Couldn't agree more...Had the good fortune to stop there last fall on our way to the FloriBama area. What a phenomenal place..and I thought Wheels Through Time was awesome!

I am also from Birmingham and woke up this morning to discover my boys had me 4 tickets to the race for fathers day. After 22, this was my best fathers day yet! I had never been to any kind of race before, and really didn't expect to enjoy it. But was I ever wrong. It was great! For an hour we walked around and bike watched - which was great - then we had pit passes so we checked out the racing bikes up close, and the riders. Then the Vance and Hines sponsored XR1200 race, then the sport bikes. One of the XR1200's had a bad crash, but they sure were fun to watch. I want one!
