This weekend at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham. I'm going to be there Saturday, anyone else going?

I took some pics at the last open track event I went to there last month - it rained but was still pretty fun:

OK I'm confused. Do you register at the track? I'd hate to drive 4 hours to find out there's no room for me.

Hey John! Thanks for the links to the pics of my car! I had actually checked them out a while back when Robert Russom sent the link out to our group. I'll be there this weekend, as will the "Alabama Gang" (as Wayne Bodge likes to call us...and Wayne will be there too)...in our usual spot at the Turn 1 end of the 2nd paddock level.

If you are planning on doing this one also, you should have already registered online via the links above or directly at http://www.motorsportsreg.com. I don't see a Perkins on the list, and I believe the event may be full...

Fred - sounds good - I'll see you there.

Also, I think the event is full too from the looks of the online registering, I won't be bringing the Vette (this time...)

But I will bring the camera!

Oh well. See you guys there in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the heads up, but I think I should sit that one out since the 6th is my 10 year anniversary. She's already fired up because I leave that night to go to Barber on Saturday.

Fred, don't forget to add to your signature "no brake lights"

Hey, I just saw this post now that I'm home, but I definitely saw your car and should have a few pics of it (still sifting through and editing / uploading - I took over 2,000 pics this weekend).

I got a few of your car behind the Caddy that I brought up:




And here's Fred gassing up and doing a new forearm workout he came up with:





The rest are uploading here:

LOL...hey now-- don't forget...not too long ago, we couldn't even SEE your brake lights! BTW, I did find the cause for that-- during a tow hook install, my esteemed assistant routed the wiring harness too close to the muffler when putting everything back together. The loom had melted onto the harness and there was a spot where the wire itself was showing. It would short out and blow the fuse every time I'd go back out and start slinging the car around. Best I could do was re-route the harness and wrap it in electrical tape. Workin' so far!

Ha! Love it! Thanks for the great shots this time and last, John! Look forward to seein' you next time out...

I had to leave early due to heat soak issues. The supercharger and a standard cooling system don't play well together on the track.

Which blower do you have? I have an A&A P1SC kit on my C5...

A few more pics...
