2008 Cherokee Audi Club at Barber Motorsports

Barber Motorsports Park

About this event

November 1 - 2, 2008: Barber Motorsports Park -
Cherokee Audi Club will return to Barber Motorsports Park, November 1 - 2, 2008.

In 2006, the Cherokee Audi Club was honored to host the 22nd Annual Frank Beddor Nationals - the ACNA's National convention for the year - at Barber Motorsports Park.

Audi enthusiasts from all over the country converged on this spectacular facility just outside of Birmingham, Alabama and after an incredible weekend, vowed to return in 2007. Return we did in 2007 and are permanently smitten.

Our return will again be on the 1st weekend of November to experience one of the finest motorsports facilities in the country. Featuring 2.3 miles of twisting asphalt, 45 feet wide throughout with 16 turns and 80 feet of elevation change the track can only be described as a roller coaster! The grounds also include the famous Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum with over 80,000 square feet of vintage cars and motorcycles.

If the past 2 years are any indication, perfect weather and beautiful autumn colors await us! Visit our website at www.CherokeeAudiClub.com for updates and information on this event.
