FARA 3 Hours of Miami

Oct 16 Homestead - FARA 3 hrs of Miami; In a Rain soaked race, the Web Safety Radical SR3 1500 driven by IMSA Lts Pilot Brian Fowler & British pro driver “speedy Dan” Clarke took 3rd place overall. Due to a technical error in qualifying, Dan Clark was gridded back of the pack for the start. When the green flag dropped, he quickly made his move thru the spray of the field and when he came around on Lap 1 he was in P1 with a 5 sec lead over the corvettes. The conditions were challenging and ranged from steady rain to downpours. The Dunlop wets were up to the challenge and pumped an impressive Rooster tail almost 12 feet in the air behind the car. The SR3 performed flawlessly thru the banked circuit at Homestead. Unfortunately, during stint 2, the rain became heavier and Brian Fowler had visibility issues in his helmet which caused two unscheduled pit stops to get Speedy back in the car. With 40 minutes to go, the rain eased up and Brian got back in the car to take it home for a podium finish. Radical East USA congratulates Brian & Dan on a solid race.
