Default Barber HPDE Oct 6 $275

Just looked up registration on Motorsportreg.com for the Barber event the Tracks Unlimited is putting on. One day event with 3.5 hours of track time for only $275 at Barber. Looks like about 25 have signed up so far. I think they are cutting off registration at 75 because they want to limit how many cars are on track at one time. Don't miss this awesome chance to drive one of the best tracks in American, for a great price. Jerry

It's in more than a million pieces, but it's not the only Corvette that I own.

Yep, have learned that over and over the hard way....like "I'm using stock swaybars", or "just here doing some test and tune this weekend".....oh yeah I know....

I used stock sway bars in June DURING the PTA bash race weekend

I would be potentially interested in the barber event but i've got booked up plans that weekend.

Just saw that Chin is sold out at Barber in the next week or two. The Tracks Unlimited event is sounding like a better and better option. Jerry

Looking forward to visiting/chatting with Jim Painter again at the event. The man is a wealth of knowledge from his professional racing career and is quick to help out anyone with interest in track technique. Hope the whole TU gang makes it out. A great group with which to socialize!

At 68 0ld and slow! I thought Newlander was timing me with a sundial at VIR but he said he was using a calander!

Andy Pilgrim thinks we are all nuts for riding with students. He already gives back a lot but he will be old and slow some day!
