Darnell Paul grew up in the Virgin Islands with grease on his hands and a stopwatch in his head. At 18 he built his first race car from scratch no shop, no mentor, just determination. Now, decades later, he pilots an 8-second Honda Civic and leads one of Florida’s most capable performance shops.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=”“I built my first race car at 18.
