Prayers for Jim Parsons
 
Division 5 stock racer Jim Parsons will have major cancer surgery on April 2nd.
Recovery will take at least a year. I thought everyone should know. He is one of the nicest people you will ever meet!

Our best to Jim and his family
I keep telling NHRA and IHRA that we (S/SSracers) are dropping like flys, and we don't regenerate ourselves with ;little or no new blood coming into our ranks,but they don't listen or care and continue with crap like header tethers, not policing HP as needed, raising our fees, cutting our payouts and exposure raising our expenses, yet lowering or eliminating our rewards.

Thanks for posting this Bob.

Jim and Linda are the nicest people you could ever meet. Jim has helped me on getting my clutch sorted out. The Parson's stocker has a very cool story behind it too.

Our thoughts and prayers for Jim and Linda.

Good Luck Jim Parsons. I talked to Jim at the resent Sports National about his upcoming surgery. Jim is a good guy and a fighter! Jim has owned that Nova since it was new. Get well soon Jim! Hope to see you back at No Problem next year.

Good luck to you Jim! My dad and I met Jim at the recent Sports Nationals. He told us the story about how he bought the Chevy II brand new. We look forward to seeing you in the future.

Re: Prayers for Jim Parsons
 
I would like to thank all who have called, sent cards and or who have relayed concern and prayers my way. Words just can’t express how it has helped get me through some long days and nights.
We are well on the way of recovery and getting stronger each day. My appetite is back and I’m starting to gain back some of the 20+ lbs. lost, so I guess E/S minimum weight was only a passing thing. Doc said full recovery is a year but being a racer who has always enjoyed a challenge have drop that index down to 6 months which hopefully puts me back at the track this year.

Be safe and please feel free to call any time and give me race reports and or just chat.

Jim, So glad to hear you are well on the road to recovery.. I know you will be well under the Dr.'s "index" and back on the golf course and the track this year ..

Re: Prayers for Jim Parsons
 
Joe,
Yes I received your stat book shortly after getting home from the hospital and it has provided many hours of enjoyable reading. I had no idea of how much information you compiled in one of these!
Thanks Joe and I believe you are great example of the people in our racing community and how its supports each other during rough times.

Jim

Re: Prayers for Jim Parsons
 
Hey, fellas - Jim needs us. I just called him for a chat, and he answered from a hospital bed. He says they don't know yet what's wrong with him, and wasn't really up to talking. He said he would give me a call when he's feeling a little better.
We're with ya, buddy!
