Barber Motorsports Park, Leeds, AL – October 8-11, 2015
Sweet Dreams
G
at Barber
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.
Barber Dairies started in the 1930s. The dairy housed a large ice
plant, which produced enough ice to keep the pasteurized milk,
buttermilk, butter, cottage cheese and other dairy products cold
on company delivery trucks. As the oldest dairy in Alabama,
Barber Dairies has a respected history of delivering the best in
dairy products in Alabama and parts of Mississippi,
Georgia and Florida.
Above, Barber Dairies milk truck and advertisement. At right, George Barber waves the green flag at
Barber Motorsports Park. Below, The Barber Vintage
Motorsports Race Team in the pits. This racing effort
brought the Barber Team seven National Championships with AHRMA.
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 collection
soon grew out of its space
in an old warehouse in
Birmingham and needed a
new home.
Fast forward to 2003 and after many years of hard
work and planning Geroge 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
2
Do Come True
Motorsports Park
spectator-friendly circuit is set within a perfectly manicured and
sculpted landscape with heavily wooded surroundings that is
second to none.
The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in its current form is
located on the premises of the lovely Barber Motorsports Park,
and now currently 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.
Our AHRMA races at Barber Motorsports park are divided up in
many ways – roadracing, cross country, vintage motocross and
trials events. On the roadracing side, the age of the motorcycles,
displacement, brands, even sidecars and a taste of the future
with electric-powered eMotoRacing bikes, are all showcased.
Take a walk through the paddock to see all of the bikes up-close.
Our motorbike pilots range in age from “newbies” in their 20s
to experienced veterans in their 70s.
This weekend of vintage motorcycle racing will undoubtedly
renew excitement for these historical machines, while providing
lively competition for all.

Daring
duos
Sidecars will be screaming around the racetrack, with
passengers, sometimes called ‘monkeys’ leaning off their
bikes for balance and added traction. They will be on
track as the final race each day.

Old Technology Meets New with CPL
AHRMA racer Luke Conner is
the founder of CPL Systems,
Inc., a resource conservation

those companies’ plants.
CPL Systems is the AHRMA Historic Cup
National Roadrace Series sponsor
Luke promotes and supports many of the AHRMA races through Old Farts Racing, and typically
brings eight (or so) motorcycles to the track to be
raced by the likes of Barbara Conner, Gary Swan,
Thad Wolff, Derek Stoot, Max Flinders, Tim Ivanoff,
and many others. OF machinery includes a 1948
Harley WR, 1954 Harley KHK, 1956 Harley KHK,
2011 Harley XR1200, 2009 Triumph Thruxton, 1976

Doug Polen for over three years on her race
craft. Barbara is sporting the white #96 Harley

SCOTT TURNER BARBER VINTAGE FESTIVAL 2014
11
26 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-forprofit organization that we know today. In 2014, we
celebrated our Silver Jubilee – that’s right, we’ve been
providing on-track classic-bike competition now for 26
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
12
country’s
best selection
of alternative
modern racing,
including Sound of Singles,
Battle of Twins
and Sound of Thunder motorcycles. And, new for the
2014 season, we’re hosting an exhibition class of cuttingedge 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 26 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.
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.
Race instructors

racing today.
AHRMA’s Grand Marshal at the 2015 Barber Vintage
Festival is former factory Britten racer Andrew Stroud. See
the Hagerty Insurance-sponsored Britten display near the
racetrack control tower, join
Stroud for lunch on Friday,
and keep an eye on
track for his and
Stephen Briggs’
demonstration laps.

Balance
and Finesse
The goal is to manuver
your bike through tight

off cambers – all without putting your feet
on the ground. Trials
motorcycle riding is a
unique sport, challenging the riders’ balance
and throttle control.
Riders will be starting
their event at 9:00am
Saturday in Lot C.
