RIP Jim Meador

MR DERBY CITY · 08-26-2023, 08:09 PM

Jim Meador was one of a kind. He was affectionately referred to as “Diamond Jim “. Jim had a passion for NHRA stock eliminator and music. He always built his own engines and would scoff at buying an engine from a professional race engine builder. His Camaro was a top runner in D/SA. Jim would play along side the Ventures from time to time. For you youngsters , the Ventures recorded the theme song for Hawaii 5-0 back in the day. Prayers for his wife, children and grandchildren . GODSPEED Diamond Jim !!!

Gregg Luneauk collaborated with Jim for many years on
his 396 and was his friend.

Please Keep him in your prayers as well. He is dealing with
serious health issues.

We sure wished we could have seen and raced Jim a few more times.
We spent a lot of money because of that White Camaro trying to keep up!

God's Speed Jim!
I believe we will meet again in Heaven.
