Shocking sad news!

It was always good to see Jim's smiling face at the end of the day, because that means you probably won something. Had some good early morning chats with him at the Bracket Finals last year.

Godspeed, Jim.

Sorry to hear that also. I never minded having to buy those photos off of him. He seemed to really love the sport, that is something that we should all take from him.

Jim always added to any event he attended. He will be greatly missed! We always looked forward to his visits to us at Silver Dollar.

This is such a shock -- I thought he was in perfect health.

Shocking news. He was a great friend. Dad and I met him in the early 80's at the IHRA races and became good friends. When you were down about your's or the car's performance, Jim always had a way to put a smile on your face.

God speed my friend.
