6th AND 7th. *Advanced group. *There's a whole gang of people from cycleforums.com *Mostly Tenn. folks. *Some of us will be camping at the track.
Nesba says there won't be a tire vendor onsite so bring fresh rubber....*
If you haven't been to Barber...it is awesome! *It's going to be a blast! |

| Re: Barber Motorsports Park 9/6 & 9/7 Had a great time. Temps were cool due to overcast conditions but I never saw a drop of rain.
THIS TRACK ROCKS!!! Barber is beautiful, if you ever have a chance to go there for a track day or to watch a race, DO NOT pass it up. I have some pic's that I will post later but most are of me on the track... I really should have taken some time to take some pic's of the facility but my attention was focused on getting on the track. I will try to post the pic's I have from home tonight & write a little more about my first full track day experience. |

| Re: Barber Motorsports Park 9/6 & 9/7 What session(s) are the vids of? *If I only DL one vid which would you suggest?
I forgot to take pics myself...really wanted some of the facility and the art work but it just didn't happen. *
I had a awesome time except the sprinklers going off at 5:45am Saturday morning at the campering area. *That was a nice wake up call!
There were some AMA guys practicing....those guys were F...n railing! 1:28-9s *My best times were 140-1s. *Maldin has the record at 1:25 I believe...
This track is prim-O! *Nothing compares (that I have ridden). |

| I have only viewed the top video on the list (at work) and it was great. The feedback he has received at Georgia sportbikes has been good for all of his videos. Dzone is in the 'I' group and these should be all of the Saturday sessions. |

| Re: Barber Motorsports Park 9/6 & 9/7 I pulled down the first. Pretty nice. I assume the cam is on your bike? Your running pretty good in that group....time to move up?
Do you know if all the other vids are of the same view/angle? |

| No... it's not me, the camera is on Dzone's R1. He has more video from a rear mounted camera but it has not been posted yet. All of the video posted should be from the same front angle. |

| Re: Barber Motorsports Park 9/6 & 9/7 O2Fblade... Check out the pic in this thread Link. Is that you tucked in the middle there? I haven't checked out your pic's yet because the site wants me to register, but I will when I get home. (I saw this pic linked from a thread on the NESBA web site)
If you guys ride that tight in 'A' group all the time I don't know if I want to make it into the upper class. |

| Re: Barber Motorsports Park 9/6 & 9/7 That's me! That's an awesome pic! All but 2 of those guys are my buds. From my view it's only 1 rider! It's not always that tight but sometimes! Once you get comfy on the track you be wanting to learn more passing skills...it will come in time (track time!
It's strange that my link ask you to register...your link is to the same site! Ohwell.
That pic is great! |

| Re: Barber Motorsports Park 9/6 & 9/7 Registered now... Great pics.
For some reason your pictures were shown as a link that, when clicked on, I would get a message telling me that I *needed to register to view them. No problem now *
You guys were movin'. |
