When his racing career ended, Barber's belief that auto racing was "coachable" in the same manner as any other sport—at the time, a distinctly minority position—led him to create the eponymously named racing school, and a year later the equal-car race series.
Cando terminou a súa andaina nas carreiras, a crenza de Barber de que as carreiras de automóbiles eran "accesibles" do mesmo xeito que calquera outro deporte, na época, unha opción claramente minoritaria, levouno a crear a escola de carreiras nomeada eponimamente e, un ano máis tarde, a serie de carreiras de automóbiles.
