2011 Barber - Paducah 038

We met our paddock mate, Colin, a Canadian that lives in Daytona Beach, on Friday as we waited to register for the weekend. He made an excellent paddock mate and we hope to see him again!

This is my favorite photo from the weekend. It's late in the day on Sunday and the shadows are long.

When you enter the track at the beginning of a session, there can be quite a crowd going into Turn 2.

The museum. The rider is heading toward Turn 7, after which he'll head back out of Turn 8, "Museum Corner."

I really like the color scheme on her bike, and it matches her helmet.

You don't generally want to see this vehicle on the track unless you need it, in which case you are very glad to see this vehicle on the track. There were a few bumps and broken bones, but the weekend was free of severe accidents as far as I know. STT track days generally have very few incidents. I did not see a single red flag in two days of Intermediate group sessions at Road America in June, and I only had one red flag in my sessions at Barber.

Ricardo from Milwaukee (or Chicago) made some amazing carne asada on the grill with fresh vegetables and very spicy jalapeƱos.

The Louisiana style cook from Georgia (sorry, blanking on his name) was at Barber as he was at my track days at Road America in June, and once again piled a bunch of amazing food on a table for us to graze on. He did a crayfish boil on the Friday night at Road America as well.
