Hillclimber Vincent Clark’s talent was evident at the first Rocky Mountain Snowmobile Hillclimb Association (RMSHA) event this season in Preston, Idaho.
Clark runs two stock and two mod classes on the hillclimb series with his arsenal of Ski-Doo equipment. At Preston, he burned down his open mod sled. Fellow Ski-Doo driver Rusty Johnson offered to loan a machine for the class. The borrowed sled was Johnson’s 800 improved stocker, which Clark used to qualify for the finals. When Clark should have been out-gunned in the Open Mod class, he shot up the competition. Johnson, also racing in the Open Mod class on his own mod machine, was on the list of drivers beat by Clark. Johnson’s response? “Yeah, but that sled is really fast.”
