The spot in your first picture is one of my favorites. Go blasting up that hill - foot to the floor - and let the car (in my case) drift over to the left side of the track completely on it's own after cresting that hill. Then come back over to the right and brake like crazy for the hairpin. Man, that's fun.

I think the "problem" with Barber is that it is a relatively tight track with no place to really relax. When you're learning the track, the blind apexes and reducing radius turns require a lot of attention and planning and once you get moving quickly, you're always busy. It's like a really big, beautiful autocross course with lots of elevation change. I can only imagine that - in Indy cars - it is much worse since things are happening much faster.
