Barbie does Barber

Well, what a fantastic event this was and what a venue! I dont know where to start seeing how I got there a day late. I understand it rained on Friday and it was quite chilly all weekend.
The museum is awesome, beyond belief. I really needed another two day to really appreciate everything this motorsport park has to offer.
The track: Yes, Barbie, our beloved 1966 Honda CA77 305 and her "sister" Carmen, a 1963 Norton Electra both got to ride around the track TWICE thanks to the VJMC and the Confederate chapter of AHRMA. What a beautiful track! Swoops and elevation changes galore.Very little straights.
I can see why racers love to race, especially on this track. It really made me appreciate what I am watching on TV when I watch MOTOGP and AMA racing now. Both of the girls loved stretching their legs on this track and really felt special. Special thanks to Brian, the curator of Barber Museum and all around GREAT guy!
The Matchless group was there as well and they took good care of my husband and myself. Ike is a fantastic cook.
The vendors: Lots of em, good stuff and not expensive.We picked up new helmets and a new rain jacket for my husband for $150 total. what a deal!
Hubby got to go on a Ducati test drive. He said it was strapping a 1000cc to a dirt bike. He loved it. Thank you Ducati for the great ride and the espresso!
The park is so large I really didnt get to see it all. I could have used 2 more days to see and appreciate the entire place. All in all it was beautiful and we will go again.
