Great picture Jack, and like Joe commented, Jim's life story made me a fan as well, even though I was too young to see him race in his prime. Through the years I've collected tons of atricles and pictures of him at Indy and in Sprint and Champ cars.  I even got the opportunity to meet his brother (and chief mechanic on his cars in the mid 60's) Peter, many years ago, and we still talk a couple times a year. He has some great stories from their years on the road.  Bob Gates did an excellent job on his book "Hurtubise" If you can get your hands on it, you wont be disappointed!
