FIRST PERSON/OPINION: This just in, via e-mail: Regarding the article written on 11/18/02 by Michael Hannas about his visit to the Barber Motorsports Park: The facility is everything, and more, as he stated. But, as the Project Manager for the glass contractor on the Museum I feel I must clear up the comment about the glass replacement on the Museum Building. “All” of the glass was not replaced. Only about 15 pieces of glass were installed as Mock-up pieces of glass for the sole purpose of letting the people with the Barber organization view it before ordering the huge quantity of glass required for the job. It is true that the mock-up glass was not up to their expectations. Another glass supplier was brought in that has produced acceptable glass and we are installing the glass now. Just wanted to put an end to one of the many over-exaggerated rumors coming out of that project. Scott Padgitt Alabaster, Alabama
