Barber Motorsports Museum

[Bubba]

Took a few days off from my grueling retirement schedule to take a road trip south.  Hit the Corvette museum in Bowling Green and then rolled a bit further to Birmingham, AL, to check out the Barber facility.  Best motorsports destination….EVAH!!!

 

Just a few pics to tease you into making the road trip.  Not a bad ride at all--maybe 6.5 hours if you speed just a little….

Two hours west in Tupelo MS is one of the best car museums I have ever seen.

Barber's is amazing.

The race track is on a golf course like property.

I rode a track day there and have seen the museum at Barber.  That place in awesome.

over 600 pictures from their vintage festival and inside the museum that I took back in 2011.

 

Edit: don't think that looking at the pictures will spoil things.  They have 3-4 times as many bikes as what is on display and they rotate the stock to keep the place fresh.
