George Barber Passed Away

[11Budlite]

Just heard of the passing of George Barber of the Barber Motorsports Park and Museum. What a beautiful facility, track, and grounds. I've had the pleasure of spending time in the museum and would love to do a track day there at some point. If you've never been there, you owe it to yourself to visit and spend some time in the museum. What a collection of Lotus cars they have on display there. Thanks George, may you RIP.

Sorry to hear about this. I did a Porsche school there and yes the track is glorious. I did not get as much time as I wanted at the museum though. The grounds are spectacular too. Mr. Barber was quite a visionary.

Many years of AHRMA motorcycle racing at Barber. The facility and museum are amazing.  Mr. Barber used to walk around the paddock to talk to us.  He was primarily concerned with how he could make the event better for us and spent significant time listening to some of our friends.  I was sorry to hear of his passing but glad I got to share in both his passions for lotus and motorcycles.
