On a sunny October afternoon in Leeds, Alabama, a fleet of vintage dirt bikes idle in a pasture edged with dense forest.
“Ten seconds!” a man shouts. The riders adjust their helmets. Engines buzz like cicadas. A man in the distance whips a flag in the air and the riders are off. They rocket down a grassy knoll and disappear beyond the treeline.
Every year, tens of thousands of vintage motorcycle enthusiasts converge at the Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham for the annual Barber Vintage Festival. The three-day race event includes road race, motocross, dirt track, trials and cross-country.
