
7-second, 190mph Real Street
bikes, 3-second 1/8 mile Pro
Xtreme class, lethal clutch hand
Super Stock, the "Running of the
Bulls" Grudge Shootouts, and
700+ Sportsman motorcycle racers
competing for over $500,000 in
season cash purse and $130,000
in season contingency!
Saturday night the starting line
will be bussin' with the HTP
Performance Afterdark
Underground Grudge Program. This
season the Boosted Bulls (Turbo
Bikes) return as a championship
points class to join APE Nitrous
Bulls (Nitrous Bikes), 3 Sixty 5
Transport Monster Bulls
(Heavyweights), and Tommie's
Motorsports DMV Bulls. With
legitimate grudge racers looking
for a well-prepped track to show
off their horsepower and make
that paper, XDA's on-point track
prep can't be beat with the #KillerMillerSpiller.
The baddest street tire
motorcycles in the world can
only be seen at XDA events. The
650+ horsepower motorcycles of
Orient Express Pro Street
feature turbocharged,
supercharged, and nitrous
injected motorcycles running at
speeds over 230mph in the 1/4
mile in just 6-seconds! Aruba
will be represented at the
season opener, with Jayson
Geerman making the commute for
his first XDA event. Class
newcomers Blake Sanders and
Ronnie Trainham will also be
making their first Pro Street
appearances as they look to take
on the veterans of a class that
holds an ET record of 6.346 and
a MPH record of 236.05! Make
plans to come out and watch
these gladiators dominate the
quarter mile at speeds that
can't be seen anywhere else.
DME Racing Real Street will be
serving up 7-second, 190mph
passes with a bit of drama mixed
in for exciting action on and
off the track. Drae Taylor will
be moving from Super Stock to
Real Street for some quicker
action this season. Stand out
land speed racer, who holds a
one mile 277.9 mph record, Shane
Stubbs will be in the mix this
season with teammate Ralphie
Navarro. And former Michigan
running back Ty Issac will also
be making his XDA Real Street
debut to add to the Real Street
stable of talent.
The eighth-mile heads-up class
of MaxxECU Pro Xtreme features
Turbocharged, Supercharged, and
Nitrous Injected wheelie-bar
monsters. Chris Theodoridis will
be pulling double duty in the
pro ranks running in Pro Street
and then switching gears to jump
on an entirely different
performance stage with these
wheelie-bar monsters. Class
veterans Rob Garcia, Chris
Cutsinger, John Collins, Kevin
Clarke, Terry Schweigert, and
Tommy Saxon will be back for
2022 as they look for a
championship season.
MaxxECU Pro Xtreme is presented
by Billy Vose Racing, Fast by
Gast, Dunigan Racing, DME
Racing, Grothus Dragbikes,
Harley Haul, Rob Bush
Motorsports, Robinson
Industries, Schnitz Racing,
Timblin Chassis, and Worldwide
Bearings.
The stock wheelbase HTP
Performance Super Stock class is
returning for its third season.
Two-time Champion David Fondon
will NOT be returning, as the
GOAT has been retired in Super
Stock per HTP’s new rules. HTP’s
new rules state that champions
only have the following season
to defend their title before
they have to move up to a pro
class. The clutch hand racing
will be fierce this season as
these stock wheelbase riders
will be looking to take over the
empty throne.
Vance & Hines 4.60 is the
quickest eighth-mile index
category in motorcycle drag
racing. With only 660 feet to
turn on the win light, riders
must be deadly accurate as the
bulbs drop on the four-tenths
pro tree. For the past two
years, Ron Procopio has held
back-to-back championships. But
these championships were no easy
feat as they came down to the
last few passes of each season
finale. This index category
attracts some of the biggest
names in motorcycle drag racing,
and they even make qualifying
exciting as they go hard every
pass. It will be a stunning feat
if Ron Procopio can become a 3x
Champion in this class. Come out
and watch the action next
weekend at MIR.
The XDA will also hold
competition in the 1 Stop Speed
5.60 Index, Mickey Thompson
Tires Top Sportsman, MPS Racing
Pro ET, and Brock's Performance
Street ET, giving sportsman
racers a place to compete in a
professional environment. The
2022 season will also continue
to feature the Saturday VooDoo
Bracket Bash and the faithful
Friday Night Hard Times Parts &
Service Gambler's race. There is
$28,000 up for grabs in cash
payouts for sportsman racers at
each event!
The 2021 XDA Awards Ceremony
will be held on Saturday, April
23 at 3:30pm on the main stage
during the Platinum General
Services Spring Nationals at
Maryland International Raceway!
We will celebrate the 2021 XDA

their Bonus Check and Gold Card
