Lots of memories for lots of people here, I would imagine. I recall the Hacker bros showing up for the Golf Cup race at Seattle with a three-car open trailer, covered with VWs (1985, maybe?). It looked like something out of Junkyard Wars. He won, as I recall.

Wow...what a record! I guess what he did for Randy Pobst says it all about the man. RIP at LRP, Paul.Quote:

RIP Paul, and thanks for all you did for VW racing!
When I was racing in the VW Cup, in 85, Paul and Karl they were a source of many spare parts for us over the weekend. Karl, Please accept my condolences. David Ellis-Brown
