But the way it has been going NHRA would probably consider someone with WAY less experience in sportsman classes. I have seen Jim smile and laugh, especially with Flash around..

Robert, My informant tells me that Jim had enough of the situations you mentioned in your post and just walked away. He was not relieved or fired by any means. Just got tired of being over ruled by Glendora for "special" people. Jim

Jim if it true NHRA and racers will miss you

LMAO!
Red scared the crap out of me in tech at my first points race.
They are all great if your car is right.

He always dealt with us comp guys fairly-he was tough, yes, but fair. Losing both Dale House and Jim Collins in one year is tough. And he was responsible for the mineshaft rule in comp-without that rule, there were races we would not have gone to.
