I remember reading about James and all the talent he had. He was taken from the racing world at such a young age.
I'm also one that attended Winchester for the first time in 1981, and saw tragedy take a rising 28yr old ASA star right on the main straightaway, hitting the gate. I had driven from north central Illinois to see the ASA Winchester 400 and the high banks which I read so much about. Sadly, there are many others that met this same fate at Winchester. Prayers for all.
The Pat Schauer Memorial Rookies of the Year is named after Pat Schauer, of Watertown, Wisconsin, who was killed October 4, 1981, at Winchester Speedway during an ASA race. Schauer was the rookie point leader at the time.
