Tracks Unlimited just opened registration for a Saturday one day hpde at Barber Motorsport Park on Oct 6. those guys do a great track day, and give 3.5 hours of track time in one day. Registration is only $275 which is really good for Barber. Registration is now handled through Motorsportreg.com. I would really like to see the vettes dominate the run groups there. come out and join me. Jerry

I'll be there. Hope the knee is doing fine. Missed you guys this weekend. My first 24 hr endurance; lots of fun, great team and good car. We simply asked a little too much of the ride.

I would love to do this event, but am not used to doing one day events. To drag my car 4 hours to a one day deal is not what I usually do.

Of course I could drive my mullet wagon up there.

Oct 6th IS my born on date LOL.

David, I have a 5+ hour ride. We are showing up Friday afternoon. I will buy you a beer and cup cake for your B' Day if you attend. These guys are a lot of fun to run with. Look at Arte's post above.

I hope to see you there.

Jim

Jim, it would be an honor to see you at the event. And birthday boy, we will make it extra special for you as well! The one thing that might make it feel like a better opportunity for you is that you will get a weekend worth of driving time with us in one day versus a lot of the track companies out there. You will get 3.5 hours of on track time with us on that Saturday. Hope you can find a way to justify it, and celebrate your birthday there.

Hey Jeff, from what I understand registration is a little slow yet, but we are still 7 weeks out so I am betting it picks up. You and Josh need to plan to come. I would like to see you again. I goofed my knee up in Branson MO on vacation the last day there. Drove home 2 days and docs had me in surgery 2 days after we got home. Left knee locked straight in a brace for 3 more weeks. Then a little motion comes, and the therapy starts (or the torture some say ha ha) HOpe to be driving by the event. Jerry
