Only the truly skilled can handle a CGT. Such a shame for Paul.

Wow such a bummer. So young and a true car enthusiast. Thoughts and prayers go out to his friends, family and his young daughter. RIP Paul.

I'm still in disbelief, may G_D speed. Passengers choose your drivers wisely. Paul + friend rest in peace.

May have been his partner at AE Performance (Always Evolving).

Really tragic. Just reiterates the danger involved at all levels and all times.

The driver's resume looks more legit than most.

Many years ago, I read in one of the car magazines that an Indy car driver went to pick up his brand new 930 Turbo from a Porsche dealer nearby, he never made it home, wrapped the car around a pole.

They say it was 1321 feet away from the charity event he was at.

He died too soon, junior, too soon
