Paul Hirsch joins us to talk about grassroots motorsports and how he first got involved in karting and eventually endurance racing. He shares his advice to those looking to get started in racing and shares his plans for 2021. He and Bill talk about some of the adventures they had while endurance racing including one very snowy day picking up an E30 at the US/Canadian border.
Paul's motor sport career began simply as a hobby in the early 2000's. Paul has certainly made a name for himself many times over in Karting, Endurance car racing, and Autocrossing. He has been racing in several disciplines and has graduated from prestigious race schools such as Skip Barber and Mario Andretti racing School. He has a racing license and can drive in SCCA, NASA, ChampCar, WRL, and AER. A proven "fast, front runner" in every car he has driven!
Paul has several wins, poles, and has been incredibly blessed to have driven an enormous variety of vehicles. Paul is a clean driver, extremely consistent running several laps within a thousandth of each other whether it be in endurance racing or sprint format.
