John Barringer was an American driver active mainly in the mid‑1970s, competing in Formula Super Vee, the USAC Mini‑Indy Series, IMSA, and CASC events. His hometown is listed as Baltimore, Maryland, though no birth date or death date appears in any available racing archives. Between 1975 and 1978, he entered at least 27 races across several series, driving cars such as the Lola T324 and Chevron B34, usually for Bill Scott Racing. His best recorded finishes were mid‑field results, including 14th and 15th place runs in 1976, but he never scored a win, podium, pole position, or fastest lap. His career is characterized by persistence rather than major success. Barringer consistently competed in developmental and ladder‑series events but struggled to break into higher‑level results, often finishing toward the back of the field. No major accidents, championships, or notable failures are documented, suggesting a modest but steady presence in American junior‑formula racing during that era.Collection
