WSBK - Barber - 2021

I'd love to hear the post race interviews from Nelson! See the winners grimacing from 3 days of not taking a dump.

 

How many years did PIRC have their expansion planned before it actually happened? I was sure for years it was a pipe dream.

 

This is the best I can do with a 5 second search.

 

This has previously been beat to death. Road America is not an option. Pretty much no way to get it to pass FIM rules for WSBK safety without moving a railroad track. No attendance at Miller, so they can't afford it. COTA probably sees the $ it costs for MotoGP and can't see how a second lower tier bike event would draw enough to pay off. Pitt might be the next closest, but safety again would probably be an issue even if they built out enough garages. Laguna, Indy or Barber are about it in reality.

 

The one I remember was a hand drawn extension to a track map that someone photographed through a window at the circuit, it must be getting on for ten years ago.

 

It's in my post a few above yours, and it was over 10 years ago.

 

They could work out of their shipping/transport trailers. They did this at Laguna anyway.

 

Broome could put them up in the Deathstar, but they'd have to find somewhere else to shit.

 

I don't know the exact numbers but PIRC was moving dirt within a year of the announcement. It was a massive amount of excavating, and about 3 years until it was operational including the pavement. They let us walk it when it was under construction and we were there for a Beaver event.

 

This place has been getting boring Ed! I had to give them some new material. How's Joe healing up?

 

My fuzzy recollection was that they talked about the expansion almost from opening day. Anyway, my point is if they could do it I'm sure Barber can too.

 

Good, thanks. Doing PT and getting better. A second shoulder surgery is on the table possibly, but not yet confirmed. Hopefully won't be needed. Tell your pops hello.

 

Won’t happen.... no expansion in the future AFAIK.... Especially since the rep ave 2 Months ago... Last time I heard this was 10 years ago and the city of BHam shot it down...

 

Please make sure everyone gets the memo: do NOT move Steven’s trailer

 

Just reopen gravity cavity and it will have the same appeal as the corkscrew at Laguna. Then build garages in the outer paddock where it is already paved. You could even sell VIP tickets in the paddock bleachers at Road A to generate return on the investment.

 

How can Birmingham shut it down when the track is in Leeds?

 

It's not, Birmingham has some weird city limits. BMP is part of Birmingham now. https://data.birminghamal.gov/datas...resource/bbd066d5-d8bc-427c-8405-1ab3b2050ba4

 

Ahhh ok. It must have changed.

 

LMFAO!
