Drag 965 Pro Extreme Motorcycle Ready for Turbos
* FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEDrag 965 Pro Extreme Motorcycle Ready for
TurbosPITTSBORO, 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.�??ABOUT THE PDRABased in Pittsboro,
