    There are still spots available in ALL groups for the weekend!

    Also: TRACK WALK -- TRACK WALK -- TRACK WALK

    We are doing a track walk Saturday evening - this will be the LAST time we'll be able to go out and see the track as it is and was, before they repave the whole place! Take a selfie with the patch at the entry to museum turn - because after this - it'll be gone!!!!


    Gates open approx 5:30-6:00pm Friday night and stay open til 10:00pm, if you make it in by 10:00pm you can then come 24/7, if you don't make it by 10:00pm gates re-open Sat at 7:00am-9:00pm and Sun 7:00am-4:00pm. Barber is in the Central Time Zone.

    There is a $5 per person, per day, gate fee for Sportbike Track Time events at Barber. Bring some cash with you!!!!!!

    We ride R*** or shine, please come prepared for Southern rain showers.

    You must walk to the Porsche building and get your wristband before you can get into the paddock. If you need camping or electric, you can pay for that when you get your wristband.

    If you arrive early please park where the gate guard directs you to park in the museum parking lot, or lot G (we use the museum parking lot until it fills up and then lot G).

    If you are there early, DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT approach the Porsche/registration building until directed to do so by the guard or track management.

    No drinking of beer or alcohol allowed in parking areas and no changing bike oil in parking areas.

    Please note that Sportbike Track Time is the ONLY organization that Barber allows to "stage" in the museum parking lot... we want to keep it that way!

    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.

    PLEASE: use common sense for selecting your pit space. If you did not pay for power, please do not pit in front of a power pole. Please do not pit lengthwise, taking up multiple power spots, even if you did pay for power. If your rig is such that you do need to pit lengthwise, please do so in a corner of the paddock that does NOT take up multiple power spots. Note that the first tier around the tech area and in front of the building is reserved space - if you pit there without permission you will be asked to move.

    No suspension service for this weekend.

    Sportbike Tire Service will be there with their usual awesome prices on Michelin Tires.

    Tire service will be open Friday night 7:00pm-9:00pm to help you out. Then 7am to 7pm Saturday, 7am to 7pm Sunday, and 7am to 4pm Monday. We can now remove and replace your wheels for you if you do not want to get greasy.

    Sign-up opens 7am and closes at 10:30am for the day. Please be on time.

    Tech opens 7am and closes 10:30am each day.

    Please note some NEW tech rules regarding GoPro (or similar) cameras:

    - all Gopros mounted on a motorcycle must have a tether from the camera case to a point on the motorcycle.

    - helmet mounted Gopros are not allowed at all on track

    - in our novice group, Gopros are not allowed on track in the morning sessions - in the afternoon sessions they are fine as long as the above rules are followed.

    Mandatory riders meeting 8:20am EACH AND EVERY day, Intermediate riders are first on track at 9am.

    Sorry to say, pets are NOT allowed at Barber.

    Showers are available on the second and third levels.

    Race gas and street gas is available on second level, credit cards only.

    Please keep your area clean and do not leave any race gas cans or tires when you leave.

    We must be out of the paddock by 7pm Sunday night!

    Any questions, please post up here.

    I won't be making this event, but plan to hit Tally in a couple months. Is the riders meeting at 8:20am across the board now? STT website still says 8:30am. Also, did I see somewhere that tech inspection reopens briefly after the riders meeting? I thought I remembered reading that somewhere, but have looked and can't find that info again. I work 2nd shift and live 1.5-2 hours away from Barber/Tally. Those early mornings suck.

    I'm looking for anyone that has front brake caliper bolts for a 2018 R6. Any 2011-2018 r6 or r1 would have them, along with some other models. I'm willing to buy them or throw some cash to someone who can let me borrow them for the weekend. I'm signed up to ride all weekend and came from Florida only to find my brake caliper bolts missing Thursday night. I've called a dozen shops and dealers and no one within an hour and a half of Barber has them in stock. Please text or call us if you can help us out. 407-222-5622.
