    Well :shock: that was fun. Do I prefer it to Mid Ohio, can't really say. It sure is interesting , does not give you any chance to really rest all that much ( as if resting @ a 150 on the MO back straight is anyone's idea of resting :) ) . I was slower then molasses (1.54) but boy did I have fun. Pity its over 9 hours from me. Well I will be re-newing my acquaintance with MO ( an hour away) April 26 and 27th , so we will have to compare and contrast .
    The weekend was not without incident :( , I caused a buddy of mine to go down in the roller coaster, the guy on the Ducati mentioned on Sunday Morning. I blew the turn going into the coaster and cut him off, he was trying to go inside of me . He went down fortunately no harm to him , but the clutch on his Duc got fubard. He was cool about it , next time he promised , he is going to use me as a berm :lol:


    I will be back to Barber , maybe in October, excellent job by the staff for a well run show
    Thanks a Bunch

    We sure enjoyed having you there....

    ..I'll have to get up to MO this year. Gina and I are doing Nashville SS in April, not the best track, but 20 minutes from my house. Have a good one, Justin :D

    True on the no rest Barber is the biggest workout of anything I have ridden. Not only do you have shorter straights but there is a lot of right-left combos. After riding Barber, Road Atlanta is so easy since you have the monster straight and can stay of one side for such extended times.

    No hard feelings Justin! I had a great time.

    Tac, if you decide to head up to MO let me know. We can have a Southern ZRXers go north weekend. I'm interested in heading up there also!
