Default 4/15/06 Ala. SCCA HPX Track Day at Barber only $250

Registration is now open for the Alabama Region SCCA's High Performance Driving Experience (HPX) which will be held on Saturday, April 15th at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala. Novices and non-SCCA members welcome. Early Registration is $250 (by March 31st) and $275 after March 31st. We encourage early entry. Credit Cards or checks are accepted.
The event goal is to give each run group four 25 minute sessions (100minutes of track time). Sorry no convertibles (but a miata with a hard top is fine or a car with a retractable hardtop). In-car instruction will be provided with open passing in the advanced group. Begin registration by going to http://www.myautoevents.com for the event which is listed as:
http://www.myautoevents.com/pl...25079
(myautoevents charges a small processing fee)

The entry packet which is linked at my autoevents.com can be found at the following link to answer any questions on additional details, rules, and forms to be submitted:
http://www.alscca.org/pde041506.html

Barber Motorsports Park is one of the premier road racing facilities in North America with its technical layout and constant elevation changes. The track is easy on the tires too. For track details go to http://www.barbermotorsports.com

We are looking for qualified instructors. There is a small fee for instructors of $50. Potential intstructors should sign up at myautoevents.com and fill out the instructor application packet to advise us of your qaulifications. We expect the instructor group to fill up quick.

This is an awesome price for a track event at this facility. Entries are limited. Hope to see you there!!

It all depends on which region would be your home region. The best thing to do is go to www.scca.com and then go to the region locator to see which region you would belong to. Contact national SCCA at that web site and ask them for how much are the dues.

Well everyone has their personal preferences. Barber is a technical track but does not have the long straights of maybe Road Atlanta or Road America but it does have several complexes of interlinked turns with constant elevation changes that requires you to adjust to weight transference going on almost all the time. While some love Road America some say they don't like the fact that the turns don't interlink. Barber is a very "busy" track. You don't get much time to take a break and look at your gauges.

Don't get me wrong. I'd love to drive Barber.The facilities look gorgeous. I do not care for long straights and prefer technical tracks. Anyone can go fast on a straight.
