If you arrive early please park where the gate guard directs you to park. No drinking of beer or alcohol allowed in parking area's and no changing bike oil in parking area's. Please note that Sportbike Track Time is the ONLY organization that Barber allows to "stage" in the museum parking lot... we want to keep it that way! No glass bottles are allowed in the Barber paddock. 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, it's cheaper if you split it with your neighbors.

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 7:00pm Sunday night. Any questions, please post up here.
Unless things have changes they usually meet in the tower and you don't need to go to the riders meeting they will cover it in class. There usually is an announcement over the PA to get to the classroom.
To me, the tower is the tall "scoreboard/clock" that you see coming up the hill into T4. The classroom for Novice will be either on the 2nd floor or the 3rd floor of the race control/maint. facility building.
