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 be on time. We will also have signup open for an hour or so Friday evening, if you want to get that out of the way and done, it's one less thing to do in the morning. Tech opens 7am and closes 10:30am both Saturday and Sunday. Mandatory riders meeting 8:20am both days, Intermediate riders are first on track at 9am. Sorry to say, pets are NOT allowed at Barber.

It's bittersweet... The last track weekend for us makes me sad, but looking forward to riding again:getdown: Time to put in a bunch of hours over the winter to bank paid time off for next season
Printed out a track map and watched a BUNCH of youtube videos last night. Hopefully I won't be to lost the first time out. Looking forward to getting a tow the first session from one of you southern guys who know's all the good lines. Can't wait!!!
marc can help with the tow, it is up to you to decide which of the 100 ways to enter or leave a corner you (your bike, and or laptimer) like the best. the track is amazing, it is VERY TECHNICAL. the facility IS SECOND TO NONE. keep trevor out of the weeds will ya? i am bumming i cannot go with you guys. i want to soooo bad!

Turns out the last weekend at Barber was my last weekend to ride of the season. We're hauling down to stinky old Daytona this week and I wish I could jump out somewhere in Georgia to run over to 'bama but I have to actually do work at the ROC/RRGC event, and the only seat time I'll be getting is on a scooter. Hope the weather is perfect for you guys and gals.
If we are doing the DiSalvo school, do we tech with STT and/or attend the rider's meeting or do we meet up separately?
You'll go through STT registration and tech. For the riders meeting, Jason does his own, so you will be with him for the riders meeting. :thumb:
+1 After doing registration and Tech with STT, head to the classroom (around 8:15 I think, but listen to the announcements to be safe) for the riders meeting and intro session for the JDSA. See you there.
