The Barber Pro Series, a racing series based on identically prepared
single-seat racing cars, debuts a new powerplant at this weekend's Miami
season-opener.
For the first nine years of its history the cars were powered by
turbocharged four-cylinder engines but for
1995 the cars will use normally-aspirated 3.5 liter
Dodge V6 engines producing aprox. 250 horsepower.
A unique aspect of this series is that all the cars are owned and
prepared by a single entity, the Skip Barber Pro Series, and drivers
enter races on a subscription basis. The idea behind the series is that
since all the cars are capable of equal performance driving talent will
be the deciding factor in each contest. The series runs as a supporting
race at major IMSA, SCCA, Indycar and NASCAR events; races are televised
on a delayed basis on ESPN.
