The Saab-Skip Barber Racing Series known as the “Barber Pro Series” began with Bob Sinclair, former Saab-Scania of America, Inc. President in 1986.

This series ran from 1986 until 1993, when the new President of Saab Automobile USA Jim Crumlish, replaced Bill Kelly.

To learn more about the Skip Barber racing series, I strongly urge you to watch a number of the videos here covering a number of venues where this took place. I also suggest you watch the interview I had with Bob Sinclair who discusses this arrangement at the Boston Auto Show back in November of 2007.

The vehicle above, previously stored at the Saab USA Technical Training facility in Wallingford, Connecticut is now part of the Saab Automobile USA Heritage Collection.
