History
[edit | edit source]In 1975, Skip Barber started the Skip Barber School of High Performance Driving at Riverside International Raceway.[2] In 1976, it was renamed the Skip Barber Racing School. Despite selling the school in 1999, Barber was the owner of Lime Rock Park from 1984 to April 2021.
On May 22, 2017, the school filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[3][4]
On December 19, 2017, the school was acquired by DeMonte Motorsports.[5]
On March 22, 2024, the school announced that it has acquired the Superstar Racing Experience with plans for a 2024 season.[6] In August, however, the sale was reported to have fallen through, resulting in SRX management filing a lawsuit.[7]
In popular culture
