my fiancé will be with me and I'm curious about how to get around the track for different viewing spots for her. this will be my first time at Barber and I know it isn't set up like road A where you can just drive where ever you want. And looks like from Barber's website, motorized vehicles are only allowed in the paddock? We were planning on bringing a four wheeler as well, is there any point to bring it? Just trying to make the weekend easier and more enjoyable for her. oh and have I mentioned I'm super excited.
The 4 wheeler is only allowed in the pits and there is oly 1 viewing area there... I wouldn't bring it... You can drive a car around on the outside of the track.. Plenty of parking available and viewing locations.. Nothing is allowed out of the pits that does not have a license plate...
Hello, Is staying in the toy hauler over night in the pit area each night considered camping, and is there an additional charge for that; if so does any one know how much that costs? Also, does any one know the cost for power each day? Lastly, is it ok to use a small charcoal grill for cooking in the pit area? Sorry for all the dumb questions. It's been several years since I've been to the track. Thanks for any advice. Signed up for Sat, Sun, Mon. (Novice) See you all there.
This may be a dumb question but is 7am the gate opening time on Monday morning as well? I'm probably not going to make it in from MD the night before in time.
One more thing, I would like to take my fiance around the track for a two up ride if that is happening this weekend, if so does anyone have a spare set of smaller set of Leathers and boots we could borrow for a session?
I keep my daughter's smaller leathers and boots in my trailer, though she can't make it this weekend. I would be happy to lend them. There are also rentals (better leathers) available.
that would be awesome!!! I would hate to rent leathers for 20 minutes of usage. I had her try on my 2 piece....of course it was way too big lol
