Paula’s passion for racing began over 25 years ago
when she became interested in motorcycles. Her venture with motorcycles brought
her to the track where she flagged for AMA (American Motorcycle Association).
Over the years she has met many racing enthusiasts that have ultimately become
like her second family.
Paula was trained by Lake Erie Communications to be a flagger. Paula
flagged for SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) and pro events with AMA. Paula’s
devotion to racing has taken her to many different tracks. She has crewed at
the following places: Sonoma California and New Hampshire with BMW, Sebring Florida with SCCA, Virginia
International Speedway, Summit Point Raceway, Watkins Glen, NY., Mid-Ohio
Raceway, Pocono Raceway, Road America in Wisconsin and Road Atlanta to name
just a few. When going to these tracks she also finds time to Grid the cars
before going out for a race.
Paula is now crewing for Spec Miata Race Cars. She is highly involved
politically with SCCA by traveling to the national conventions, mini cons and
round table meetings. Paula will be Race Chair Director for an upcoming race at
Pitt Raceway in Beaver County. SCCA has been encouraging Paula to apply for the
Steward Program. A Steward’s job is knowing the different specialties like
tech, timing and scoring, race control, emergency services and registration that make a race successful.
With her devotion and appreciation to the racing world it is no doubt
Paula will move on to bigger and better adventures with SCCA .
