I'm about 60% right now. I've put in for the vacation time, but haven't registered yet, partly due to funding.

Re: Barber 2012
I'm undecided. I want to hit all 3 out-of-town tracks this year, but I'm not sure if I can swing it vacation-wise. So I'm torn whether I want to do Barber again, or drop it off the list since I've done it and do the other two.
Re: Barber 2012
I want to go but won't know till it gets closer, which may be a problem for me if it books up.
I haven't been up north to visit the folks in a few years so I really need to go back this summer, so I have to juggle my vacation time.

Re: Barber 2012
While not real plesent, Barber can be done with only one vaccation day used. Or two half days, half Friday and half Monday.

Re: Barber 2012
Yeah, if you want to do the dragon as well. Even less people sounded like they were going to make the dragon this year so I've basicaly wrote it off as not happening. Again though, if anyone wants to go, I'll do that as well. If a group of us are going to make the dragon trip, and want to get one of the houses we've done in the past we should probably be making reservations in the near future. Might also want to check with the guys over at HPC and see if anyone there is going again this year and split a house with them.

I can just about gaurantee Brian from HPC will be going again. He probably already has a house booked. The vacation I put in for includes the following week, so I'm game for hitting the mountain roads of NC & TN.

Re: Barber 2012
We plan on going to WV this summer in the middle of July (between track days because I am working and so is he) to see the folks. I want him to do Barber but he is unsure if we will have the money for it once we drop the cash to drive back there. I think the biggest cost to the trip is gas but we definitely can not afford plan tickets for 5 plus take the bikes via plane either so we are stuck with driving and hauling the motorcycles back with us (as long as we can afford to rent a trailer or purchase one beforehand). If we could go back to WV during the school year without the kids missing days, we would prefer do that. But the only time the kids are out of school long enough to not miss any days, is December (we don't want to get stuck there because of snow storms ). So, July works or August usually.
If he goes to Barber, I can't see him just going to the track. I think he should stay and do the Dragon as well. But that is just me. Just my opinion.

Re: Barber 2012
I'd like to get registerd for this no later then the end of May. I don't really want to register though if no one else has, I'd rather not go by myself, just not as much fun.
You all think you'll know for sure one way or the other by the end of the month?

Re: Barber 2012
My problem is the timing. I'm almost certain that I'm going to be able to make it, but I'm not certain that there will be slots left over by the time I have the cash for it.
