Jim Smith, RIP
Last night the Lord took my Dad, Jim Smith, after suffering a series of massive heart attacks while recovering from back surgery the morning before. As some of you West Coast racers remember, he served as president for Wilson Ford Drag Club '79-'80, the nations last Ford dealership sponsored drag team. Although not a class racer, he was a regular at OCIR in So Cal, running a SS legal '65 Mustang. Please pray for my family during this extremely difficult time, our extended business family, and all the people he gave to generously and unconditionally.

Gary: So sad for you. Losing someone so special is SO hard, something I don't think any of us are ever really ready for. I'll say a little prayer for you.
