SKIP BARBER and other racers in THE REST OF THE STORY

 

(Great Barrington, Mass.) – Legendary racecar driver and racing educator Skip Barber, owner of Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Conn., will be joined by several other racers to discuss the appeal and attraction of driving fast in “Hot Wheels,” part of Berkshire Living’s award-winning Rest of the Story series of free public forums, on Sunday, August 22, at 11 a.m., at the Triplex Cinema in Great Barrington.

 

 

Other participants in the discussion include John Fitch (legendary racer, engineer and former track manager), Sam Posey (legendary racer, author, broadcaster and designer), and Murray Smith (noted advertising executive, promoter, and vintage race car driver). Attendees will view some rarely seen footage of the first year of racing at Lime Rock in 1957 as well as a photo slideshow. In addition, there will be a display of vintage race cars outside the theater.

 

 

An outgrowth of “Fast Times at Lime Rock Park,” an article about the Northwest Connecticut racing park in the August issue, the event, which Berkshire Living senior editor Amanda Rae Busch, who wrote the story, will be moderated by editor-in-chief Seth Rogovoy and will feature a question-and-answer session.

 

 

Each month, Berkshire Living, a regional lifestyle and culture magazine, and the Triplex join forces to present “The Rest of the Story,” free public forums based on an article running in the concurrent issue of the magazine. The series just won its fourth award for Community Service from the National City and Regional Magazine Association.
