Round #8 Barber Motorsports Park The Bridgestone/WERA National Endurance and the Michelin/WERA National Sprints move into the beautiful Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, Alabama over the September 19th through 21st weekend with racing on all three days. Friday will have practice in the morning and then in the afternoon the six make-up Michelin/WERA National races from Round #7 at Summit Point will take the track. Saturday will see the Bridgestone/WERA National Endurance Teams take the track. Vesrah Suzuki is leading the points overall, but the Class Points in Mediumweight Superbike are undecided with Zyvax Racing having a small points lead over Wikle Racing and in the Lightweight Class former champs Ghetto Customs are running a close second to Cycle Specialties Racing. With one more round to go these teams will be doing their best to take a Class Win this weekend to set a cushion for the final round at Road Atlanta next month. Sunday will have the full slate of classes running the Michelin/WERA National Challenge Series starting at Noon. Some of the riders who are pre-entered for Sunday’s action include David Anthony from California, Tiras Banks from Arizona, Tim Bemisderfer from Pennsylvania, The young guns Nick McFadden from Kentucky, Garrett Gerloff from Alabama, Brett and Payton Sassaman from Georgia and Miles Thornton from Alabama. The competition will be stout for this round and all those riders wanting to meet the qualification to participate at the Grand National Finals in the National Series will have to enter this Barber Round. Camping is available at Barber Motorsports Park and tickets will be available at the gates all weekend. Round #9 will run in conjunction with the WERA Grand National Finals at Road Atlanta over the October 8th through 12th weekend. Check out wera on the web at www.wera.com for more information.
