Steve ( Thompson?) ... Jim Nichols long time racing Buddy / Companion died yesterday of a heart attack. Years ago Steve was a racer himself, but in the past few years has been the loyal crew member for Jim's Max Wedge Plymouth. RIP our friend, Prayers and thoughts go out to Jim.

My prayers and condolences to Steve's family. My thoughts are with Jim as well. I know you are going to miss your crew chief.
Last year, I met Jim and Steve at Quaker City for the Ross' stock/super stock series. During a rain delay, Steve and I started talking about his days working at the rod shop. I was annoying him with questions about all of my heroes who raced for the rod shop. He shared his stories about traveling the country with the California Flash. I hope he enjoyed the trip down memory lane, I did! He offered to help me on the starting line since I was by myself that day. Steve will be missed, I will not forget him.
