Concours de Competition - July 3, 2021 - Barber

It will be great to see you again. This year's field is larger and more diverse than two years ago when you ran. Last year was very restricted due to Covid. Hopefully this year we can get some spectators. Saturday only tickets will be available at the gate so you and others can come in to see the exhibition. Thanks for your support.

 

Barber track question. Does the track allow racers to stay over Sunday night and leave Monday morning for the drive home? I recently read about a track that does not allow this but I can not remember which track. Calling the track got nowhere.

 

Thanks for the answer Mongo. I'm riding classes in addition to the concours stuff. I'll just have to be more picky about Sunday afternoon.

 

The Third Edition of this event was tremendous. Ron & Robin Raven put on a spectacular event, Evelyn & WERA were excellent, accommodating hosts, and the participants had rare, neat stuff and were fun folks. Even the weather cooperated.

Thank you to Barber Motorsports Museum and WERA for hosting this unique, special and growing happening. And, thank you to Ron & Robin Raven for making this dream a reality, funding it and doing the months and months of work to make it run so smoothly and assure that it is a wonderful time for all.

Cheers,

Dave

 

83BSA said it, great event! Ron and Robin promote vintage racing in a wonderful way. The group of racers and exhibiters are a blast to be around. I have never had this much pit help with my TZ. A big deal to me because I always go to events alone. Everyone is so willing to help. I also had a blast getting into some fun back and forth with other vintage bikes during the concourse race and extra WERA classes that many of us also rode. The concourse event meant there was more vintage riders to race with. This is a good event for all vintage racers to come to just to hang out and ride our old bikes in WERA classes.

Thank you Ron, Robin, Evelyn, WERA and Barber!!

And their pictures are there too!

 

We also set a new record at the post awards hospitality hour: 4 cases of homebrew beer were consumed while the participants told ever more outlandish tales to their new friends. We are going to need help next year. My meager brewing capacity may get overwhelmed.

 

Thanks to Ron, Robin, WERA and the Barber Museum for a great day. Some fantastic bikes on display and on the track in a really relaxed atmosphere. The beer was excellent which made the event even more enjoyable.
