I am new to this forum I hope this is the correct place for this if not feel free to move or delete. I bought a car from John Irving thru this sites for sale section. I picked the car up last weekend at The Mopars At the Strip race. Everything went great. John and his son Jon had eight cars entered in four different classes but still had time to babysit me and my driverat all times. It was just a reminder of why I love Class racing. Your friends and competers wil always come to your aid if you ask. It is nice to be back after15 years away..

Welcome back. Which car did you purchase?

Thats nice to hear. People are quick to bitch and usually remain
silent when something good happens. Glad you took the time to
post it. My experience tells me that most racers are dam good people.

Phil I bought the tree killer pick-up. I raced with Steve Hahn when I worked at his dad's dealership for 30 years. Jay Henderson.

The Irvings are great people and have always treated me well. Even when I am running in the same class.

The Irvin's enjoy one of the best reputations in our sport for good reason. They are just plain good people! I met Jon at the Cajun SportsNationals in 2004 and he impressed me as a one of the most polite kids I have ever met. Just sayin'. Jim

Thanks for the kind words.....they are truly appreciated!!

My Health is doing Well........Just had a CAT Scan and
there is no sign of Cancer recurring.....Praise Our Lord!

We have been at The Strip for last three days and were not near a computer:
Jon Jr. just won Nevada State Championship in Sportsman.

They told me at track we got a little Ink in National Dragster
on our team in next week's paper.......... Haven't seen it yet.

Very thankful your cancer has been squashed! It was good to see you at Phoenix, just didn't get long enough to visit. And congrats to Jon Jon, know how proud you are of the boys.
