+ for the camping, especially for those of us that have access or own a motorhome. It gives the wife and child(ren) something else to do.

I like the April and September dates, Hallett follows both. What about the last of Feb? There's a small weather risk I guess. You have one set in June, a DE I think, man that'll be hot with the AL sun. A lot of people going on vacation in that month as well...how has the past participation been in June? just curious

This is exactly opposite of what I've heard about the Barber Staff with motorcycle events. That said, The motorcycle crowd won't support their overhead...

This really sux, as it's on my list of tracks to do...

As one of the DE participants this past weekend, and last June, I just hope that you can keep the joint DE/race format for Fri/Sat. I absolutley love the track and being able to share the venue with the racers. Having both a DE and a race on the same weekend allows me to drive, and be a specator, and watching and talking to the racers also helps me to improve both my driving and my car setup.
The June Fathers Day weekend last year was not very hot, good weather, and an easy Fathers Day present to myself.

We were planing on attending this year but with TWS the next weekend and no camping we decided not to go. I think if it were a 3 day event and camping was available in late April we would be there next year.

I personally found the folks at Barber to be nice. I will consider adding it to my race schedule next year so long as it's a 3 day event w/enduro.
