In the News from the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association Barber Motorsports Park; Leeds, AL October 6-9, 2016 PADDOCK
A Southern Gentleman and his Museum G eorge Barber had a dream - to have a place to drive race cars and ride motorbikes in his own state, create a parklike setting around it, and give back to his community. Barber Motorsports Park is a dream come true. Mr. Barber was racing sports cars in Europe back in the 1970s, when his father died suddenly. He had no choice but to give up his passion for racing and focus on running the family business Barber Dairy Company. Staying true to his love of motor vehicles, Barber began collecting and restoring classic cars in 1989, but his interest soon turned to motorcycles. He decided to race some of his vintage motorcycles and put together a race team to represent Barber Dairies. It was the spark for the Barber collection, whose mission was to reflect the history of motorcycles from a global perspective. The Barber Vintage Motorsports Race Team in the pits. This racing effort brought the Barber Team seven National Championships with AHRMA. 2 Fast forward to 2003 and after many years of hard work and planning, George Barber s dream of a place for his love of motorsports came to fruition. Barber Motorsports Park is a world-renowned facility and hosts a number of world-class motorsports events such as the AMA Superbike Classic, IMSA sports cars, Legends of Motorsports, kart racing and the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama. The spectator-friendly circuit is set within a perfectly manicured and sculpted landscape with heavily wooded surroundings that is second to none.
Race instructors teach racers of all levels Start your adventure in racing today. The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum is located on the premises of the lovely Barber Motorsports Park, and in its current form houses 1400+ motorcycles. It is considered the largest motorcycle museum in the world, with the greatest vintage Lotus racecar collection in N. America. With over 7000 motorcycle books and more, the Barber Museum Research Library & Archives contains one of the largest collections of motorcycle literature in the world. A new, 84,000-square-foot expansion including a space for temporary exhibits, an outdoor terrace and a large glass atrium will be open soon, bringing the total size of the museum to over 250,000 square feet. Barber said the museum expansion will allow visitors to see more of the racetrack from the building. We re all really excited about it, he said. It s going to be a great addition for us. A new pedestrian bridge, completed in April 2015, now connects the museum to the track s infield. Jeff Ray, the museum s executive director, said it won t be any trouble to fill the expansion. We have many motorcycles in storage, and we are constantly adding to the collection, he said. There are four disciplines of AHRMA competition at this year s Barber Vintage Festival roadracing, trials, cross country and vintage motocross. On the roadracing side, motorcycles of all ages, displacements and brands are showcased; we even have sidecars and a taste of the future with electric-powered emotoracing bikes. Take a walk through the paddock to see all of the bikes up-close and visit with our motorbike pilots, who range in age from newbies in their 20s to experienced veterans in their 80s. This weekend of vintage motorcycle racing will undoubtedly renew your excitement for these historical machines, while providing lively competition for all.

27 years on It s still about the bikes In January of 1989, the paperwork was drafted, and the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association, Ltd., became the member-owned, not-for-profit organization that we know today. In 2014, we celebrated our Silver Jubilee that s right, we ve been providing ontrack classic-bike competition now for 27 years! On the roadracing side, our program showcases everything from the pre-1940 bikes dominated in this country by American iron (but also open to the exotic European, even supercharged machinery), all the way up to the early- 90s Superbikes. It s a grand selection of genuinely-historic machinery, displayed on the track by very-talented Clubman riders, super-accomplished National-caliber pilots, former factory-backed riders, and even World Champions. In addition to the classic classes, AHRMA offers the country s best selection of alternative modern racing, including Sound of Singles, Battle of Twins, and Sound of Thunder motorcycles. And, yet another alternative type of racing, we re hosting a class of cutting-edge electric bikes! Our celebration tour visits 10 of the country s greatest venues, and will be experienced by tens of thousands of enthusiasts. For riders who prefer to do it in the dirt, AHRMA s comprehensive off-road program features vintage motocross, post vintage motocross, cross country, observed trials and dirt track racing. There will be over 90 races this season, all across the country, in a wide array of styles AHRMA s racing series cover it all! As we look back on the 27 years of AHRMA, we have to thank the many people who have made massive contributions to making it happen. From top to bottom, this is certainly a volunteer-based operation, and it can t be done without each and every one of them. 12
Our main function remains the same: Educating the people, while showcasing the greatest, most-interesting motorcycles on Earth, typically at speed, with riders who want to do it the old-fashioned way. Folks who might have missed the experience the first time around are still treated to the sights, sounds and smells of yesteryear at each of our events. Amazingly, just over a quarter-century has passed, but we re running forward with as much gusto as ever. Grand Marshal at the 2016 Barber Vintage Festival is Colin Edwards. He was 250cc US National roadracing champion, twotime World Superbike champion and a veteran of 12 seasons of MotoGP racing. Edwards (right) currently runs the Texas Tornado Boot Camp, located 40 miles north of Houston. 13
