Default Video Request: Barber Motorsports Park in AL

I would like to preface by saying .RJ is going to probably lock this...

Anyhow, a while back I ran across a video from the new Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham. The video was from a hood mounted camera of a yellow Porsche 911. This is one of the closer tracks to me and I would like to ingrain the ideal line into my head before heading down there. The only thing I've come up with as of recent is one of a bike, which although a good start, I'd like to find something where I dont have to tilt my head around as much .

The bike video for those who care:

Why would i lock it? This is great relevant information since its a new track.

I lock things that are not competition and driving related, like "what suspension should i get my boy said xxx is good for my hatch because i'm thinkin about puttin a b16 in it"

I know RJ , it was my lame attempt at sarcasm. As I find more videos I'll edit my above post to reflect any new finds. Hopefully someone has a few more. I think we all could benefit since this is a relativly new , and quite nice , track.

I'd love to see some footage. Might encourage me to drive down and check it out myself

Video does not do the place justice. You just have to see it for yourself.
We have flagged out there the last few weekends,and all the drivers we have talked to say you have to stay on top of your game at all times. No place to relax, and very technical. The only slight compliants have been from the GTP guys, they can't get past 4th gear. Best times we have seen were 2 weeks ago at the HSR weekend, a MAZDA KUDZOO. 1:21 and change. Hope this helps some.
