Meet The Team
With a combined history of over 30 years of racing in various types of motorsports, we have succeeded, failed, and often surprised ourselves with the results of tested & true products versus our own. We guarantee that any Grassroots product has been tested in a racing application and that the quality of products do not match, but surpass the selling cost.
Grassroots is built on the heritage of a modern day race car enthusiast. From backyard wrenching to full-blown rotisserie restos. Grassroots is knowing where you came from and not selling out for the fame, stereotypes, or politics most often involved with the sport. Yet, for the satisfaction and respect of a well-built machine ready for any corner, it's thrown at.
PAUL
(Founder, Car Enthusiast)
Paul is the founder of Grassroots Performance. Paul became a gearhead at the early age of 7, starting on dirt bikes and go-karts. He quickly progressed and began competitive racing 4 wheels at the age of 13 to present, racing 2 wheels since the age of 16. He is now a driver in a variety of playing fields. From competition to demos, and even cinematic stunt driving. Pauls passion for driving is second to none and takes any opportunity to get behind the wheel or above bars. He has always been realistic when building a race vehicle and knows sticking to a budget is usually the major set back to any build. This leads him to his quest for affordable performance parts to fit any scale of a build.

REBEKAH
(Marketing)
Rebekah handles a lot of the nit & grit that comes with the business. She deals with
our marketing & graphic design, administration and a lot of the "behind the scenes" side of things. She's been around since the beginning and brings a much-needed freshness to a sport & industry so dominated by men. She's working on getting handy with a wrench as well, and you can often find her helping out in the pits. Keep an eye out for her EF Honda Civic she is building to run circuit events.
