Dystany’s passion for speed started at the early age of 6, riding on the back of a motorcycle with her mom and dad. But 6 years later, while attending a drag race with her godfather, she realized what she wanted to do.

​

Her life would be altered at 12 when she attended a drag race at Virginia Motorsports Park with her godfather. Something about the sound of the bikes speeding on the asphalt positively triggered her, and she kept going back. Quickly taking note of her daughter’s activities, her mother purchased her a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R 750. Three months later, she broke the record on the Brocks BMW Performance Center bike by traveling the quarter-mile in 8.46 seconds at 163 mph.

​

Dystany is also the fastest woman on a BMW s1000rr in Curacao with a time of 8.57 seconds, and in 2018 she was inducted into the Hopkins BMW Museum. In 2019, she made history by becoming the first woman to win a 4.60 index final at the South Georgia Motorsports Park and has made several final round appearances since then.

​

Dystany makes her own rules, sets her own goals, and at a young age, serves as a role model for women of all ages. As she pushes to accomplish her dream of racing professionally in NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle, her fan base continues to build, as does her enthusiasm for life – behind and beyond the driver’s seat.

Richard Gadson, born March 8, 1986 in Philadelphia, knew from an early age that drag bike racing was what he was meant for. The five-time champion and national record setter’s love and passion for the sport, coupled with his unique determination, has guided Richard on his professional journey that in 2019 produced his most successful season yet. 

 

Richard wrapped up 2019 with three event wins and seven runner-up finishes in the Xtreme Dragbike Association (XDA), but it was the season finale at the 27th annual DME Racing Fall Nationals at Maryland International Raceway that solidified his dominance. In the Pro Street Battle Royale, on the back of Brad Mummert’s nitrous oxide 1980 Suzuki GS 1100, Richard laid down a career-best run of 6.403-seconds at 221 mph. It was not only the second quickest run in the history of the Pro Street category but earned him the race victory over 2019 Orient Express Pro Street series champion Jeremy Teasley. 

 

On the same day, Richard raced his way to a second winner’s circle in the Mickey Thompson Performance Top Sportsman category racing a Suzuki Hayabusa Nitrous bike. In the process, he defeated 2019 series champion Robin Procopio and took out the quickest bike in the category ridden by Kevin Manchester in the final. 

 

Richard followed up a career year with two race wins, a runner-up finish, and a semifinal appearance for the 2020 NHDRO Super Stock championship, the fifth title of his career. 

 

His first season in the AMA/Prostar series (later known as AMA/Dragbike and then XDA), Richard earned the 2003 Rookie of the Year award and in just his second professional season, picked up his first win at the St. Louis Nationals at World Wide Technologies Raceway (previously Gateway International Raceway) in Madison, Illinois.

In 2015, Richard doubled up on the Fasttime Motorsports Suzuki with a NHDRO Pro Comp Championship and Manufacturer’s Cup (ManCup) Championship. His fourth championship came in 2018 in the XDA Vance & Hines 4.60 Index.
