Absolutley dreadful news...Jim was a real gent and I feel privalaged to have known him and raced against him in the mid 90's.

I was greatful when he took avoiding action to miss me when I had an ealry exit from the chair as he was right behind us at the time.

Always had time for a chat when he was here for the Southern100 staying in his regular garage in Castletown just opposite the paddock.

He will be sadly missed.
