Barber Historics featuring Lotus
Historic Car Racing Returns to Barber Motorsports Park
Historic car racing will return to the beautiful Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, as the Historic Motor Sports Association (HMSA) will bring some of the finest in historic automobiles for on-track completion, including drivers from Historic F1 and Trans Am. This event will follow the Barber Vintage Festival model that has grown in the last ten years to become one of the largest vintage motorcycle festivals in the country.
While the track will be active all weekend, the grounds will also be abuzz with activity. The famous Barber Car Corral will take place, in addition to a sports/racing car ordinated swap meet, filled with all kinds of goodies for your automobile/automobilia needs.
Practice on track, the car corral and swap meet will begin on Friday, along with the Mountain Brook Car Rally, where many of the drivers will take their race cars from Barber Motorsports Park to Mountain Brook Village for a celebration. For information on the rally, swap meet or car corral, contact John Viviani, jviviani@barbermuseum.org or 205-702-8718. For information on the racing portion, contact HMSA at 818-249-3515 or www.hmsausa.com. Tickets, camping and RV spots for the event will go on sale in early 2015, so stay tuned to www.barbermotorsports.com for more information.
In the meantime, SAVE THE DATE for the Barber Historics featuring Lotus taking place, at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama!
