Visited with my bud Jim yesterday. He is layed up again but still smiling when he can. If you know Jim, give him a call. Being a life long Flat Tracker, he has lots of wonderful stories about the Golden Era, when he earned his National Number and the cast of characters that made up the scene.
Jim hung up his steel shoe not to long ago due to medical issues. He raced hard from the start to the end of his racing career and enjoyed every minute of it.
