From a press release issued by WERA:

HISTORY IN THE MAKING

WERA Motorcycle Roadracing and Barber Motorsports Park made history this past weekend when WERA hosted the first sanctioned motorcycle road race at Barber Motorsports Park. George Barber did his homework and has created the most formidable facility in the U.S. The landscaping, art, buildings, amenities and the entire racetrack itself are superb.

Three hundered plus WERA riders tackled the new venue with WERA Vintage rider #50 Joe Pomeroy, from Simpsonville, SC taking the first checker flag in a motorcycle race at Barber Motorsports Park on Saturday. Many other riders would take their first checker at the facility and all left with a great experience under their belt. The weekend was safe and the racing was great with 50+ grids taking the green flag and running six laps for sprints and 14 for Solo events.

The staff at Barber Motorsports Park goes the extra mile and the WERA Officials, Corner Workers and most of all racers went their extra mile to make for a great first weekend of motorcycle road racing!
