Winners sometimes start a race weekend deep down a dark hole of destruction, and that was the case for Terry “Milkman” Schweigert. The Canadian dairy farmer was recently riding at the familiar confines of Rockingham Dragway for the XDA Superbike Showdown, expecting a big weekend in the MaxxECU Pro Extreme…
No Power-Adder, No Problem for Knight and Navarro
Ben Knight and Eric Paquette built a ProCharged DME Real Street Suzuki Hayabusa for the 2020 XDA season, but got a debilitating rules change slapped on them after winning the first race. The experience left a bitter taste in Knight’s mouth, and he downshifted back into sportsman racing. Or so…
Boo Brown on 4.60 and John Hall’s New Bike
Longtime Eatmyink readers will remember “Boo Brown’s Racing Tips,” something I used to end my Boo Brown interviews with after each of his many wins back in the MIRock/IDBL days. So with the man himself winning FoSixty (AKA 4.60) at the Platinum Fleet Repair Spring Nationals XDA opener at Maryland…
Zero to 3.93 in Two Events: Chongris Wins at XDA
Veteran Ohio motorcycle drag racer Mike Chongris made winning and setting records look easy this past weekend at XDA’s DME Racing Fall Nationals at Maryland International Raceway. It was only the second event for Chongris’ turbocharged Suzuki GS, and only the second time Chongris has raced in the all-out, wheelie…
From Dead-On to Balls-out: Brandon Teasley’s Path to Real Street Winner
It used to be easy to classify the Teasley brothers. Brandon was the oldest, the heaviest, and a dead-on bracket racer. Jeremy was younger, svelte, and a deadly out-the-door racer. And Cameron—well, Cameron was the deadly funny jester. But now they’re just crazy mixed up. They’re all (even Cameron) family…

Anibal, Devin Deliver 7.50s Real Street Pain
Devin Ragland, known as “Devin Doe” on Facebook and seen on his Real Street bike above, is never shy with his words or predictions. After getting his first DME Real Street win last weekend at the Xtreme Dragbike Association (XDA)’s Inaugural Bike Bash at Virginia Motorsports Park, Ragland already sounds…
2 Fan Fave Bikes for Lil’ Richard at Bike Fest
Richard Gadson is just plain spoiled. Not only does he get to ride Brad Mummert’s fan favorite Old School Suzuki GS nitrous Orient Express Pro Street bike, but he also gets to ride—and win—on James “Hot Rod” Johnson’s “Crusher.” Gadson rode “Crusher” to the Vance & Hines 4.60 win at…
DME, Teasley on Top as Pro Street Unchained
Orient Express Racing Pro Street records fell again this past weekend as hard work, exploiting the advantages of racing a 1000cc bike, new tires, and relatively recent rule changes continue to revolutionize the class—to the delight of some and the discouragement of others. At the beginning of this season, riders…
Haase Has It in Virginia!
Orient Express Pro Street racer Jordan Haase saw his best performance of the 2018 XDA season as runner-up to teammate Rodney Williford at Virginia Motorsports Park.
