I have decided to donate $1000 to the race purse to honor our late friend and Division 7 stalwart Diamond Jim Meador. He was a long time competitor and friend to so many in Division 7 who sadly passed away last year in August. The following is a brief tribute I wrote here on Class Racer upon learning of his passing:

Over the years I had a lot of interesting conversations with Jim about all sorts of things unrelated to drag racing, and lots of talks about the sport we all love as well. Talking with him was like finding a book of short stories tucked away on the bookshelf - hours of entertainment and an endless variety of tales that you didn’t want to end.

When I was a new drag racer and trying to figure out how to put it all together Jim treated me like I was a wily veteran….not like the rookie who couldn’t find his butt with both hands. I always looked forward to listening to him with his dry sense of humor and incredible memory for detail. A co-worker of mine lived in Jim’s neighborhood, and they became acquainted through their love of cars. Jim took my friend under his wing and treated him like one of the guys too - something my friend still talks about.

On the track Jim was a force to reckoned with. I raced him a few times in his final set of events in which he drove. And while it was fun to trade a few good natured barbs with him in the staging lanes, it wasn’t fun to see the win light come on in his lane each time. The last time we went down the track in his penultimate race he dropped an .003 light on me!

Prayers for his family and friends who will mourn him here on earth. Jim just turned on the win light again - this time in God’s lane as he crossed the finish line to spend eternity with all of the great racers already there ahead of him.

RIP Jim - you will be missed.

The racers with the Best Losing Package in R -1 and R-2 will each receive $500 in honor of Jim Meador. I’m calling it “Meador’s Cheddar” and I hope somebody with a story to tell about Jim can claim the prize in each round.

Best of luck to everyone who can attend. Bring your memories, and bring your A Game. And thanks for supporting PMR Racing.

That was totally cool Carl. It actually brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing and for giving back in a way that is so much more than just a racing award.....it is a piece of your heart!

Carl has just shown a prime example of why it is called Class Racing. God Bless you Carl.

In addition to the prizes listed above

Paul Haszlauer and Mike Blackstone would like to put money toward the race-
Mike Blackstone would like to put 500 dollars in memory of Trudy Haszlauer, his good friend Paul's wife who is truly missed by all who knew her. Also 300 to low qualifier and another 200 to be determined at the race. Trudy will definitely be watching this weekend.

The amount of support shown so far for this race has been incredible. Thanks again everyone and we cant wait to see you all this weekend

Carl,
What a great gesture! This honors our racing friend (sorry never met him) and adds a level of excitement to the event and the marketing of the event. (Sunday!,...Sunday!,... Sunday!....remember that?) Fortunately this type of thing is contagious. I hope more of us in the racing community consider similar support. Ray

None of us are pre entered but we are loading up. Paul and Stephanie Wong have their rides in the trailer. Earl Blake is making some adjustments. Paul Wong gave me a ride to play with as well. Weather looks fantastic! Best I have felt in a while emotionally. Thanks Phil and Tony in advance!
