Andre Espaillat placed the winning bid of $1325 for a made-to-order set of Barnacle Bill leathers in an auction to benefit the Roadracing World Air Fence* Fund. Espaillat could not be reached at the close of the auction Friday, February 8 because he was away from home doing what racers do, running his Honda RC51 at Texas World Speedway in College Station, Texas.

Upon his return home, Espaillat wrote to roadracingworld.com via e-mail saying, “The Air Fence Fund is a life-saving effort by an exceptional group of individuals and companies. It’s a shining example of what makes the sport of road racing so great. It demonstrates our willingness to put our money where our mouths are and spend our hard-earned cash to protect our fellow sportsmen and women. Surely, none of us contributes because we intend to use the Air Fence ourselves!

“In the case of the Barnacle Bill custom suit, I know I’ll be protecting myself while helping protect others. I want to thank Barnacle Bill and Roadracing World for putting together a win-win package.”
