By Ken Wagner October 7, 2015

Jim and Petie were part of my racing life until they retired from racing and let their son take over the race car. They were always polite and sharing. Jim's pipe was a staple with him as he was never without it, always enjoing it. You couldn't ask for a nicer car owner and friend as he was full of heart and shared much with others. As I approach the "later years" in my existance, I continue to lose those people like Jim who gave me more than they ever knew. Rest in Peace Jim, you are like a falling star, lost to us forever.
