that would be awesome! imagine him coming second for a race and then he'll go up to the winner and go, "Dude, I almost had you."

Then the guy who came in first would say this "Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning. "
haha

nah everyone pretty much leaves him alone, he rolls with the AE Performance guys (who are all super cool too) but comes and kicks it with others when its social time (typically involves drinking, lol).

Only people I've seen bug him and get all "he's a movie star" blah blah blah are girls, they all swoon over him and I've seen this at every single event he's been at. It must be annoying to be honest but he's always a very easy going about it and spends time taking pics, signing stuff, etc...

He seems to be a good sport, he's taking driving instruction from Jeff Westphal (GST's driver) and been getting better and better in his driving efforts. His BMW is pretty bada** to say the least. His stuff is all top notch, the suspension on his car is off the hook (custom Ohlins Motorsports coilovers). Again, he's always been very cool to me but then again I could care less that he's "Paul Walker" and honestly I think he could care less who I am....so it works out, LOL.

At one of the events he smashed around in the GST L, it was fun to watch.

Considering I don't like to even drive the car on the dyno and he mobbed it around bare foot is insane!

You keeping tabs on people's track time? Sweet! I would like to know what I have racked up since '99. I guess I wish I knew that was important. Hit me back.

I already knew he was privately already into cars.... but if I met Paul Walker, I'd ask him about what it was like with Jessica Alba on Into the Blue.
