Here are a few more pictures of his racing.
In 86 Paul got a real big deal with Mopar to go road racing, had 4 cars won races in IMCA road racing.
The fwd dodges were going to be Carroll Shelby factory cars with 100 being built by Paul, but Shelby & Paul didn't get along and the deal fell thou.

Yep Tom, last time I saw him was at Palm Beach Grand Prix back in '88 or '89, running the Eagle Talon Firehawk team. Wanted to talk to him about the old days, but remember approaching him back when he had the Challenger, and wasn't too talkative about it. With all the stories I've hear I now know why LOL!!! It was definitely a car way ahead of it's time (and the rulebook).
