Shortly after this awesome photo was taken, Paul broke down, hit a tree or was overcome with ennui and DNF’d.
Update: Paul has his own take on how we met.
We’ve added Canadian rally racer Paul Hartl to the team for 2011.
Paul and I met at the Yerington 300 (which we won, by the way), back in May. He was going to be racing with another Class 11 team, but their car broke down before he got any seat time.
Paul tolerated me repeatedly referring to Canada as “America’s hat” and he constantly pointed out what a lousy Olympic hockey team we have. What’s not to like?
Paul will fly out from snowy Toronto for a couple of our VORRA races and also do a leg at the Baja 1000 next November. We’re probably going to have to cut a hole in the roof because the guy’s like 6 foot, 15 inches tall.
He swears this is not a mug shot.
