Barkley competes against the best in the business in C.F.S.B.S. in Grand Bend.

Ethan came into Grand Bend with high hopes. After posting the best time in the morning test session things looked good. After round 1 qualifying he was #1 with the only 7 second run on the property at 7.86 @ 177mph. But he couldn't better that performance as he couldn't come up with the proper tune for the track and lost in the first round.

Barkley sets new CMDRA record in Grand Bend. 7.97 b/u 7.86!

In the CMDRA portion of the Grand Bend weekend, Ethan qualified #1 with the 7.86 pass. In the first round he suffered a loss to eventual event winner Richard Peppler, but not after posting a wild 7.974 pass on one wheel! That run is now be the new benchmark for the Canadian Series.
