Because the direction it's been going the last 20 years or so has been SO great?

I don't know, maybe we should give the guy a chance

Is that a bad thing?

The USBC brought in someone with "Sports" experience, I don't see this as a bad thing. Plus he has proven he knows how to run a business, another plus. I don't see how this is a bad thing in any way, shape, or form.

This is the outfit that runs Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala., and has the Barber Museum there. The track is a road course that will probably host an IRL event at some point and I'd like to see it draw a NASCAR date. The museum is dedicated mostly to motorcycle history and was such an architectural wonder when it was built that you can get a specialty license plate in Alabama honoring the thing.

However, I don't think they care much about cost containment, which will be a big part of his job at USBC. It's quite expensive to use any of Barber's facilities here.

Post by: ozsweet on July 02, 2009, 09:45:01 AM: I agree with Jess. Having lived in Bham for 7 years, the Barber team was top-notch and being from CT, I know the facility there to be the same.

Can vouch for the man, but business saavy and promotion should be excellent.
