Bagger Racing League 2023

Bagger Racing League - Drag Specialties Battle of the Baggers, Pittsburgh

Bagger Racing League's 2023 season-opening Drag Specialties Battle of the Baggers race at Pittsburgh (May 6) was the largest attended race in BRL's history. Held at the Pittsburgh International Race Complex, the race, at one stage, had a two-mile long line of vehicles waiting to get in!

Featuring teams and racers from Australia, Canada and across the United States, the two-day motorcycle race festival featured a double header of Bagger Racing (Rounds 1 and 2 of the five-race 2023 BRL series) and "exciting fan experiences, on and off the track." 

Along with the racing action, there was a successful kick-off party at presenting sponsor New Castle Harley-Davidson, "Boonie" minibike races hosted by ICON Motorsports and a double-feature bike show that was hosted by Pittsburgh natives Cycle Source Magazine and Hardcore Cycles - showcasing the area's best-customized motorcycles. 

"We're excited to see the culture, competition and community of the Bagger Racing League growing at such a rapid rate," said Rob Buydos, creator of bagger racing and president of the BRL. 

"Heading into our third season, bagger racing isn't so much of a novelty sport anymore. Our goal is to always improve the scale and quality of our race events and provide everyone with an unforgettable experience. Judging by the line of vehicles and motorcycles waiting to get into this weekend's race, we appear to be on the right track." 

The race weekend also provided equal doses of drama and excitement as top bagger race teams, including defending 2022 champions Trask Performance of Arizona, Alloy Art and Feuling Parts from California, Wisconsin's Suburban Harley-Davidson, debutant Lloydz Performance, and many others, battled it out at one of the nation's most challenging road courses.  

Next Up - July 15-16 at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit, IL, another double header race weekend, followed by the season finale fifth round at the world famous Willow Springs International Raceway north of Los Angeles ("The fastest Road in the West") at Rosamond, California, on November 18-19.
