    Just wanted to post a note to compliment all of the staff at Barber on 10/27 and 10/28/07. The event was a raging success IMHO. Great track, great riders, we stayed within a few minutes of the schedule all weekend (other than the pause while waiting for an ambulance after transports in 2 successive sessions) and you guys ordered up the best possible weather with cloudless blue skies both days and temps in the low 70's. :D

    Now it's going to be a long wait for the next track days in the spring. :(

    Here, here. I personally felt that I improved a lot especially in the afternoon. Best weather of any trackday I've ever done. After such a great day the break until spring will seem like forever.

    I was there the 28th for my first ever track day and had an absolute blast. STT put on a great event, good job guys. I can't wait until the next Barber date, I will definetely be there.

    BTW, when will the 2008 schedule be out? I wanna sign up early and make sure I get a spot.

    I'd like to kick in my thanks as well. A great event, and my first chance to ride on a true "world class" track.

    A little frustrating and difficult to learn at first, but I think it is my favorite (so far) now!

    Also, big thanks to STG, who showed up at the track with much needed last-minute parts for my bike, which kept me on the track! :mrgreen:

    Awesome track, great time.

    I think Mark needs to change his riders meet spiel about wadding up bikes and red flags being the territory of novice and inters though :D

    How many red flags in advanced again, I lost count :wink:

    I want to chime in and add what a great time I also had a Barber. My first time there and I was the girl with the blue SV in novice group on Sunday. What a fantastic facility and track. The day couldn't have had better weather. I also want to wish a speedy recovery to all those who went down that day.

    As usual, Barber was awesome! This was my 3rd trip there and I'm only now feeling like I'm coming to grips with the track.

    Huge props and thank yous to the Sheldons as well as the whole southern staff. You guys put on organized and well run events, and you're all a friendly and wonderful bunch of folks!!!

    Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

    Thanks Mark & Lois for a great weekend. Barber never disappoints. The trip down from Wisconsin seems only half as long as the trip back. I wonder why that is? Oh well, at least the Packers won.
