| Re: barber here i come!!!! Me and my bro. are planning to hit Barber the 1st weekend of October with www.sportbiketracktime.com
We've only done trackdays at Jennings so far (which is an awesome track) but it will be nice to try another that is a bit more open and has more braking. |

| Re: barber here i come!!!! Congrats Daltrey, should be awesome. Do you have some track days under your belt already? The reason I ask is I believe track days (instructional) and racing schools are different animals. I think racing schools are more intense and assume you are already a very capable track rider. I might be wrong, but that's how it was phrased at Nelson Ledges here (obviously NOTHING compared to Barber). Good luck! |

Good! Man, I wish there was something like Barber around here. You're going to have a blast! Enjoy. |

Barber is a great track but has several blind corners as well as elevation changes (the kind of stuff I love BTW). Not what I would consider as being a top end track. Now the back straight at Road Atlanta... That's a different story  . (I mention RA because I am there Sunday, can't wait.  )
