and to barely fit himself. He ended up with a 68
inch wheelbase car that only weighed 618 pounds. Paul won the National
Championship Runoffs with his Mk1/2 in 1985. The car was purchased in
1986 by Bob Urso, who still owns and races it. Bob uses a Kawasaki ZX-10
engine. See Bob's photos.
Paul Decker then built the Mk1 chassis with a longer
wheelbase to accomodate larger drivers. He
raced one MK 1 and sold four or five others. Paul won
the National
Championship Runoffs in 1986 and 1987, driving an Mk1 powered by an
AMW engine.
Al Beasley Sr. and Ma Beasley bought one of the Decker Mk1 cars. After a
couple of seasons, Al had son Ben modify the bodywork of the Mk1, and call his revised car a
Bease-Decker.
