On August 26-28, XDA takes
Motorcycle Drag Racing back to
Virginia Motorsports Park for
the 4th annual Bike Bash.
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, making it a
must-attend event for any east
coast drag racing enthusiast.
The event features the Orient
Express Pro Street class that
run speeds over 230 mph in only
6-seconds! And on Saturday
Night, the action will be
electric as the fastest grudge
racers on the east coast will
fly down VMP's perfectly prepped
track. The HTP Performance
Afterdark Underground Grudge
Program will feature the
"Running of the Bulls" Grudge
Shootouts and all the Grudge
Racing you can handle. Even with
the scoreboards off, its clear
who is fast and who is faux
fast. Bring your dollars,
because once the action starts,
you will be picking lanes and
betting on your favorites all
night long.
Orient Express
Racing Pro Street
Class Points Leader - Rodney
Williford
The World's fastest and quickest
street tire motorcycles will
mobilize once again for the
Orient Express Pro Street class.
With a track smooth as glass,
these 650+ horsepower
motorcycles running at speeds
over 230mph in the quarter-mile
in only 6-seconds will have you
saying damn all weekend as their
performance numbers will shock
you on their DOT tires. You do
not want to miss the thrilling
racing action served up by these
all-stars next weekend.
With only two races left in the
season, the pressure will be
applied as these pro racers are
competing for a championship and
a spot to be invited to the 26th
annual Haltech World Cup Finals
presented by Wiseco at Maryland
International Raceway on
November 2-6, 2022. Racers will
be fighting for a top ten finish
in points for the chance to
compete in front of 50,000+ fans
in November. But of the ten that
qualify, only eight will compete
in the $5,000 to win Pro Street
Shootout sponsored by Platinum
General Services. Rodney
Williford, Justin Shakir, Greg
Wallace, Jason Dunigan, Darion
Payne, Gaige Herrera, James
Waugh, Curtis Brown, Ryan Hable,
and Ricky Wood are currently
qualified for WCF. Several
racers will be fighting hard to
bump into these coveted spots
this weekend, and no one will be
working harder than Jordan Haase!
Williford is leading the class
by one hundred and forty-five
points, but after taking a
semi-final round loss at the
last event, he has opened the
gate and let the wolves in.
Shakir, Wallace, Dunigan, and
Payne all have a chance at the
championship title. Williford
will have to be at the top of
his game next weekend to keep
the bloodthirsty at bay.
DME Racing
Real Street
Points Leader - David Stewart
The DME Racing 7-second, 190mph
Real Street class is designed
for street‐legal sportbikes with
limited modifications and a hand
clutch. Next weekend's XDA
Championship points chase will
heat up as Rickey Gadson and
Mark Hylton battle to climb to
that number one spot that class
champion David Stewart is
holding on to by only sixty-five
points over his competition.
Unlike Hylton, Gadson has never
held a Real Street championship
title, and he will be
laser-focused on the win lights
next weekend as he looks to put
some distance between himself
and Hylton and knock Stewart off
the top spot.
Brittany Bohne had a stellar
showing at the last race, and
she will be a formidable
obstacle in the way of these
guys earning points next weekend
if they have to line up next to
her.
MaxxECU Pro
Xtreme
Points Leader - John Collins
MaxxECU Pro Xtreme features the
World's quickest turbocharged,
nitrous injected, or injected
nitro drag bikes. This is the
quickest and fastest 1/8 mile
category in the XDA, and there
is nothing better than first to
the finish line, heads up
racing. John Collins leads the
points chase, but the class
championship is wide open and
still up for grabs for the team
working between races to show up
and put down the performance
numbers for green lights.
Procopio was the only rider to
lay down a three-second pass at
the last event, but next weekend
we expect to see these numbers
from most of the field as they
all have the horsepower under
them to produce big numbers.
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 - Darion Payne
The stock wheelbase HTP
Performance Super Stock class
features strict modification
rules, stock wheelbase, stock
motor, MR12 spec fuel, no air
shifters, no dataloggers, etc.
Darion Payne has been the class
leader all season but only holds
a minuscule six points over the
field of 4‐stroke naturally
aspirated production machines.
Mike Davis is due for a win at
this event; he has been
runner-up at the last four
events, missing wins by mere
inches!
A rule change between races has
been implemented, allowing all
liter bikes to go back down to
2" of ground clearance for all
size riders. With this change,
class representative Cecil
Towner is hoping to see more
diversity in the class next
weekend.
Vance & Hines
4.60
Points Leader - Ronald Procopio
The popular 1/8th-mile sportsman
index category of Vance & Hines
4.60 class is the World's
quickest index class and next
weekend that class will be
massive with fifty-three riders
already on the pre-race roll
call list! XDA increases this
purse as the entries go up;
based on the current pre-entry,
a $1,000 bonus will be paid out
to the winner. The first 660
feet of the Virginia Motorsports
Park will be on fire next
weekend as the championship
chase comes down to the wire.
The top ten riders in points all
have a legitimate shot at the
championship, but as the field
grows, so does the level of
competition. Every round won
will matter as the points chase
typically comes down to the last
few rounds of the season.
1 Stop Speed
5.60
Points Leader - Dustin Lee
Nick Noble will be working hard
at the 4th annual Bike Bash to
snag the 1 Stop Speed 5.60
championship points lead away
from current leader Dustin Lee
next weekend. Only four points
separate the two from the top
spot.
The top ten contenders in the
class still have a shot at the
championship, but it's not going
to be an easy path for many of
them. Only one hundred and
eighty points separate number
ten from number one. Next
weekend's event could shake up
the order, giving many racers
hope for a championship title at
the season's last event.
Mickey
Thompson Tires Top Sportsman
Points Leader - Jimmie Miller
The quickest ET bikes at the
track will be showcased in the
Mickey Thompson Top Sportsman
class next weekend. Jimmie
Miller has not taken a win this
season in the class, but his
steady stream of win lights has
earned him a nine-point lead
over the class. The chase for
the championship is wide-open at
this point; with a different
winner every event, there is no
guessing where the order will
shake out by Sunday night. The
winner of this thirty-two bike
field not only takes home a
$2,000 payout but also advances
into round five of Pro ET
competition for a chance at a
second win and a potential
$7,000 payout for the weekend.
MPS Racing Pro
ET
Points Leader - Jimmie Miller
The MPS Racing Pro ET points
leader, Jimmie Miller, is coming
off a win and looking to build
on that momentum as he leads the
point chase by a mere twenty
points. There are still a lot of
racers that can grab the
championship in this class, but
they will need to turn on a lot
of green lights next weekend to
firm up their chances before the
season comes to a close next
month back at Maryland
International Raceway.
Brock's
Performance Street ET
Points Leader - Mark Blake
The Brock's Performance Street
ET class is a tight race at the
top of the leader board, with
only twenty points separating
Mark Blake and Derrick Milbourne.
But even though they sit at the
top, the top twenty racers still
have a chance at a 2022
championship. Anyone can win on
Sunday! New racers are welcome
at all XDA events; come out and
learn how to drag race with us
next weekend!
The XDA will also hold
competition in the Saturday
VooDoo Bracket Bash and Friday
night Hard Times Parts & Service
Gambler's race giving sportsman
racers another $9,300 in payouts
to be earned over the weekend.
Load up and head out to Virginia
Motorsports Park in one week for
an exciting weekend of
motorcycle drag racing action.
This will be our last time at
VMP this season; you don't want
to miss the best motorcycle drag
racing show on the east coast.
Gates open on Friday at 8am, and
the action doesn't stop until
Sunday night!
