Clark Family Racing

Night 6 recap - We tried something a little different looking for more speed. First practice, the car was good. Second quickest. Second practice it was about the same, but some other cars picked up. The car was slow in the heat race. It wouldn't take off, and was sluggish. He finished 3rd. We went over a bunch of things, and thought we had the issue sorted out. We found a few small problems and fixed them. However, the car was just very sluggish for the feature, dropping back to a 7th place finish. Ryan says "it just won't go!!" Looks like lots of work ahead this week for me in the shop!

Night 5 was an interesting one. Ryan was just "ok" in first practice. We made a change for second practice and made the car uncomfortable. We were battling a lot of wind, which really affects these little machines. We undid the changes, and he had a great heat race with a solid p2 finish behind Blake Watson. He had an amazing feature, nailing his restarts that he's been working so hard to improve. He stayed in the hunt in the top 3, eventually taking the lead on a restart. He led a handful of laps when a caution came out with 3 to go. The final restart had some cars in the wrong order (which the track is reviewing) and he ended up 4th. So proud of the boy. Thanks Hello Beautiful Distribution & Sales Inc. for your support! We'll try again next time for that first feature win

Ryan had a fantastic night for night 4! Practice was ok running 15.7-15.8. Definitely off a little, but nearly everyone was. Ryan made a wicked 3 wide pass on the outside on the first lap of the heat race, took the lead, and never looked back. 🏁🏁 For the heat race! The feature was overall a very eventful one with a neverending lap 10. They finally settled in to finish, and he pulled out another 3rd place feature with a best lap of 15.55. Thanks to Hello Beautiful Distribution & Sales Inc. and Gulf fuels Canada for their ongoing support!

Another solid night overall for the boy. 2nd and 3rd quick in practice. Had a solid 2nd place heat race finish, with an attempted pass for the lead. The feature had him starting 3rd. A few laps in, he got a little too high, wide and handsome... Got into the marbles and we thought he was going to knock down the turn 2 wall. He made an incredible save, and recovery, but lost a lot of spots. He drove his butt off, being the fastest on track for many laps. He battled back up to 5th place finish.

It was a huge success at the car show yesterday! We put a ton of kids in the race car. Ryan handed out autographed pictures and Grand Bend Speedway and Go Kart Centre schedules/info sheets! There was so much interest in the car!! Come see him race tonight - heat races at 645 and main event at 8pm. Happy Father's Day weekend!

Come out to Strathroy's Hometown Festivals car show and come say Hi to Ryan!!!!
