Skip Barber Racing School Files For Bankruptcy

This isn't good news. My first driving school was a Formula Ford class back in the 90's at Sears Point raceway.

Who else has taken a driving class from Skippy?

Me too! Sears Point about 95, I think.

Had a great time!

One guy, not so much. He put two wheels off on the last fast right sweeper before the pit in, jerked it back on the track, hit the tire wall that lined the back half of the old drag strip tower on the other side of the track. Looked terrible. ...like really bad, but he was fine.

My hands were so tired the last day, the steering wheel just kinda vibrated back and forth while I tried to grip it.

Jerry Seinfeld had one of their stickers on the fridge of his apartment in the TV show, you can see it if you look for it. I think he wrote off a car in real life at the school.

I was there and saw that......very ugly looking wreck, but they flipped the car over and drove it back to the paddock!
