He won the IHRA Pts meet at 131 Motorsports Park 5-10yrs ago over Ben Wenzel in the final, which the best I can tell, was one of the highlights of his drag racing career.

Yes, Jim was indeed a gentleman, great racer and fellow Olds enthusiast. He won the IHRA Summit Pro-Am at US-131 Motorsports Park in 2014. I vividly remember as I was the runner-up at that event.

Jim, sincere apology for screwing up the details from that final round. I corrected the error in my original post.

No problem, I just feel fortunate to have known and raced with him.

Sad to learn of this unfortunate news. We pitted with Jim and Sharon many times over the years and kept an eye on each other's stuff. We always enjoyed visiting with him.
