I spent a weekend at a NESBA track day at Barber last weekend. Barber is an amazing place. The facility is very nice, the museum is cool and the track outstanding.

It took me the first day to sort of get used to the track. The second day I was much more comfortable but still didn't have the track figured out.

Me and a couple of friends drove down in a borrowed RV & Trailer from northern Virginia. Having the RV made everything much better. Between sessions we got to hang out in the air conditioning.

The good news is that I didn't crash this time

BTW Limey, the SBK3 brake pads worked very well.

Here are the pictures

I probably only took 20% of the pictures. The on-track pics were done by the professional photographers at the track. The rest were taken by all three of us who were on the trip.

The end of October sounds like a perfect time to ride Barber. It was hot as hell last weekend. You're going to have a blast. The track is good enough that I'm sure I'll make the 13 hour drive again next year. (maybe not in Aug though).

Attended a Keith Code school there last weekend. What a blast. There was a black, non-1050 S3 in one of the other classes but I never met the guy. Anybody here?
