New Canadian Stock Wheelbase E.T. Record!

Ethan Barkley runs a big number at Mission Raceway Park, B.C., August 22-23. The quarter mile E.T. record of 9.43, held by Cory Lacroix, has stood for quite some time. In years past Ethan has been very close to breaking it, running as quick as 9.44 on a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000. That all changed Saturday morning when Ethan posted a 9.390 @ 152.3. 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!
