WhoBryanWas

Bryan Carnett left a mark on everyone who crossed his path. He raced this track for over a decade and became the kind of man a whole community rallies around. When we lost him, we did the only thing that felt big enough. We built him a race, and every year the cars come roaring back to the red clay to run in his name.

The Mission

The mission behind the race

Dirt tracks across California are disappearing. The Clash exists to keep cars on the clay, keep the community together, and put every dollar we raise back where it belongs.

Every shirt sold and every sponsor dollar goes back into the race and the racers.

Why we do this
Back the racers

Sponsors get their name on the event shirt and a shout-out during the race, and your support goes straight to the racers.
