It’s the Daytona 500 of motorcycle drag racing!
The Mickey Thompson Tires IDBL Series must-see event at Maryland International Raceway will be the 17th annual WPGC Bike Fest on July 28-30, 2017.
The WPGC Bike Fest will feature a special Top Fuel Shootout with the quickest import and Harley motorcycles in the world battling for ultimate supremacy! The five-second, 240 MPH-plus, fire-breathing, nitro-burning machines will compete for the first ever IDBL import and Nitro Harley championship.
Also new this year is the IDBL Pro Mod championship series. The quickest nitrous-oxide fed motorcycles in the world will compete for a prestigious season title.
Back by popular demand, 600 Supersport returns to motorcycle drag racing at the WPGC Bike Fest. It’s a class that rose to popularity in the 90s and features entertaining side-by-side racing on virtually stock 600 c.c. motorcycles.
The event will also feature Orient Express Pro Street, DME Racing Real Street, Vance & Hines 4.60 index, FBR Shop 5.60 Index, Worldwide Bearings Crazy 8’s, Trac King Clutches Top Sportsman, Shinko Tires Pro ET, Lady Law Street ET and Grudge.
Winners from Street ET and Pro ET will be entered into the Tournament of Champions, where a season champion will be crowned.
The event will also host a huge vendor midway full of motorcycle parts, apparel, and accessories!
In addition to the racing, MDIR will host the famous Hot Body Bikini Contest on Sunday, plus Bikini Bartenders in the Coors Light Beer Garden!
Also be sure to check out the wild custom bike show on Sunday! If you have a bike you would like to put on display, please come join us.
