BMWMOAL June 2012 Meeting and the 2012 Barber SuperBike Classic ~ June 22–24
Barber Motorsports Park will once again play host to the stars of AMA Pro Road Racing. The event, scheduled for June 22-24, 2012, will mark the tenth consecutive year that the series will visit the picturesque 2.38-mile natural road course in Birmingham, Alabama.
Fans will witness thrilling doubleheader action in AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike, AMA Pro Daytona SportBike and AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport, while the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series will battle it out in a single race format.
There are three teams riding BMW's in this years Superbike Series. These include Foremost Insurance Racing with Larry Pegram on a BMW S1000RR; Evan Steel Performance Racing with Jake Holden on a BMW S1000RR; and Liberty Waves Racing with Eric Pinson on a BMW S1000RR.
The BMWMOAL will be gathering at the "Courtyard 25" Oyster Bar and Grill at 53707 hwy 25, Vandiver, AL 35176. No reservations are needed for tent camping. For cabin reservations, call (205) 672-3335 or go to http://www.cy-25.com/index.html.
The ride from Courtyard-25 to Barbers is (according to MapQuest) 25 mins / 12.53 miles. It takes me about 15-20 minutes, but traffic can back up at the entry into Barbers. To see the map, look here http://mapq.st/K1vPjO.
Attendance at the Races at Barbers is not mandatory, but those intending to go will need to secure access to the event. Tickets can be purchased online from Barbers at https://events.cuetoems.com/ama/OnlineTicketSales.aspx ... Another option is to do some volunteer work for Barbers and work a shift or two at the races. There is a fee for the volunteer program, but the benefits far exceed the normal ticket admission. If you're interested in volunteering - go to this web address http://barbermotorsports.com/park/vo...nformation.php. The Race Series is sponsored by the National Guard, and those with a National Guard military I.D. card were allowed free entry for them and a guest last year, but I haven't yet been able to confirm if that will also happen again this year.
The weather will probably be like any other June in Alabama. It will be warm to hot, with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. You will need to wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and sunscreen! Umbrella's double for both rain and shade. Also try to stay hydrated!
Courtyard 25 has their own restaurant providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, ~ and Barber's has vendors on-site also providing food and drinks during the race events.
