The quickest stock motorcycle in Canada!

Ethan reset his own record that was set only one year ago on "Snow White". This time is was the nearly identically prepared 2010 Suzuki Hayabusa "Dorothy" who raised the bar. The cool morning air at Mission Raceway Park proved to be ideal conditions for setting records. 9.32 @ 152 mph flashed on the scoreboards. A new record by 2 hundredths. Ethan also ran another 9.32 and several 9.34-9.35's throughout the test session! Photo by Micheal Tenszen

Ethan sets the pace at Mission Raceway Park

"Eleanor" was the class of the Pro Street field at Mission Raceway Park. Ethan had a great chassis setup and was laying down power that left the other competitors scratching their heads. After qualifying was over, Ethan was atop the ladder with a 7.730 @ 187.11 mph. Almost 2 tenths over Dave Burliegh. The rest of the field still in the 8's! Ethan qualified mid-pack aboard 'Dorothy". Sunday was a rain out. Photo by Laura Millsip

Barkley races at Cold Lake Air Force Base!

Ethan was personally invited by the military to take part in the "Race the Base" event held at Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake August 27-28th. He brought his Busa's "Dorothy" and "Snow White" as well as his 500hp GSX-R1000 and made several 300+kmh passes down the 12,000ft long runway. Ethan was the only exhibition vehicle at this prestigious charity event. CF-18 fighter jets, the worlds fastest cars, and EB Speed's Suzuki's!

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 more information.

Double win in Ashcoft!

An outstanding weekend for Ethan at the CMDRA's second stop at Eagle Motorplex, Ashcroft, B.C. Ethan took the win in Pro Street and set low E.T. and top MPH of the event 7.93 /185. In the Street class Barkley was bracketing 9.50 aboard "Dorothy" and took the win. Click the image for more information. Photo by Laura Millsip

Mixed results in Edmonton

Ethan had some very solid runs in Pro Street but failed to take the win, spinning the tire hard off the starting line. He qualified second with a 7.80 @ 187 and posted Low E.T. of the event with a 7.64. Street class went poorly, only making it to the second round. Click the image for more information.

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.

Barkley on the Race City road course?

Yes you read correct, Ethan Barkley took his Suzuki Hayabusa's "Snow White" & "Dorothy" to Race City Motorsport Park and participated in a One Track Mind track night. A few pictures and a great onboard video are included in the story. Click the image for more information.

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.

Before the weekend was over, he made 3 more runs in the 7.6's. In the semi finals he posted up the fastest streetbike pass by a Canadian, 194.58 MPH! In Street he qualified 5th in the deep 22 bike feild and took the win on the '09 Busa "Snow White", bracketing a 9.55 E.T. for 5 rounds.

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
