2019 Concours de Competition at Barber June 29th

Ok - I’m sure this is waaaay premature, but is the intent to makes this a yearly event?

 

Thanks Sean. The Slinghot project is about take on a whole new dimension.

 

Are we allowed in track on Friday evening for setup?

 

Yep probably after 5pm cst

 

Do the vintage racers pit in any one area for this event?

 

Just returned from Barber.

WHAT AN EVENT.

Well attended with some bad ass, rare and interesting bikes and equally excellent owners and supporters.

Many thanks to Ron & Robin Raven for dreaming this up, funding it and pouring heart and soul into making it actually happen in a hugely fun and successful way.

Many thanks to Evelyn and WERA for enabling Ron & Robin and being willing to take the chance and provide the venue and opportunity for this to happen. The other vintage racing org in the USA would not have ben so accommodating, and there's no way the program would have run as smoothly as WERA regularly accomplishes its weekends.

And, thanks to the Barber Museum and support staff for being a part of this grand scheme concocted by Ron & Robin & Evelyn & WERA. Nowhere else . . . .

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this great event.

Cheers,

Dave

 

Yes great event.. Great to see everyone.. Just got home myself.. Mitch was hurting and cramping before his last race.. Glad I was able to go with him and help load all 5 of his bikes, displays, 27 stands, 3000 lb generator etc..LoL.. Man was it friggin Hot. I ended up driving him home and he was in some serious pain. Hope he gets well.

Big Thanks again for Dave Brooks fr bringing that RMZ down from Kentucky..sorry I didn’t get to say later Dave but I was kinda busy...

 

Oh and BTW the trophy’s for that were the best I have ever seen... The base of them was a piece of the old track... simply kick ass...

 

Sooo much fun, my hat off to Ron for doing such a great job ! Also, to WERA for giving him a chance to put on a great show!!!! Also, to Barber staff for all the help they provided. No issues with riders, I think all bikes ran well and finished the race , just a great time at a beautiful track.... O Yea.... Ron’s beer is Awesome.......

 

I forgot to mention Ron's beer . . . the Irish Red is among the best I've had.

Cheers,

Dave

 

Yes, it was a grand day out. First time on the track in two years, so a little stiff, but the hejira is still in one piece. The event, the bikes, the staff, the trophies, the friends, it was all magnificent.

 

Great time for sure! Thanx Ron, Robin, WERA and The Barber Museum!

 

Great weekend!!!

thanks to everybody who put this together I had a great time, the race was great fun on the little 550 I got to ride
