RIP buddy. Jim died yesterday of an apparent heart attack. Jim was a great friend, racer, and most importantly father. Jim raced his #26 sport mod all over western NY. The past few years he has been slowly transitioning from driver to father/crewchief for his boy's in go karts and now 4 cylinder cars. You'll be dearly missed by many, God speed buddy.

Raced with Jim at many tracks with the old SST tour. Was a good guy, I enjoyed racing with him. R.I.P
