So sad to hear. James was a good guy and we will miss him.

Wow, what a shock. I talked to him briefly at Reynolds in October, glad I did. RIP James.

In honor of James, D2 has updated their Facebook cover photo to his red firebird. I took the liberty of uploading it from Facebook.

Re: Rip
 

Condolences to Mr. Wilson's family, I met Mr. Wilson last year while pitting next to him at Darlington at a Division II IRHA race. Mr. Wilson was one of the nicest guys I have met while racing he will be missed. My prayers are with his family Jim Kelley

Re: Rip
 

Always enjoyed J.G. when racing in D-2. Had some laughs with him and Jimmy Spell at Charlotte this fall. I am truly sorry to hear of his passing. RIP.

Re: Rip
 

Very sad news....D2 has really lost some great people this year. Condolences to his family.

I think I will remember most This past fall race at Charlotte.. I was helping with Roy Hill's 3 car team. Both Roy & his crew chief/driver were pulled for the "random testing". Crew chief got it over and done with...Roy was gone for what seemed like for hours. I run the golf cart over on the other side to check on Uncle Roy. The door of the testing RV flings open & I hear Roy yell "we need some help in here...we can't piss" I peek my head in the door and Roy & Mr. Wilson are sitting side by side on the couches....same posture...same physique...same look on their faces.. Anyone know that Flock of Seagulls song? Yeah I ran, I ran so far away!!!

Re: Rip
 

Jimmy Spell called me today and broke the news and asked me to post something on his behalf; very sad to hear this. I remember the first time I met JG, it was at an IHRA points meet back in 2001 I think at Kinston. Real nice guy who had a great running car. I remember the year won the Gators and I think a couple other divisional races as well. JG was an old school racer, Jimmy said his wife (JG's) sad he was reminiscing last night of this past race season and how he was looking forward to the 2014 season. Let's remember the good times about JG and lift his family up in prayer. Godspeed friend!

Re: Rip
 

its hard to believe its true, RIP JG, i will sure miss talking to you at the races

Re: Rip
 

This is quite a shock. James was always a very tough competitor but a nice person to talk to. I remember racing him years ago when he ran his white big block camaro in IHRA. We were supposed to race first round at the Charlotte spring race this year and neither of us could make the first round call. I'm glad he had the opportunity to enjoy his division 2 championship before his passing. RIP my friend.

Re: Rip
 

big smile will be missed prayers to the family

Re: Rip
 

I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Wilson, but it is obvious he was well liked and highly regarded. I am sorry I never had the pleasure. RIP Mr. Wilson.

Re: Rip
 

Rest in peace ole' buddy. Met James 05 Gators, great guy and a tough competitor also. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.

Re: Rip
 

RIP JG. You will be greatly missed by the Stott/Volkman crew. Whenever we had transportation we would go by and get JG and go out for supper at the races. So many funny memories involved him. All of us in D2 in miss his smiling face. He was a true champion that's for sure!

Re: Rip
 

RIP We had the pleasure of pitting next to him at one of the IHRA Norwalk events several years ago what a genuinely nice guy? That was the first time we had ever met and we hit it off right away.Even though we had just met when he cooked he cooked for all of us, he refused to take no for a answer.

Re: Rip
 

Sorry for you loss..Mr Wilson was a great guy ..

Re: Rip
 

I had the good luck of pitting next to Mr. Wilson at SGMP several years ago and found him an excellent neighbor. A very knowledgeable and kind man. R.I.P. sir. Jim

Sorry for the sad news. yes we lost a lot of very good friends and racers this year. they will all be missed very very much.

Re: Rip
 

Our family passes on our deepest sympathies to the Wilson Family. Myself and the Worner Brothers actually spent the Thursday afternoon in Reading this past fall, at the Nationals, shooting the ***** with Mr. Wilson. Very nice man and good genuine racer. RIP

Pitted next to him a couple of times. Very good neighbor. Was happy to see he won the division.
