On June 2-4, 2023, the XDA takes
Motorcycle Drag Racing to
Virginia Motorsports Park for
the 37th annual MTC Engineering
Summer Nationals.
XDA racers are ready to energize
this family-friendly event with
the country's fastest and
quickest motorcycle drag racing
action. In its sixth year under
the rule of Tommy and Judy
Franklin, VMP is like a fine
wine that gets better year after
year. With yearly facility
upgrades and new additions, the
Franklin's are building a
state-of-the-art facility that
any racer or spectator would
want to proudly call their home
track.
VMP also features an impressive
glass-like racing surface, and
along with the XDA's world-class
track prep, the combo guarantees
record-setting performances at
every event.
Orient Express
Racing Pro Street
Points Leader -
Rodney Williford
The World's fastest and quickest
street tire motorcycles will
assemble once again for the
Orient Express Pro Street class.
These 650+ horsepower
motorcycles will WOW you every
time they take to the track.
Their performance numbers always
impress as they run at speeds
over 230mph in the quarter-mile
in only 6 seconds.
Rodney Williford continues his
third year of Pro Street
domination to lead the
championship chase after a
season-opening win last month.
Williford is a skilled rider;
however, the class is full of
motorcycles that could knock him
out at any given time. He may
have his combo figured out, but
his competition is right on his
back door. His reign will end,
the question is, who will have
that honor, and will it be one
of the twenty-four bikes in next
weekend's field?
Pro Street racers are not only
competing for a championship but
also an invitation to the 27th
annual Haltech World Cup Finals
presented by Wiseco at Maryland
International Raceway on
November 1-5, 2023. Racers will
be fighting for a top-ten finish
in points for the chance to
compete in front of over 50,000
fans in November and the $5,000
payout sponsored by Platinum
General Services.
DME Racing
Real Street
Points Leader -
Courtlan Whiting
The DME Racing 7-second, 190mph
Real Street class is designed
for street‐legal sportbikes with
limited modifications and a hand
clutch. Courtlan Whiting is
holding on to the top spot in
points for the first time in his
career after taking his
first-ever Real Street win at
the season opener. That spot
will be hard for him to hold
onto with two class champions
ready to draft around him. David
Stewart and Mark Hylton sit in
the second and third spots, and
they both have plans for another
championship this season.
HTP
Performance Afterdark
Underground
Saturday Night, the HTP
Performance Afterdark
Underground program will feature
the "Running of the Bulls"
Shootouts and all the Clocks Off
racing you can handle!
The track surface will be tight
Saturday night as Jason Miller,
his #KillerMillerSpiller, and
VMP's Tyler Crossnoe along with
Jimmy Bradshaw from Sticky Mafia
doing their thing to set up
another record-breaking track
surface.
So grab your lunch money and
head out to watch our five
premier Shootout classes,
Boosted Bulls (Turbo Bikes), APE
Nitrous Bulls (Nitrous Bikes), 3
Sixty 5 Transport Monster Bulls
(Heavyweights), Tommie's
Motorsports DMV Bulls
(Up-And-Coming), and All Motor
Bulls.
MaxxECU Pro
Xtreme
Points Leader - Chris Cutsinger
Chris Cutsinger currently leads
the MaxxECU Pro Xtreme class,
featuring the World's quickest
Turbocharged, Supercharged, and
Nitrous Injected big tire
wheelie-bar motorcycles. After
making his Pro Xtreme debut with
XDA this year, international
sensation Dale Leeks sits in the
number two spot. After being
unable to make the final at the
last event due to a broken
transmission, he will be ready
to do what it takes for a win
next weekend on his turbocharged
Hayabusa.
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.
HTP
Performance Super Stock
Points Leader - Mark
Blake
Whoever has the best clutch hand
of the weekend will own the
stock wheelbase HTP Performance
Super Stock class. The class
features strict modification
rules, stock wheelbase, stock
motor, MR12 spec fuel, no air
shifters, no dataloggers, and
nowhere to hide. Mark Blake
holds the reign, but there is a
lot of talent in the class this
year, and next weekend can be
anyone's win! Patrick Cooper ran
a personal best of 8.907 and
made it to the final at the last
event. He will look for
redemption, and the winner's
circle finish next weekend on
his Gen3 Suzuki Hayabusa.
Vance & Hines
4.60
Points Leader - Darion Payne
The Vance & Hines 4.60 class is
the World's quickest 1/8th-mile
sportsman index category
featuring four-second passes in
only 660 feet. Darion Payne
leads this star-studded class,
however, next weekend, fifty
other competitors will be
looking to take that honor from
him. Brad Gleason qualified
number one at the last event but
got knocked out in the first
round; he will be one of
countless riders looking to
learn from their mistakes in
round two of this year's
five-race series.
The XDA will additionally hold
competition in SIX additional
sportsman classes featuring 1
Stop Speed 5.60 Index, Mickey
Thompson Tires Top Sportsman,
VooDoo Components Bracket Bash,
MPS Racing Pro ET, Brock's
Performance Street ET, and the
Friday night Hard Times Parts &
Service Gambler's race. XDA
offers up a professional
environment and $28,000 in
guaranteed payouts for sportsman
racers at each event.
Along with over 700 Professional
and Sportsman motorcycle racers
battling it out for over $90,000
in payouts, the MTC Summer
Nationals will feature a vast
vendor midway full of great
deals on motorcycle parts,
accessories, and apparel.
Make plans now to come out and
watch or, better yet, #racewithXDA
on June 2-4, 2023.
