Robert Pandya, communications director for Barber Motorsports joins us in our mobile studio to give us some background on the museum and race track.

Robert Pandya, the communications director at the Barber Vintage Motor Sports in Birmingham, Alabama, provides a verbal tour of the museum and racetrack. Founded by George W. Barber, the museum houses over 1,800 #motorcycles and 140 cars, including the largest #Lotus racing and sports car collection in the world. Visitors can access the track and even witness races. The museum is not just a place to view exhibits but also has a full restoration shop. The museum's unique perspective on the racetrack includes dedicated bridges offering a unique view of the races. The museum is open to the public and run by volunteers. Robert shares his personal experience of discovering the museum after working on Jeff Nash's racing crew. George Barber's vision was to create the world's greatest motorcycle museum, inspired by the "Art of the Motorcycle" exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The museum's spiral architecture design and commitment to enthusiasm and the right way of doing things make it a must-visit destination for motorcycle enthusiasts. The Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, sits on 240 acres of the almost 900-acre property and has room to grow. The European-style track, designed by George Barber and racing legends like Colin Chapman and Sir John Surtees, is a crown jewel in the US racing scene. The park's welcoming atmosphere and lack of grandstands encourage visitors to explore the property. Robert discusses the shift from focusing on the machines in a museum to telling the stories behind them. He encourages people to make the museum a tradition and appreciate the commercial development aspects of the site. The hosts express their fondness for the city's political history and fantastic food, inviting viewers to visit and appreciate the great hosts and rich history of the place.
