    The Last Barber.

    A couple NEW items for Friday afternoon:
    - track registration for wristbands and electric will now be open at 3pm on Friday
    - gates will still be at the normal time
    - if you arrive early, go where the guard tells you (lot G)
    - at 3pm, you can walk up to get your wristband and electric
    - when the track allows us in after 5pm, the guard in lot G will direct you to drive up - then you can just drive through the gate, showing the guard your wristband

    Hopefully, this will make move-in smoother, and also prevent some of the line jumping in lot G that has been a problem in the past.


    IF YOU MISS THE RIDER'S MEETING, YOU WILL NOT RIDE.
    Too many people seem to assume this is a "soft" policy - it's not.
    If you're not there, you won't ride.

    This event is SOLD OUT.

    Track registration opens at 3pm, gates open 5:30pm Friday night and stay open til 10:00pm, if you make it in by 10:00pm you can then come 24/7, if you don't make it by 10:00pm gates re-open Sat at 7:00am-9:00pm, Sun 7:00am-4:00pm. Barber is in the Central Time Zone.

    There is a $5 per person, per day, gate fee for Sportbike Track Time events at Barber. Barber now takes cash or card.

    We ride R*** or shine, please come prepared for Southern rain showers.

    You must walk to the Porsche building and get your wristband before you can get into the paddock. If you need camping or electric, you can pay for that when you get your wristband. Again, this will be open at 3:00pm on Friday, then we can just drive in when directed by Barber security at 5:30pm (ish).

    If you arrive early please park where the gate guard directs you to park (which will be lot G).

    If you are there early, DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT approach the Porsche/registration building until 3:00pm or directed to do so by the guard or track management.

    No drinking of beer or alcohol allowed in parking areas and no changing bike oil in parking areas.

    No glass bottles are allowed in the Barber paddock - bring plastic cups!

    Camping is available and you pay the track for that.

    Electric is available in the lower pits against the fence and in the upper pits in both sides and you have to pay the track for that.

    PLEASE: use common sense for selecting your pit space. If you did not pay for power, please do not pit in front of a power pole. Please do not pit lengthwise, taking up multiple power spots, even if you did pay for power. If your rig is such that you do need to pit lengthwise, please do so in a corner of the paddock that does NOT take up multiple power spots. Note that the first tier around the tech area and in front of the building is reserved space - if you pit there without permission you will be asked to move.

    Thermosman will be with us for suspension tuning!!!!!!!!

    Sportbike Tire Service will be there with their usual awesome prices on Michelin (AND Dunlop) Tires.

    Tire service will be open Friday night 7:00pm-9:00pm to help you out. Then 7am to 7pm Saturday, 7am to 3pm Sunday. We can now remove and replace your wheels for you if you do not want to get greasy.

    Sign-up opens 6pm-7pm Friday evening (for you early birds) and then on Sat/Sun 7am -10:30am for the day. Please be on time.

    Tech opens 7am and closes 10:30am each day.

    Please note some NEW tech rules regarding GoPro (or similar) cameras:

    - all Gopros mounted on a motorcycle must have a tether from the camera case to a point on the motorcycle.

    - helmet mounted Gopros are not allowed at all on track

    - in our novice group, Gopros are not allowed on track in the morning sessions - in the afternoon sessions they are fine as long as the above rules are followed.

    Mandatory riders meeting 8:20am EACH AND EVERY day, Intermediate riders are first on track at 9am.

    Sorry to say, pets are NOT allowed at Barber.

    Showers are available on the second and third levels.

    Race gas and street gas is available on second level, credit cards only.

    Please keep your area clean and do not leave any race gas cans or tires when you leave.

    We must be out of the paddock by 7pm Sunday night!

    Any questions, please post up here.
