Paul has always been an avid racing enthusiast. In 1983, along with Dave Bowers, they founded a class of racing called "Pinto Racing" becoming the GTP class. The Pinto class was unique to the DC area of SCCA venues. They thought it was a relatively inexpensive way to race. There were even cost limits to deal with, limited allowable engine modifications, and a minimum weight limit with driver, to even the playing field. The Pinto Racers were the first group to "feed the workers", which started others to do the same back in the day. Paul has competed in a few races too. Examples are: the Fresh From Florida 200 at Daytona in January 2008, co-driving car number 64, a BMW 330ci from Team T Giovanis Motorsport; the 2012 Devil in the Dark 12-hour, In E2, the #94 Acura Integra of Radial Motorsports (from Highland, MD and WDC) captured the 1st place trophy. It was driven by Paul Moorcones, Drew Gutow, Josif Mavridis, Tom Beverly; and most recently Paul placed 2nd at the VIR 2018 MARRS Road Racing Series driving a 2000 Acura Integra in mEP class in October 2017. Paul knows racing, Paul knows tires, Paul sells tires. What's not to like?
Paul has been very active in the CCA. Every year, he brings some of the newest racing tires to a Shop Night event at Sport Chevrolet to show us the latest technology in tires. Paul also donates either a set of tires or $1000 gift certificate for our Annual Awards Dinner and our annual Spring car Shows. He will take whatever time is required for his customers, making sure they really need a particular job done, and if it is, he will make sure it is done right, at the most reasonable cost to his customer. He is the go to guy for tires in this area. Has been forever. Put your trust in the best.
