Atlanta, GA (Feb. 7, 2023) – The Man Cup Drag Racing Series announces its new partnership with the Ruff Ryders. The Ruff Ryders Motorcycle Organization will sponsor the Real Street Class for 2023. In addition, they will partner with the Man Cup Series on other racing-related initiatives in 2023.
The Ruff Ryders Motorcycle Club is the biggest motorcycle club in the world. After the mainstream release of Ruff Ryders Anthem by DMX feat Swizz Beatz a motorcycle revolution was started. Bike sales went up, more people wanted to ride in large numbers, and any trick performed on a sportbike was considered Ruff Ryding. After touring the country, a member of the stunt team realized that there was a following for the Ruff Ryders stunt team outside of the following for the music and artist.
"This partnership is major for the professional motorcycle world and the urban street bike culture. Growing up in NY, I had a front-row seat to the beginning of RR, and I've witnessed its global impact on music, art, and motorcycle culture. As an adult, I often wondered why this culture was never represented on a professional racing level. This partnership now changes that." Chris Harris, Vice President of the Man Cup, Continues:
"For over 5 years, Queen (Yayi Ramos) and I have spoken about doing something to bring RR to the professional drag racing world. The previous platforms weren't right for the collaboration, so we waited. Now with the Man Cup, we have a platform that helps us accomplish our goals."
Yayi Ramos (IG:@yayithequeen), affectionately known to the world as Queen, is an original member of the Ruff Ryders stunt team and the glue who kept it all together. She knows firsthand their impact on the motorcycle scene and global culture.
"The Ruff Ryders have always represented the streets, but now it's awesome to be able to represent the streets on a professional racing level. It's a natural progression to have Ruff Ryders and its culture at a place it never knew it would be accepted."
The Man Cup will also work with the Ruff Ryders Young Ryders Program and utilize our event locations to provide motorcycle drag racing instruction.
Broderick "Hollywood" Jackson, Owner of the Man Cup, states: "It's important that we utilize this platform to give back. The sport won't thrive If we don't help cultivate the new era of motorcycle drag racers."
The Man Cup kicks off its season on April 14th at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Adel, GA. Tickets are on sale now. Visit www.RaceManCup.com to learn more!
