Year of Skip Barber continues at Lime Rock Park

SALISBURY — Lime Rock Park raised nearly $2,000 for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.

The fundraiser was part of an event for the dedication of “The Barber Shop,” during the Speed Tour AllStar Race Weekend July 19 and 20.

Formerly the Lime Rock Gear Shop, the Barber Shop was transformed to honor racer Skip Barber with new signage and a working barber’s pole.

The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is a non-profit started by Paul Newman in 1988. The camp provides children with severe illnesses and their families fun, free activities year-round.

The Barber Shop will be open again Aug. 16 to 18 for GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends. Fans can purchase commemorative “Year of Skip Barber” t-shirts and memorabilia at the Barber Shop or online at limerockgear.com
