Dystany Spurlock
Professional Racer
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.

Jordan Rand
Professional Racer
Stepping off the Paris catwalk and onto an Harley-Davidson LiveWire is all in a day’s work for the American athlete-turned-model. Jordan Rand has been modelling for the past five years and has recently shot a global campaign for a major car manufacturer’s new electric vehicle.
As an environmental campaigner, she’s also planning to sell her Ducati in favor of an electric bike. Jordan grew up in Colorado Springs, studied psychology in Manhattan and her modelling has taken her to London and now Paris. But her passion for sport developed at school, where she would regularly set an alarm for 4am to practice figure skating before classes started.
With no scholarships for skating at college, Rand switched to track and field and while successful, admits that athletics didn’t fulfil the same passion — that’s when she decided to start riding motorbikes. For nearly a decade she has attended sessions at the California Superbike School in LA, but never committed to a racing career because she has been focused on her modelling career.
Jordan’s first competitive sport since college will be the eSkootr Championship, something she describes as “really cool and badass”. She adds that she is striving to raise awareness for diversity, inclusion, equality and sustainability and is excited by both the accessibility and the gender equality of eSC. “I want to advocate for women, people of colour and, as I’m bisexual, I’m going to race with a rainbow flag on my helmet to advocate for LBGTQ+.”
