Leaving his own legacy in off-road racing.
Breaking News:
Gable Wins NORRA Again.
John Gable is a pioneer in the sport of off-road racing.
Ever since Yamaha motorcyles told John Gable's mother that he could do things on a bike "that they'd never seen before," he was off and running. For John, the running has been long and hard, and he has chosen to do his best work away from the legacy of his famous dad. Far from the glare of celebrity, John Gable has been creating a legacy of his own making. He works where the sun always shines. He races even though the dust always flies. He has raced against racing's best drivers. He wins a lot but not all the time. In the game of life, however, he wins every time because he loves the thrill of competition and simply doing what he does best. Driving fast. Driving really frickin fast. His race is way off the beaten path but John Gable has created a legacy of his own, helping develop the sport of off-road racing to one of the fastest growing competitions in the world today.
A love of racing
passed from
father to son.
Screen Legend Clark Gable was every bit the "King of Hollywood" but he also had a passion for fast cars with big engines and everyone knew it. While he was best known for his leading ladies, his own need for speed and love of racing led to his being named the Grand Marshall of the Indianapolis 500 in 1950.
John Clark Gable also found a passion for being in the driver's seat. Though he reveres his father's career and has acted himself, he soon discovered his need for speed and a love for racing. Since then, John has raced about the same number of times that his dad starred in films and he is finally at the pinnacle of his success in off-road racing.
Hollywood loved Clark Gable. Gable of course, loved acting, loved the movies but also he loved racing. The "King of Hollywood" loved racing so much he even starred in a racing film, "To Please A Lady," released by MGM Studios. The son he never met, John Clark, is carrying on his racing legacy.
