A
less than perfect weekend in Medicine Hat
Ethan
qualified in the #1 spot in Pro Street and pulled off a win in
the King of the Hill on "Dorothy" but Sunday didn't
go so well. The Pro Street turbocharged GSX-R1000 stumbled off
the line in
the semi-finals resulting in a narrow loss. In the Street class
Ethan had a nuncharacteristically poor reaction time in round
3 which left him to pack up a bit early. Click the image for

An
outstanding weekend for Ethan at the CMDRA's second stop at Eagle

A
win at Race City's Saturday Night Drag's
Only
days after taking delivery of his new 2010
Suzuki Hayabusa "Dorothy" , Ethan was making
runs at the local dragstrip! First was some shakedown passes
at the Street Legal event Friday July 2nd. Then it was back down
the very next night for a C.D.R.A. bracket race under the lights.
Consistent passes landed Ethan in the winners circle.

Highs
and Lows at Race 1 in Ascroft B.C.
The
tricky surface of Ashcroft's Eagle Motorplex proved too much
to tame for Ethan in Pro Street. He was either pulling huge wheelies
or spinning the tire. Qualifying third with an 8.15 E.T. and
losing in the semi-finals were not the results he was looking
for. In Street Ethan was aboard "Snow White" for
one last time. Qualifying #1 and running within a few hundredths
of a second to his 9.60 dial in all day landed him in the winners
circle yet again.

Barkley,
now the Fastest in Canada!
On
September 13th, 2009 Ethan Barkley became the fastest Canadian
in history on a Pro Street Bike. Ethan was gunning for the record
while competing at the CMDRA finals at Castrol Raceway near Edmonton.
He staged his 500HP '06 Suzuki GSX-R1000 in the semi finals
of the RCC Turbo’s Pro Street Series last month for what
would be a history making pass. The run was smooth, and the bike
tracked straight down the track. The scoreboards flashed, 7.653
@ 194.59 mph! Photo by Laura Barkley
