Jim Boudreau a "class" racer
 

I see that Mr. Jim Boudreau is listed as a member on this site. If anyone has any contact with him please extend our gratitude to this fine gentleman. (NHRA stock #1499 B/SA @ Reading ). I travelled down with my 15 year old son to the soggy Toyo Tires nat'l event held this past weekend @ RAINING Pennsylvannia.We were strolling the sportsman pits during the hours of rain and stopped to take some pics of his beautiful hugger orange 396 Camaro. He took the time to chat with us and answered a couple questions that I had regarding his car. As we were leaving he called out to us and offered us his Class Finalist decal for B/SA. This was really nice of him as he had already been eliminated from stock class eliminations. It made our soggy trip from Ontario Canada much more memorable. BesT of luck to him @ Indy and the rest of his season.

This is exactly why S/SS racers are the best in the world! Jim

I had the pleasure of interviewing Jim for his win at the IHRA North American Nationals in Epping, NH, from the week prior. Definitely a class act, and a lot of fun to talk to. And talk about a gorgeous car! I may be a Mopar guy, but that's one fine looking car. It made me feel bad being parked beside him in the staging lanes. I have to go polish my wheels now. ;)

Tim- Jim is on the road for the next few weeks racing. Cecil, Indy then Etown. I will forward your kind words to him. He is a class act on and off the drag strip as you found out first hand.

Hi Tim this is Jim Boudreau's daughter. I read the message you wrote about my dad and relayed the message to him (who is right now racing in Indy). He was touched by your kind words. My father's email at work is jim.jbauto@comcast.net and he would like you to contact him. He has something he would like to send to you!

Re: Jim Boudreau a "class" racer
 

I will honor Jim as one of the finest racers I have ever met. I respect him as a person with the utmost regard.

Heard a rumor here at Indy that he lost an engine last weekend. Certainly hope there's no truth to it.

Another "Class" Racer lent "Golddigger" an engine!
Good Luck Jim!

Re: Jim Boudreau a "class" racer
 

Thats great ! I will be following his progress @ Indy on the web. Definitely will be in contact with him.

Re: Jim Boudreau a "class" racer
 

Saw Jim earlier today here at Indy. I guess he's ready to go.

Re: Jim Boudreau a "class" racer
 

Thats great news. "Hoping for blue skies and green lights " as they say .

Re: Jim Boudreau a "class" racer
 

Jim lost a motor at Cecil County. In true racer spirit Ralph Porpora loaned Jim his spare so he could race at Cecil and Indy. Ralph should be commended for his generosity. Looks like a piston or pin failure. His spare is at Armstrongs and hopefully ready for etown pts. race. I wish him well at Indy.

Jim was gunned down in 2nd round of class run offs (B/SA) by Bill Hawk. Best of luck for stock eliminator @ the BIG GO. Hawk found almost 2 tenths improvement from his qualifying time.

Re: Jim Boudreau a "class" racer
 

Tim.

He didn't find it, he was SANDBAGGING...I think he won the class also...That car can run teen's in B/sa and is very Fast...Anyways, congrats to the Hawk team for winning B/sa @ Indy.
Jim will do just fine in the Big Race..........A,B,C, are real tough classes...

Sunday night after 4 rounds, Jim is still alive and going strong.

Re: Jim Boudreau a "class" racer
 

He's doing pretty good for a guy who collects social security! 3 more win lights and Indy will be his. Good luck old-timer, I'm pulling for you.
