Paul's Challenger is powered by a stroked 383, at 431 inches, and is a legit 10 second car with time slips to prove it before Drag Week 2016, and afterwards. Sometimes Drag Week, like life, doesn't always follow the script and Paul has shown a tenacity to overcome these moments. The car belonged to his late brother Russel, who never finished it, but Paul rebuilt it to honor him, and brought it to Drag Week with his son Paulie, and brother Joseph. We met them on Tuesday, and became fast friends with the New York trio, sharing a love of Family, Mopars, and big rigs that runs through all of us.
