Praying for Clarkie

Just last Sunday Aaron Clark won our club championship for the second year in a row. He's a great racer and has always been very friendly to me. Just a couple of days ago he gave me great compliments on my photography and ordered a disc of my photos.

Yesterday he was involved in a serious accident at Pikes Peak Raceway in Colorado, apparently tucking the front at very high speed and hitting a wall: UtahSBA Champion Aaron Clark Injured In Crash During MRA Race At Reopened PPIR News Article // RoadracingWorld.com. We're certainly praying for a speedy and full recovery for our friend Clarkie.

Wow, he had to have CPR at the track according to the report... that must have been one bad spill. Hope he recovers.

Damn... Clarkie is a steady guru when it comes to all things Aprilia... I know I have been better off from his advice.

Here's to hoping he comes back stronger than before!!
