Photos/Video from Barber Motorsports

Here's some pics and a video I took yesterday at Barber Motorsports Park.

This video is at the exit of the chicane leading to the back straight. You can see what kind of grip these guys get as they try to make the turn onto the straight. Turn your sound up.

Here's a view looking back into the chicane. This the Mustang series - kinda like IROC

A few close ups of the turn out of the chicane. The last guy is up on the curbing so much that he will likely get on the grass a bit. You could watch the line into the that turn and tell if the guy was going to make the turn clean or not. He's not going to.

The new Challenger. Looks pretty cool. The interior looks good too.

Last set. Same view as the video. Here you can see how making the turn out of the chicane on the to back stretch dictates how clean you can enter the straight.

In the first photo, look at the dark blue BMW (car furthest to the left). He's too wide out of the chicane and is going to get in the grass.

In the next picture, you can see his cloud of dust. He's the car just past the dust with a gap between him and the ones further down the straight.

Guys were in that grass all day - quite entertaining.

Thanks again, is that a genuine Daytona Cobra? They are $Million plus cars with only six built.

I didn't talk to the guy so chances are it's a replica if they are that rare. I really didn't know anything about the car until I saw it yesterday.
