Thanks Butch! Going to try to make it. Hate the tow, but the track is great.

You bringing your grey?

See ya' at Barber Jeff! You going to make the test day?

I have it on good authority that there will be a NEW driver in ITA at Barber. He should be quick!!!!

Took me a second to figure out what you meant (greyhound), but no. If you read all the stipulations the track puts on us (we reproduced the contract's "Exhibit B" in the Supps for your edification and reading pleasure) you'll see that Barber Motorsports Park is decidedly NOT pet friendly!

BTW - we now have two rescue greyhounds. Great dogs!

IIRC there is a $50 withdrawal fee. Is there a $50 early bird special?

Share! Who is that gonna be?

[JeffYoung]

Oh yeah..forgot about all the Barber rules.....well, as hot as it will probably be, maybe not a bad thing. My greyhound goes to VIR and that's about it...he hates the heat so CMP is tough.

Congrats on the new addition. They truly are great dogs.

oh no.... it's not one of those prima donna Sports-Racer types is it??

I'm thinking that Barber may be doable for me after all. Couple of questions for those already been.

1. Heard some prior comments about bills from the track for "damage" to the track if you have an off or whatever. Wouldn't want to leave the track with some huge lien on my future.

2. Do they "allow" staying in your trailer as I usually do. I don't consider it camping but they might. Having to get a motel would be a "burden".

3. Any other anomalies that make Barber different from RA/VIR/CMP.

Thanks, phew, tires, diesel, regular recuring body work, cost of food this is getting a little tight.

Drag about the Hounds, I sure loved having Butch's as a neighbor at CMP. I had planned to get one when we built our new place but I guess I was in lala about how large they really are. We got a Boykin Spanniel instead he fits in the Miata a little better and I love hime more than air.

Barber will allow the damage of 50 square yards of sod...then you get a bill. If you hit the guardrail, it it gets more expensive, as they are three tall, and Mr. Barber does not like dented guardrails. Solution ...stay on the track

Camping is allowed and the cost is 25/weekend. Power is 25/day. If you use their facilities..showers, etc., you should pay to camp, IMHO. Chuck

I'm in. I didn't see a separate registration for the practice day, but I plan to be there! Gotta learn to drive a FWD!

[JeffYoung]

True, all of that. Also, don't mess up the pavement in the paddock. More potential $$$.

Sweet! More the merrier, should be a good time.

I'm trying to decide whether to run the test day too or see the track for the first time IRL during qualifying

Welcome George...more the merrier No more wings and things? Chuck

Thanks Chuck. Finally had to admit that I can't keep up with the DSR crowd. For half the money, I found a really nice car. Now the only excuse I have is the driver. And I'm really looking forward to working on that part!

What's up with the $50 charge if you cancel after the Tuesday before the race? Atlanta region events have always been full refund if you don't show. The supps talk about the cost of the track, but I don't see how that affects whether a full refund is given or not. I don't think the track rental is based on the number of cars that registered so it's not like the price goes up if somebody registers, but doesn't show.

I don't think anybody ever has the intention of canceling right before the weekend, but stuff happens. Typically it's not something good that would keep somebody from attending so you're now adding insult to injury by knocking them $50 for not showing. Just bad PR IMO.

[JeffYoung]

Exactly. I could get attacked by a mob of angry meth addicts again on the way to the track!

Hope to see you guys down there David.
