Indy Car’s visiting Barber next weekend

Indy car series logo - Barber Motor SportsA flyer is making the rounds online announcing the Indy Racing League‘s only preseason road course test – at the Barber Motorsports Park – next weekend, March 21-24.  Apparently a good showing during the three-day test would go a long way towards bringing Indy racing to the Birmingham area in 2010. That shouldn’t be too hard to accomplish considering IRL champ Scott Dixon, Marco Andretti and Danica Patrick are among the drivers scheduled to be here.

The flyer contains information about getting tickets for the event with a discount to car club members, which is why we’re showing you the details posted on the Barber website.

Let’s say you want to be part of a mob of close to 6,000 Ford Mustangs as part of a 6-day cross-country trip commemorating the 45th anniversary of the classic sportscar

Well, in our case it would be two cross-county trips – one to get to Las Vegas, NV by next April 10 and then the one to get back here by April 16 to take part in what will be the largest Ford Mustang show ever. Registration opens this April 17, giving you a year to get ready.
