Drag 965
Pro Extreme Motorcycle Ready for Turbos
PITTSBORO, N.C. (February 26, 2018): The upcoming season
of Drag 965 Pro Extreme Motorcycle will arguably be the
most exciting in class history. For the first time,
turbocharged applications will compete alongside the
nitrous mainstays. Primary backer for the class, Drag 965,
will usher PXM into this new era, continuing their
multi-year sponsorship of the class.
Drag 965 will also back PXM teams like reigning champ,
Travis Davis. The organization, led by Sheikh Mohammad
Khaled Al-Sabah, has done a lot of good in the sport,
backing teams, classes and series purely for the love of
drag racing.
When the first event, the PDRA East Coast Spring
Nationals, kicks off at GALOT Motorsports Park in April,
turbocharged bikes will compete in Drag 965 Pro Extreme
Motorcycle for the first time. Although there is some
expected controversy over adding a new powersource, the
PDRA looks for this to strengthen the class, bring in new
competitors, and provide an added level of competition.
Davis said his own father may run a turbo bike at select
events this season. A host of other teams have expressed
interest in bringing their turbos to PXM.
Timblin Chassis is coming back again this year as the Low
Qualifier Award sponsor for PXM. Every number one
qualifier will get a $300 gift certificate to Timblin
Chassis. Other class supporters include Grothus Drag
Bikes, Fast by Gast, D.M.E. Racing, Robinson Industries
and Williford Racing.
“We’re excited about this season of Pro Extreme Motorcycle
for many reasons,” stated PDRA Director of Marketing, Will
Smith. “The new dynamic with turbos will give the class
increased variety and new blood. It will be fun to watch
how they compete against nitrous entries. We are deeply
grateful for Drag 965’s continued support, as well as
Timblin Chassis and the other class supporters. It’s going
to be a great season at the PDRA and we are looking
forward to kicking things off in April.” |
