Barkley sets new Canadian record

From EB Speed

Ethan Barkley ran a big number at BC's Mission Raceway Park Aug. 22-23.

The "stock wheelbase" quarter mile ET record of 9.43, held by Cory Lacroix, had stood for quite some time. In years past Barkley had been very close to breaking it, running as quick as 9.44 on a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000.

That all changed Saturday morning when Barkley posted a 9.390 @ 152.3 mph. Never satisfied, Barkley dropped a bomb with a 9.343 @ 152.2 during the Sunday morning test session.

Competing in the CMDRA's Mission Springs Brewing Co. Street Series, this 2009 Hayabusa nicknamed "Snow White", has only minimal mods. A Brock/Hindle exhaust system, lowered stance, Brock's Performance ultra-lite clutch mod, Dynojet Power Commander, -1 rear Vortex sprocket, BMC filter and short velocity stacks. Running on pump fuel and foot shifted, this 'Busa is a true streetbike.
