Our Company was a sponsor for A O Fick racing # 88 Corvette and raced against Paul at Road America. One year when I was up at the race track Paul had a problem with his car. The C3 Vette came in third that race.
We all got a big surprise when Paul came over to the trailer and wanted to see the on board video of the race. The Vette was behind Paul most of the race until Paul had problems and had to get his backup car out in order to finish.
Paul was real nice to everyone and my mom talked about it for years to all of her friends about that special day for us all.
Those were great times back in the 80's up at Road America.
