No glass bottles are allowed in the Barber paddock - bring plastic cups! 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.

We must be out of the paddock by 7:00pm Sunday night. Any questions, please post up here.
Looking forward to Sunday, happy that it will be my 5th event there this year, sad that it will most likely be the last I am able to swing for 2016.
I know no one can really speak for Huey(except Huey), but does anyone know what he charges for suspension setup? I think I recall last time there was a flat fee or something... Could be wrong... Anyone know?
I've been to Barber, but never with STT. Can we leave our trailer in the paddock area on Friday night? What does it mean we are allowed to "stage" in the museum parking lot?
Yes, you can leave your trailer in the paddock after you get in on Friday. As to "stage", before the construction on the museum started we were allowed to park in the museum parking lot while we waited to get in to the track. Right now while the construction is still on-going there is too much traffic there and staging is done on the main entrance road. Just come up the road staying in the right lane and stop behind the last vehicle in line once you get there.
