BARBER MOTORSPORTS PARK TO HOST
4th ANNUAL BARBER VINTAGE FESTIVAL OCTOBER 17-19
Birmingham, AL (October 14, 2008) - The Barber Motorsports Park will host
the 4th Annual Barber Vintage Festival this weekend, October 17-19. The Festival
is one of the largest in the nation and features a number of attractions for
motorcycle fans of all ages.
The main attraction features vintage road racing, motocross, time trials and
cross country competition in association with the American Historic Racing
Motorcycle Association (AHRMA). Additional attractions include one of the country's
largest motorcycle swap meets, demo rides from Ducati and Triumph, an air show
by the AeroShell Aerobatic Team, a stunt show by Rhett Rotten's "Wall
of Death" and several demos of the motorcycles in the Barber Vintage Motorsports
Museum collection.
"We really look forward to seeing this event grow and become the best
in the country," said Jeff Ray, Executive Director of the Barber Vintage
Motorsports Museum. "Being the world's largest motorcycle museum and home
to a world class race track, it is only fitting that we bring the best gathering
of vintage motorcycle enthusiasts to Birmingham. Our goal is to have more activities
happening daily during the event than any one person could take part in."
Also new to the festival this year is "Motorcycles by Moonlight presented
by Ducati," a charity dinner benefiting the Barber Vintage Motorsports
Museum. The evening will feature a seated dinner, a silent auction and a presentation
by guest of honor, Cook Nielson, who delivered Ducati their first Daytona 200
win in 1977.
Park admission includes all events (tickets to the Barber Vintage Motorsports
Museum are sold separately). Three-day tickets are $35 in advance, $45 at the
gate. Single-day tickets for Saturday or Sunday are $20 in advance, $25 at
