The late George Barber was honored last month at the 21st annual #BarberVintageFestival. Nearly 400 guests attended the “Motorcycles by Moonlight” dinner and silent auction supporting the “Discovery and Innovation Motorsports Fund.” 1/3 📸 Wes Johnson/Sparks Photography
Barber believed motorsports is a powerful platform for student engagement, and this fund, made possible through the generosity of the Linn-Henley Charitable Trust, perpetuates the museum’s leadership role in innovative STEM education. 2/3

“Each year, thousands of students come through this museum,” said Executive Director Brian Case. “Many of them don’t arrive here because they love motorcycles—at least not yet. They come here to discover engineering and design.” 3/3

BVF BTS: @AHRMAVintage “Legacy Laps” were slated for Saturday, October 10, smack-dab in the middle of the 21st annual #BarberVintageFestival. Unfortunately, #HurricaneIsaias had other ideas. The event was rescheduled for Friday and went off without a hitch. 📸 Wes Johnson 1/3
Brian Case led the George Barber tribute portion of this magical mechanical moment in John Surtees’ NART-cloaked Ferrari 158. Lee Clark followed in Barber’s Brabham BT8, with Stephen Mathews on a Matchless G50 and Chuck Huneycutt on the Ducati 750 Sport that Mathews raced. 2/3
#MotoGP Legends Kenny Roberts, Kenny Roberts Jr., and @KevinSchwantz also took part, hustling their way around the @BarberMotorPark road course on an ex-Surtees MV Agusta 500 Four, a Team Roberts KR211V, and a 40th anniversary #Suzuki GSX-R1000R. Magnificent! 3/3
Barber Museum Executive Director Brian Case was the guest on a recent episode of “For The Ride,” the official podcast of @TriumphAmerica. Host Adam VanderVeen and Case covered a lot of ground, including the passing earlier this year of @BarberMotorPark founder George Barber. 1/2
“It’s been devastating this year to have lost our founder. But it is also so inspiring to now fully understand what he has built, what he has put in place as a gift to all, not just for the state of Alabama but for people around the world.” 2/2

"Petrolheads would be silly not to visit the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, home to one of the world’s largest motorcycle collections." It’s also located inside the massive @BarberMotorPark, an 880-acre site with a 17-turn racing circuit ... ."

This year's #BarberVintageFestival celebrated the life of @BarberMotorPark founder George Barber.
“George left a blueprint for us,” said Charles Miller. “‘No job is too small. Nothing is beneath you. Always be curious. And put other people first.’”
