Looks like Google has lots of stuff about him. I'll do some research & see what I can learn about his racing.

Hope others here who know about his Pontiac racing will chime in.
"Owner Bio: P.J. HeckSomeone could make a lot of money writing 63-year-old P.J. Heck's life story. Heck, who haunts Gallipolis, Ohio, spent 35 years as an industrial construction worker, during which he collected some pretty impressive Tin Indians. He once owned Mickey Thompson's and Royal's 1963 Swiss Cheese Pontiacs at the same time, and a '61 Catalina wagon, a '63 Ventura coupe, and this '62 Super Duty Catalina kept him from being 'another one of those Chevy-Ford-Mopar sheep, copy catting some trend setter.' One of his favorite moments in this Cat happened in the 1970s at the track. The flagman backed him up and P.J. forgot to put it back into a forward gear. When the flag went up, he jerked backwards, probably cursed, threw it into First, floored the gas, and flew by the 409 Chevy that he was racing."
He was a one time owner of this former A/S terror, driven by Jess Tyree. So far, I don't know how much time he spent behind the wheel of a race car.
