The Driver Suit Blog-Back To Racing School
By David G. Firestone
Some race car drivers are born, other as made. Racing school is a place for driver to hone their skills. John “Skip” Barber III is a former F1 and SCCA driver. While we won 3 SCCA National Championships in a row, his F1 and IndyCar careers were not stellar. After his racing career ended, he taught four students to race in 1975. 45 years later, Skip Barber Racing Schools owns 130 cars and operates at over 30 tracks over North America. They are one of the best-known racing schools of all time.
Fire is an ever present threat in auto racing, including auto racing school. Skip Barber issued suits to their students. These were lightweight, and were inexpensive. This 1980’s-1990’s Pyrotect suit is one example. The suit does show decent use, not surprising for a lightweight suit.The collar has a Velcro closure, and a PYROTECT logo is sewn on the closure. There is nothing inside the cowl.
The right chest features a BOSCH SPARK PLUG patch sewn into the tan material, and a SKIP BARBER RACING SCHOOL patch sewn into the white stripe.
The left chest features a T/A RADIALS BF GOODRICH sewn into the upper tan area, a PYROTECT logo sewn on the black stripe, a BMW patch and a KONI patch sewn into the white stripe, and an EASTERN logo sewn into the lower tan area of the torso.
The warranty label and the wash instructions are located inside the front of the suit.
The belt on the suit is unadorned on the outside, but there are a couple of red patches sewn inside the belt, indicating this suit is number 48.
The tan legs have standard cuffs, and a red stripe.
The shoulders have straps to help pull the driver out of the car in case of a crash.
The right sleeve has PYROTECT and PBI patches sewn into the white stripe. The end of the sleeve is unadorned.
The left sleeve has PYROTECT and PBI patches sewn into the white stripe. The end of the sleeve is unadorned.
The back of the suit shows some wear in the form of stains and scuffs.
The back of the neck is unadorned.
The back torso features a large SKIP BARBER RACING SCHOOL patch sewn into the upper part, and a BF GOODRICH T/A RADIALS patch on the lower part of the torso.
Next week, The Vest Project continues!

The Driver Suit Blog-The Most American of Head Coverings
By David G. Firestone
Going a bit off topic, and on topic at the same time. I don’t think there is any other head covering that is as ubiquitous as the baseball cap. Every major sport markets caps to some extent, some using them on the sidelines or even in play. Baseball caps are a popular item for fans, and collectors alike. Even in auto racing, caps are ever present. Drivers wear them for interviews, and in victory lane. But instead of a racing cap, today, I’m going to discuss a game-worn baseball cap I picked up in St. Louis.
Hailing from Winter Park, Florida, Derek Lilliquist was selected sixth in the 1987 Major League Baseball draft. After some time in the minors, he was called up by the Atlanta Braves in 1989. He was traded to the Padres in 1990, where he lasted until 1991. In 1992, the Indians claimed him off waivers, and as a relief pitcher, he put up career best numbers. He lasted with the Indians until 1994, when he signed with Boston, and he never reclaimed his previous glory. He last played for the Reds in 1996.
In 2002, he became a pitching coach for the Johnson City Cardinals, and by 2011, he was the pitching coach for the St. Louis Cardinals, a position he held until 2017, when he signed with the Nationals, where he was fired at the end of the 2019 season. During his final year with the Cardinals in 2017, he wore this Sunday Alternative hat. This size 7 3/8 MLB authenticated New Era hat shows light use. According to the MLB, this was worn on on April 2 and July 9, 2017.The left side features a NEW ERA flag logo embroidered into the blue material.
The back of this fitted cap features a Cardinals team colored MLB logos embroidered.
The right side is unadorned.
The top of the cap features a red squatchee.
The inside of the cap features light stains.
The underside of the bill features a sticker reading LILLIQUIST #34 to the right of the MLB Authentication.
That was a short one this week, so lets do some…

The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-June 6, 2020
By David G. Firestone
Quin Houff #00 Mane ‘n Tail Chevy Camaro-It’s an ugly, over designed mess. Not even a good color scheme could save this from an F.
Ryan Newman #6 Roush Performance Ford Mustang-I like the new carbon fiber motif. The car looks good, and I give this an A.
JJ Yeley #7 Veteran’s Community Project Chevy Camaro-The fact that the American flag isn’t red, white, and blue is annoying. The rest of the car isn’t bad, but the patriotic motif doesn’t work.
Josh Bilicki #7 Strutmasters Chevy Camaro-This is a much better patriotic motif. It works well, and the car looks great. A
Tyler Reddick #8 Okuma Chevy Camaro-The new changes don’t help or hurt the scheme, and I will give the scheme a D+.
Tyler Reddick #8 ALSCO Uniforms Chevy Camaro–I like a good fade, and the red stripes work well. A
Erik Jones #20 Craftsman Toyota Camry–Same scheme as last year, same A grade.
Matt DiBenedetto #21 Menard’s/Richmond Ford Mustang–Same scheme as last year, same A grade.
Matt DiBenedetto #21 Reese/Drawtite Ford Mustang–It’s a smooth look, with a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.
Corey LaJoie #32 Enlisted Nine/JDog Brands Ford Mustang–The P-51 motif works well, and the car looks great. Metallic silver really is a great color. A
Ryan Preece #37 Bush’s Best Chevy Camaro–Same scheme as last year, same A grade.
Cole Custer #41 Autodesk/HaasTooling.com Ford Mustang–Too many colors, and it’s over designed. This is just a mess. F
Joey Gase #51 Agri Supply/Carolina Cooker Chevy Camaro-The patriotic motif is a bit over designed, otherwise, it’s a great scheme. B
Garrett Smithley #53 Victory Lane/Quick Oil/Kendall Oil Change Chevy Camaro–The car looks good, the checkered flag motif works well, and the red stripe looks great. A
Garrett Smithley #53 DreamGiveaway.com Chevy Camaro–I like the blue laser motif. It works well, and the car looks good. A
JJ Yeley #77 Aquesta Bank Chevy Camaro–Same scheme as last year, same A grade.
BJ McLeod #78 Circle Track Warehouse Chevy Camaro–It has a smooth look, a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.
