Factory tour, museum stuff (inc. Barber motorsports) and a bit of track time. I’ve heard it’s an amazing trip. Unfortunately I have to get up at 3am at the very latest to catch my 5:20am flight. Best part? All expenses paid. Because “work”.

They have some great stuff in the lobby of that factory. I’m not saying what, but any OPPO is bound to loose their mind. Also Barbers has a great combination of track/museum/scenery. I will do a track day there sometime. I’ve been on track, just not on anything with a motor.

I’ve heard some great things. Nothing terribly specific though. I think some of the track stuff were doing is at Barber’s, nothing real fast or crazy though, and definitely not on the main track if it is there.

Ah, Tuscaloosa! I never got to go.
Still see posts on facebook from my friends at the QEC making trips once and a while.
Must be rough.

Definitely rough. Don’t know if I’ll survive.

Ah Mercedes product immersion. I left the dealer two weeks before I was scheduled to go. It remains the one thing I wish I had gotten to do. Enjoy!

You’re basically doing everything that there is to do that’s car related in the Birmingham area it seems like, have fun. The Barber museum is epic, so is the factory, and I’m incredibly jealous that you get to go on track.
One day. One day...

Very cool, looking forward to hear about it.

If you get the chance go into the museum itself. I know next to nothing about motorcycles but I've spent hours in there. It's very very cool.

Very very minor track stuff. Skid pad, auto x, and some light off road stuff. Possibly more, but I don’t know.

If they do let you or on course, just be careful of Tunnel Hill (T12 to T13).
If you don’t hit that square, prepare for the suspension unloading.
(Oh, and “Hi” since I took a break from Oppo)

I’ll probably get around to it. I’ve been to the reddit one. Who knows where everyone will actually go, hopefully all the same place.
