SPECTATORS
All-access / all-weekend spectator pass is $30 at the gate; spectator pass covers race days and pre-race test & inspection day.
CODE 35
For this event, Barber is implementing its own rule called Code 35 for certain on-track rescue operations. If the fire-rescue truck is deployed, they will display a special Code 35 flag, and all cars on track must reduce speed to 35mph. It's essentially a full-course yellow with a speed limit. This is only for more serious incidents like crashes, fires, etc.--flat-tows for crapped out cars will be covered with local yellow flags like normal. We'll revisit this at the drivers' meeting on site, but we just wanted to give you the heads up.
