<DIV dir=ltr><BR>I met PL at a driver's meeting @ LRP too. He was there in 99

amount of attention. Making the same small race talk with everyone around him.
Amazing guy. <BR><BR>Later I was up in the tower watching a race (FF's I

style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid">I
met Paul at a driver's meeting at an SCCA race at Lime Rock some years
ago. That's when he agreed to be an honerable FOT member. He was
very aproachable at the track as long as the subject was racing. My
wife started up a conversation with him later that day and called him Mr.
Newman. He replied "Call me Paul". His wife and daughter were
often up in the tower watching his race and were also very
approachable. He was still racing SCCA last year, but was doing
regional races instead of the National races that he did in previous
years. He was still winning, too. It was at an
SCCA regional race in 2007 that Barbara Walters went for a
track ride with Paul around Lime Rock. She was doing a story
about living a long life.

ago, I was sitting with a group of racers in the lobby of that Holiday
Inn-type hotel at the northeast corner of Daytona International Speedway. In
comes Newman and plops down on a sofa in a friendly-exhausted sort of way
and starts bench racing right there. In a few minutes he and I go over to
the temporary bar set up for cocktail hour. He orders a Budweiser and I
order a Heinekens. Newman digs into his pocket to pay for his beer and the
bartender says, "That's okay Mr. Newman, it's on the
house."</SPAN></FONT></P>
