I'll be there both days, hoping it doesn't rain.

Re: Barber March 14-15

Looking better for Sunday. Hard to say on Saturday it seems to be pushing south and speeding up which is in our favor. I am 2 hours north and we have only gotten light sprinkles the last three days. Not nice weather but dry enough you could have probably kept slicks on all three days

Where you parking? Mine is easy to spot with the big mad blue bighorn on the front. The RC in stealth mode though since I painted it this winter

Re: Barber March 14-15

We just checked in our hotel in Trussville. It may raining and be nasty tomorrow, but it will all be just fine because I will have "stayed at a holiday inn express last night".

Going back in few hours to drop the trailer and bikes in the pit area. We are in a red durango pulling a white enclosed trailer. Got a red RC, a blue gixxer, and a black/white gixxer under a red tent when its all setup.

You coming tonight? Camping or hotel?

I am staying an exit up at the Best Western and will drop the trailer tonight about 6-7 since I am still at work. You planning on upper or lower? Yep tomorrow looks bad but you can never tell and Sunday is 10% No popup for me unless I get one tonight (not likely) Mine snapped last year Though my trailer is good sized so I can hide in the r%%% easy

Re: Barber March 14-15

Its my first time to barber so I'm not sure where where to go. Upper or Lower, your call since I have no idea......

We'll be there around the same time. I've got to put the RC back together again like humpty dumpty. I had to remove some things to get all 3 bikes in the trailer.

Re: Barber March 14-15

I am open and will hang out if y'all can handle it

Basically if you need power park on the upper either side or the lower by the track. The upper has a restroom, the lunch wagon and the gas pumps also. The lower has a rest room on the half you cannot park, has the control tower (good viewing for 'others') and is where the riders meeting is. If you have anyone riding "N" that is without a kickstand park on the lower as walking up and down the hill bites

The lower in the corner farthest from the restroom has a view of the turn onto the front straight up close but the upper you can see #5 well (from a distance)

I usually park in the bottom on the corner but most people dislike the walk to the facilities
