Conversation: Paul Dallenbach – Video

I get lucky now an then and get a chance to sit down with my racing heroes. Paul Dallenbach is one of those people. I got double-lucky today. I was on m way home to the Bay Area from our family vacation in San Diego and we just happened to be driving through the LA area at the right time to catch Paul while he was shooting a new commercial for Hyundai. My wife, being the most incredible, patient, and supportive person I’ve ever met, told me to absolutely take the detour and go meet Paul for a quick chat.

Paul was nice enough to take a few minutes away from his very busy schedule to sit down with me in what has to be the nicest place I’ve ever conducted an interview. The photo below is the garden of the Montage hotel in Beverly Hills where Paul was on location. Not too bad, huh!?

I want to thank Paul again for taking time to sit down with me. I sincerely hope that the Mountain will decide that Paul has, indeed, earned a break this year and we’ll see him on the summit, victorious once again.

For those of you who have not seen the crash Paul endured at last year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, you can see it here.

I've been around some form of racing since I was a kid. First hanging around Ascot in Southern California. Then, after moving to Texas as a teen, I got hooked on drag racing and did that for almost fifteen years. In between I have raced Dirt bikes and Quads. 2011 Marked my 8th and final year racing up Pikes Peak: Five in the Pro Quad division and three in Time Attack. Future racing plans are in the works, but until then I'm at the track shooting for My Life at Speed as much as I possibly can.
