McKinney admits that his team’s incredible success in recent years may have hurt the class during stints in which either McKinney or teammate Ashley Owens was consistently taking home the trophy, but is happy to see the competition gains made by the class as a whole and believes PXM will continue to grow stronger and provide PDRA fans with great side-by-side runs.Īs he prepares to defend his championship for the second year in a row, McKinney is continually pushing the envelop of his own program in which he and Owens will return as a two bike team. I think people are starting to do their homework now. To be the top dog in this sport you have to put the work in. Racing is a good time to hang out with all your friends, but we’re there for one reason: to win races. We don’t have anything special that anybody else doesn’t have. It’s discouraging, but it makes you want to work harder if you really want to be a champion. “When I first started racing I got beat second round for the first two years. It’s tightened up and it’s going to make for some good racing. I think everybody will have to run high 3s to win races this year. “We set the record in Dallas with a 3.99 at the beginning of the year. “I think in 2016 everybody’s going to have to be running bottom 4.0s,” predicted McKinney. The competition of PXM is heating up, promising an exciting 2016 season. McKinney himself only qualified 7th in the 16 bike field, and the top 12 qualifiers ran a 4.10 or better. While McKinney and his teammate Ashley Owens have seemingly had a hand up on the rest of the class in recent years, results from the final event of the 2015 PDRA season prove that there is parity in the field once again.
It’s the best thing going right now for motorcycle drag racing.”

It’s hard for some of those guys to make the western races, but anybody that can run Pro Extreme Motorcycle should support this. “Most of the motorcycles are up and down the east coast. I’ve raced with a bunch of organizations in my day and this is by the far the best organization I’ve ever raced in. “It’s about as top notch organization as you can race for. “The PDRA has been the best thing that’s happened for our class,” stated the Champ. He has seen the class both struggle and soar, and, according to McKinney, the future of PXM is brighter than ever. There is little he has not done within this arena.
