Jims Maverick was fast also. I bought several sets of used tires with 3 or 4 runs on them from him when he was racing the Maverick in B/SM in Modified Production. He was on the deal with Firestone back then and would change them after 3 or 4 runs Good guy, L.A. County full time Fireman also.
I was going to mention that.
I didn't know Jim was a fireman too (like "Big Jim" Dunn).
