Winston-Salem, NC, July 12, 2007 - The All Harley Drag Racing Association (AHDRA) is gearing up to help with fundraising efforts for the March of Dimes "Bikers For Babies" charity.

AHDRA will sanction a regional-style, one-day drag race on Sunday, September 16, at Farmington Motorsports Park in Mocksville, NC.

AHDRA will offer a selection of both Pro and Sportsman classes of competition on the eighth-mile dragstrip along with Top Fuel Nitro Harley exhibitions.

Classes of competition will include Pro Dragster, Pro Gas/Pro Stock, Pro Modified/Street Pro, V-Rod Destroyer and ET classes for both non-wheelie bar bikes and wheelie bar bikes. Nearly $10,000 in cash is up for grabs for racers in competition. A complete listing of entry fees and purse payout is available on www.ahdra.com.

In addition to racing, there will be plenty of activities at the event that will benefit the March of Dimes campaign, including live music with the Smyle Band, autograph sessions with Custom Bike Builder, Kendall Johnson, GoDaddy.com racer, Valerie Thompson, plenty of vendors, and more.

Carolina's Full Throttle Magazine will stage their annual Ride-In Bike Show at the event with trophy awards for the winners provided by Hayes Jewelers of Winston-Salem, NC.

Motorcycle enthusiasts can start the day by joining the Bikers for Babies Ride procession that will depart from Curly's Harley-Davidson, in Winston-Salem, NC, at 11:00 a.m. and arrive at Farmington Motorsports Park at 12noon. (Registration begins at 9:00am) The fee for participating in the ride procession is $30 for the rider plus a $10 fee for a passenger.
