Long time lurker - first time poster. I'm heading to Barber this weekend with the wife. This will be my first trip to Barber and I'd be interested in opinions on the best places to view the race from. Does anyone have any favorite viewing locations they'd be willing to share? Thanks
On the hill on the backside...basically the direct opposite side of the pits across the track. You can see a good 60% of the track if not more.
I thought you were going to tell us where the sacrifice would be held at. I would think the hill in the trees at the end of the back straight would be good. You would have shade and you should be able to see a lot. I'm not sure though. I keep watching the races from the track. It's a great place to ride around and spectate.
Will they let you ride pit bikes this weekend? We're trying to decide wether to take the 50's, or the street bikes.....
They usually don't let spectators take pit bikes into the pits, and the road around the track is a public road so you can't ride them there. I think I will sit out this race and get ready to be gone to VIR. Fuel is to pricey to ride for one day, unless I found a place to stay and I could ride my streebike.......Of course the highway to there is horrible once you pass Anniston
Nice spot to watch... It's all good! Don't get stuck in one spot. one of my favs is exiting the rollercoaster and up the back chute.(next to the lions) If you have a plate on your pit bike remember your helmet keep it mobile.That place rocks Im looking forward to the Nat. Chal. later in the year.I Will be Back on my bike by then.
