    Dale & Matt Walksler will Tag team the Barber Motorsports Park with a 1912 Indian Twin & a 1911 Indian Single – Dale has been involved with nearly every one of the ROC events –
    We are happy to see Matt entered this year with his own ride.

    Jack Wells – will be riding a 1912 Abbington King Dick – I have done some homework on this bike and researched his bike on the internet – This is another bike we cannot wait to view in person.

    Dwayne McLemore - has entered his 1911 Levis 220cc – I saw his bike at Davenport and he is ready to bring it to the Barber Vintage Weekend

    We are Still hoping to see the Winner of the very 1st Race of the Century, Bruce Linsday – Bruce won the 1st race in 2005

    We are also confident that the Barber Museum will surely sneak a couple of 1912 models out on the Track .


    If you are interested in bringing a Motorcycle to the event, please e-mail me davidlloyd44@comcast.net

    Please remember, after the race, we are inviting all of the Century Motorcycles to return to the AMCA “Bike Show area” for a display photo and People’s choice Show
    I am looking forward to seeing everyone this year – We want everyone to remember safety First when on the Track – and all riders will have to have D.O.T. helmets while on the Track. Period correct clothing and gear is perfectly fine on the Paddock area.

    Thanks Again

    Leaving for Barber Vintage Weekend tomorrow morning - Still a chance to enter your 1912 or older Motorcycle in the 8th annual Race of the Century.
    We are about to surpass all successful past Century Race Weekends!!!! Our Greatest year at the Barber Vintage ROC was in 2007 with 11 bikes.
    This year, it is looking like we are going to have the most diverse selection of bikes and the largest number of participants.

    Forecast for Leeds also is looking to be Great weather of 70’s and 80’s, with low chances of rain – Let’s hope it stays just like that!

    Still time to call me and get your bike in the Awesome event!
