OK...lets set this up right this time...I'm going...my vacation will be in tommorow and ill probably go ahead and buy my tickets soon. The race weekend is Sept. 19th-21st. I plan on camping on site all 3 days and having a blast. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif Im gonna bring the bike and some kind of ATV or dirtbike as well to get around on. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Check it out...the track looks awsome and i hear the facilities are some of the best in the world.

Barber Motorsports Park (http://www.barbermotorsports.com/)

I plan on being there. I plan on doing the camping thing also. Let's set up a Gixxer.com campsite. That way everyone can meet each other that is there and have a possible meeting place for eveyone else that isn't camping. It's 4 months away, so we should be able to get some organization to this. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif What does everyone think??

The rules say no 4wheelers..... I guess I'll have to bring my bike then.

rules (http://www.barbermotorsports.com/amenities.html)

I know Motojoe and I are going, and we plan on camping as well. A gixxer.com camp area sounds like a good plan http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

And i don't think you can bring your Dirtbike either.....They are very strict! They even supply me and others on the pit a flat wood to put under your bike side stand at the pits. The place is like going to a garden park! i wonder how they gonna maintain the area with so many people like in roadAtlanta. Their grasses could be seen similar to the golf field.

I dont see any grandstands, and it looks very flat. Is it hard to see the race at barber
I hope It is half as fun as road atlanta. We definately need to organize better

There is suppose to be 80ft of elevation change throughout the track and supposedly you can see 75% of the track. So it is somewhat of an open track as far as sightlines. which could be good.

You can definately see the track in a lot of different places. If you sit at the start/finish, you can see all 4 straights, but the turns are probably the best places to watch. Man, they are tricky as hell! Pretty much every turn is blind.

Youre looking at an aerial view pic of the track, of course it's gonna look flat http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bitchslap.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Theres a pic on their site that shows a mini-corkscrew, looks loads of fun to ride for sure.

Hey guys. Lucky me. I live 30 minutes from this track. This track is the shit IMO. You sit on the grass all around the track picnic style and there is literally no bad seat at the place. I plan on going as well. Most of you probably don't even recognize my name but if you need any more info on the B'ham area, let me know. I would gladly do any legwork you guys needed before coming up here since I am a few minutes away.

I heard either hear or homestead in FLa. anyone know where that is?

More then likely Barber cause they said its more setup to handle GP and the riders say the track is alot better either way i dont care im gonna go see it lol..... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

I'll be there.....with two other friends. We're gonna do alot of exploring before and after the race on some twisty roads since the roads here in Panama city are straight. Looking forward to meeting some new faces. Also who's gonna be doing the escorted lap around the track. It's $10 extra and only a limited amount of tickets will be sold. I'd also like to do maybe a big group ride after the race one day.

Me and the fam are going. Let me me know the gathering spot looking forward to meet all of you their.

Keep me posted...

Chris

I plan on being there!! I live in Alexander City, Alabama a hour away from there.

My friend is getting his trailer ready. It is a large white trailer with AC and it is a full shell completely covered and nice. It will hold 4 bikes right now. I live in Bham so no need in camping but I think we will make a big Gixxer.com Banner and I know for sure we will have a Big GSXR banner made soon. Look for us. You can also go to www.rabtech.com (http://www.rabtech.com) and register at our forum for southeast two wheelers. We put it up a little over a week ago. There is a sign up under events for Barber. We will have a large camping spot and nice cool place for people to get out of the heat. Register at www.rabtech.com (http://www.rabtech.com) and tell us where you are from. Finally a forum for us Southerners. Check it out.

I'll be there if nothing changes. I am bringing my camper and my BEER!!!! looking forward to meeting some of you guys and gals. I should be easy to spot.

We all need to plan some way to meet each other. I would love to meet fellow gixxers. Maybe a huge sign at your campsite saying "gixxer.com" or something.

Josh

No type of off road vehicles are allowed at Barber , If it is not street legal and registered you WILL get in trouble if not removed from the track ! Just trying to be helpful . http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Oh yeah I'am so there ! Leaving the 18th see ya there ! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/banana.gif

Thanks for the heads up http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/bounce.gif We're leaving either late Thurs or early Fri. We're bringing the bike so we'll be ok getting around http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif Do you have any ideas for a 'meet up' place?

Bought my wife and I tickets the other night. I will be there everyday..not sure how much she will come out.

Josh

I plan on being there. Don't think I'll be lucky enough to get both days in but will at least one day. Where is everyone meeting? Anyone riding from north of Atlanta?

Oh, I remember Joe saying that you had bought your tickets, Josh http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Are you familiar with the track? Where do you think everyone should meet? As for your wife, it's all good as long as she hits the "clubs" with us, right? http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Hey se7en, thanks for letting us know. Maybe between now and then we can get a meet up location planned http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Just got my tickets in the mail tonight. Woohoo! I am not familiar at all http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I was supposed to do an intro track class last weekend but ended up being with the military so it didn't work out. Lemme know where you guys wanna meet. I will be out there Friday by myself all day, and my wife will be there Sat and Sun.

Oh yeah. My wife is the party girl in the family.

Josh

Yo, me and about 6 of my friends are riding from Atlanta on Sunday. I'm not sure where we are going to meet yet, but if you wanna ride with us let me know

Thanks for the heads up, we really need to figure out where and when to meet at the track. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

call me if you are interested in meeting up, send me a pm and I wll give you my cell #

My boss's son, Andy Caldwell will be racing with the superbikes there. He will be on the 166 Speedvision 2003 GSX-R1000. I can't wait to see that track, it looks to be the shit! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/punk.gif

Just bought my tickets!!!! 4 more days http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/banana.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/banana.gif Looks like I'll be riding the bike from Panama city, FL on Friday afternoon. Was going to go in on getting a uhaul trailer; looks as if by bud's are backing out on the idea and just driving their truck instead. If anyone's passing through Panama city and would want to ride together let me know. Or I could meet up with anyone on my way up to Birmingham. I will be there both Saturday and Sunday. I'm down to meet up where ever. Also is anyone meeting up after the races on Saturday night. 5 points downtown Birmingham is always a hotspot.

We can meet up at Ruby Tuesday in Southside. I will be there after the races. I can't wait.

thats the ruby tuesday's thats really close to 5 points isn't it? I don't know downtown B'ham like I used too

Ok guys. I am going to try and oragnize a little. I am going to setup Fri - Sat near the Museum. I think we should all try and get in that general area. Everyone who wants to hook up during the Fri - Sat put their cellphone on here and I will record them all and give a call to em everyday and see if we cant all group together to watch everything. I am bringing a friend (and wife on the weekend) and of course my other local friends want to go out and party Sat night. If you all want to go out saturday night, we can all meet somewhere and hit Southside. Pretty cool place at night and lots of bars to hop. Look forward to meeting everyone Friday on.
