Title: Thans CCS for a fun weekend at Barber..!
Post by: MELK-MAN on August 14, 2006, 06:34:02 PM
light turnout, but im sure next year will be better. Thanks for the personal attention in regard to the Griff, the announcer. He was great and Sat and Sun really worked hard to give race winners the "air time" they deserve. The #1 (Darrin Luck),#2 (Dave Mcenery) and #3 (me) FL region plate holders thank you for a fun weekend.

Yes, yes you do!  I enjoyed Barber in the rain though.  No major puddles like VIR.  VIR now scares the crap outta me in the rain.  :(  Jennings was great too, but the right side of the tire just never got warmed up.  None the less, I'll bet you guys were praying for rain all weekend long! 

Did Dave ever hit the 31's he was wanting?  Last I saw he hit flat 33's.  How bout you?  What was your best times the weekend?

Dave got in the 32's but not 31's. I did a best of 1:33.5 in the very last race of the day on sunday..Kinda upsetting really as i was only doing 34s to that point but made a big change to the settings on the shock n fork after the ASRA race. Kinda crazy, 34s on a VERY strong R6 in the dry and did 1:42.95 on a wet track on my other bike with 7 less HP. For sure was hoping for rain but it was loads of fun.

I enjoyed the great competition on Sunday.

Here is a gallery of photos from most of the Sunday session.

We loved having you in Birmingham, Alabama at the Barber Motorsports Park.  I hope to see all of you again next year!

Close Dave.  You guys ran surprisingly well at Barber!  Hopefully I can stay a little closer at Jennings in a few weeks!  :)
