On May 20-22, XDA takes
Motorcycle Drag Racing back to
Virginia Motorsports Park for
the 36th annual MTC Engineering
Summer Nationals.
XDA offers a quality show with
over 700 professional,
sportsman, and grudge motorcycle
drag racers in competition. This
season XDA will payout over
$500,000 in purse money and a
$130,000 contingency fund that
spans all classes. This event
alone will pay out over $80,000
in cash purse to the best
showcase of racers the country
has to offer.
With the combined efforts of
Jason Miller's and Tyler
Crossnoe’s track prep on VMP's
billiard table smooth racing
surface, racers will continue to
reap the benefits of the
best-prepped racing surface with
the XDA series.
With a great track surface, the
east coast's grudge drag racers
will be able to put down the
fastest passes you will see in
the grudge scene. XDA's elite
Running of the Bulls Saturday
night grudge event features
Boosted Bulls (Turbo Bikes), APE
Nitrous Bulls (Nitrous Bikes), 3
Sixty 5 Transport Monster Bulls
(Heavyweights), and Tommie's
Motorsports DMV Bulls. And at
XDA these racers need to be on
point because the schedule is
set and the track is on point,
NO EXCUSES. Along with the
Running of the Bulls, Saturday
night action also includes the
HTP Performance Afterdark
Underground Grudge Racing class
and Pro Qualifiers!
And when we say Pros, that
includes the Orient Express Pro
Street motorcycles. These are
the baddest street tire
motorcycles in the world that
can only be seen at XDA events.
The 650+ horsepower motorcycles
feature turbocharged,
supercharged, and nitrous
injected motorcycles running at
speeds over 230mph in the 1/4
mile in just 6-seconds!
Champion Rodney Williford
grabbed the reigns at the season
opener and looks to be
comfortably in control of the
top spot. But the MTC Summer
Nationals already has an
additional eighteen riders on
the roll call ready to knock him
off his thoroughbred. With a
great weather forecast for the
event, make your plans to be in
the stands to watch these guys
do the unthinkable on street
tires.
DME Racing Real Steet has a new
sheriff at the top of the
leaderboard, with Ben Knight
making a domination appearance
on the Ralphie Navarro all-motor
Hayabusa. Class champions David
Stewart and Mark Hylton had a
few bumps in the first race, but
they are ready for a shootout on
the quarter-mile next weekend.
Mid-west racer Chris Cutsinger
is leading the MaxxECU Pro
Xtreme class championship chase
after an opening-round win and
blazing 3.99 pass in the finals.
After finishing a race on top he
will be eager to throw some more
three-second passes on the
scoreboards next weekend at VMP.
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.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, the HTP
Performance Super Stock class is
wide open for a new champion
this season. Darion Payne is
leading this class of stock
wheelbase, clutch hand racers by
twenty points. This class
features strict modification
rules, stock wheelbase, stock
motor, MR12 spec fuel, no air
shifters, no dataloggers, etc.
So if you enjoy a riders class,
these guys and gals will give
you a show.
The 1/8th-mile killers of the
Vance & Hines 4.60 continue to
show out as these remarkable
machines can put down consistent
numbers while their pilots are
cutting the best lights over all
the classes at every event. With
full 32-bike fields at every
event, the riders of our
quickest index category must
make a calculated play for the
win light with only 660 feet of
asphalt to work with. Veteran
Michael Ostrowski comes into the
MTC Engineering Summer Nationals
as the points leader, but will
he remain there after all is
said and done Sunday night with
a hungry contingent of riders
nipping at his heels?
The Mickey Thompson Tires Top
Sportsman class features the
quickest bracket bikes in the
country! The 32-bike qualified
field runs on a .500 full tree
and will see bikes running ET's
from the low 7's to the low 8's.
Hank Lovett owns the title of
points leader, but with the
competitiveness of this class,
we are betting a new points
leader will emerge next weekend.
The 1 Stop Speed 5.60 index
class features wheelie bar drag
bikes and street bikes on an
even playing field, and the
action is nonstop in this class.
The competition is intense as
these races run on a .400 pro
tree and only have 660 feet in
the 1/8 mile to get their job
done. Nick Noble, who has been
on a winning streak across
multiple sanctions, leads this
class with Juan George and
Carson Fields hot on his trail.
MPS Racing Pro ET is the biggest
class at every XDA event. And
winning this class is no small
feat, with over a hundred
entries at every event. Champion
Dustin Lee holds on to the lead
by a mere eleven points with a
slew of racers only a notch
behind. The action will be
abundant on Sunday afternoon as
these racers start to eliminate
each other for a chance at
$5,000 cash and, more
importantly, moving up the
leaderboard.
The Brock's Performance Street
ET sportsman class is for street
legal motorcycles only and is
great for new riders looking to
get into the sport. This is a
grassroots class and the best
place for anyone wanting to get
into drag racing to start. We
encourage anyone who has been
thinking about racing to come
out to an XDA event and make
your first competition pass down
the best-prepped track in the
county.
And the opportunities don’t stop
there for sportsman racers, with
the Friday night Hard Times
Parts & Service Gambler's race
and the Saturday VooDoo Bracket
Bash, there is plenty on track
action for the backbone racers
of our sport.
With over 700 of the best
motorcycle drag racers from
across the world, a massive
vendor midway, thousands of
enthusiastic fans, legendary
track prep, top-notch media
coverage, a dedicated team of
XDA officials and excellent
track partners; the XDA
continues to raise the bar as
the measuring stick of
motorcycle drag racing. You
don't want to miss any of the
exciting action this season.
