Aaron Clark injured in crash at PPIR
MRA and UtahSBA racer and champion Aaron Clark suffered from a crash at PPIR on Friday October 10th while practicing for the upcoming final round of the MRA race season. Aaron is in the hospital in serious condition. He is accompanied by his wife Tedi, brother-in-law Scott Jensen, and other close family and friends. I am not in a position to share specifics about the crash or his condition, and will instead leave that to Tedi or Scott.
I’m Alex Kuretz, an MRA racer and friend to Aaron and Tedi. Tedi and Scott have asked me to create this site as a place to centralize communication about Aaron. As you can imagine, there are significant expenses associated with hospital care. If you wish to donate to help Aaron and Tedi, here’s how.
Aaron’s ability on a motorcycle and competitiveness on the racetrack are exceeded only by his friendship and good nature. Please keep Aaron and his family in your thoughts.

Clarkie – heal quick! We, the racing community, need you! And… you promised you’d be back to Salt Lake for the banquet.
Tedi and Scott – let me know if you need anything, even if it’s just someone to talk to at 3am. Call anytime.

Keep your heads up! Aaron we are all pulling for you. You have an AMAZINGLY huge number of people out here ready to help with whatever you need.
I’m looking for the recipe for chocolate cake shots for when you get out. You crack me up when your a little drunk dude, your accent goes all crazy like you went from New Zealand to Kentucky and just couldnt figure out which one you liked best.
Best wishes my friend, we’ll see you soon!
