It has continued to rain this afternoon at Memphis Motorsports Park, with few riders braving the tricky dragstrip-and-return-roads course during practice for this weekend’s WERA National Endurance Series and National Challenge Series races.

Riders are routed through the drag-strip staging lanes, turn sharply onto the dragstrip, and then must stay within four or five feet of the near wall to avoid the ultra-slippery rubber built-up on the drag strip.

Among the few brave men currently on track is Shane Clarke, who is in the process of making his return to road racing after nearly a season off working as a race mechanic and engine builder.

Clarke is riding a GSX-R1000 carrying number 119.
