[quote]Camping will cost you or notā€¦depends on NASA. Power is available on the middle two tiers and is 25$ a DAY. No campsites very close.

I donā€™t have an ebrake eitherā€¦use 2X4.

Scott, look me up and Iā€™ll show you the lines. Will be there in a black e36M3 #195 and should be on the third tier next to the bath tower.

Do you have a TracMate? Chuck[/quote]

Is anyone planning to camp (Brian)?

No Tracmate but Iā€™ll hunt you down when I get there (Iā€™m thinking Friday night).

You better hope it never gets fixed. :wink:

#66

As of today, there are 21 entries in Lightning and 20 in Thunder and Iā€™d guess that there will be some more registrations. If youā€™ve looked at the schedule weā€™ll have ā€œStormā€ sprint races which will be Thunder and Lightning combined to leave time for the Radicals to have their own races (why is that?). I wouldnā€™t be surprised if we had a 50+ car field for the Sprints. Thatā€™s gonna make for a pretty crowded track!

How many Radicals could there be? That seems like a lot of open track for what I would expect would be a small group.

John, Barber is not an easy track and there are several turn in points that are single file. Large fields will make it very interesting to say the least. Iā€™m still on probation for my stunt at Road Atlanta, I donā€™t need to complicate that issue.

Looks like they have had 15-20 for the first 6 races. Since Barber is the only east coast stop for the Radical Challenge, it might attract a lot of guys who donā€™t get a chance to run Radical-only races. Or it may attract few people because they donā€™t want to make the trek from the West Coast.

I have a feeling that despite the low count, they will more than cover their share of the cost. I donā€™t know any poor Radical owners. :wink:

I hope to get over there to see them. For the cost/speed ratio, they make 100 large look like a bargain.

Steve if you sell your miata / junk car collection maybe you can sign up for next yearā€¦

#72

:slight_smile: Iā€™m signed up for the sprints!

Iā€™ve been wanting to run at Barber since they opened. Canā€™t wait to get down thereā€¦ itā€™s been way long since Iā€™ve raced (for whatever reason LeMons doesnā€™t count).

Now I need to study up on this trackā€¦

See ya there.

Iā€™ve been AWOL. Missed CMP with a broken rocker arm and in-law duties. I donā€™t care if we run before/after/with the Radicals or clog up the Thunder race (let 'em wait), Iā€™ll be there. Last week I completed the installation of the thermonuclear, titanium, shot peened, hydro-hardened #6 intake rocker arm. (With good tips from yā€™all.) That arm is good for 5+ HP, so watch out!! I think the Barber track is great - beautiful grounds, very technical, nice elevation changes, and so many place to F*** up. And the e30 plows so beautifully going down through turn 8. But for the ATL crowd, itā€™s relatively close. Pray for cool, cloudy weather or we will fry on the Alabama asphalt. See you soon.
