Looking like a great day for a race at the Class Track! We are having a special get together today along the Hwy side in Honor of the late great Cowboy Jim Georges. Look for the canopy's and Hoosier Flag flying high. Please stop by and tell a story or dozen, and have a beverage with us!

Was looking to the get together and to tell a lie or two at Jim's expense. Just didn't work out. For those in attendance, have a great time. Loretta and I will always remember Jim and his humor and his pranks. He was one of a kind. Race on Jimmy....

We are sad to be missing this today as we both have many Cowboy stories to share. Jim was one of a kind….he fought like a true warrior until the very end. We are sure he got up early today, gathered up some dear friends he’s been reunited with, and said “Hey, want to hear a bunch of BS?” And he can’t wait to hear the stories again. Always in our hearts and on our minds. Racing won’t be the same without him but he has the best seat in the house now along with all his buddies. The Fireball is poured and ready to drink.

To quote a song played at Jim’s funeral…

“If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see”

Ditto Jens post.

RIP Jim…..

Miss ya Buddy!

Just got to I-70 Speedway and Freebird is playing. We hear you Cowboy!!! ☺️

We were going to head up but the forecast was iffy at best. Hate that they got the predicted rain. How far did they get before the skies opened up?

Not very far. We had a great pre game in honor of the Cowboy. Carson Garrett, dad and crew got to enjoy some Dewigs BBQ. They are some awesome folks and were favorites of Jim. He’d be happy even tho the race got rained out. I’ll get a shirt from you next race!:6:

Wouldn’t surprise me if Jim did this on purpose, just so we could do it again.

So much for that. Mother Nature is definitely a repeat winner. Wonder how much she’s doped her tires.

Only 1 outta 4 found this to be true :3:

Due to my late night at Bloomington, I required some extra time to rest up and I arrived a little after 3:00 and the race car haulers were lined up preventing access to the front parking lot.
I went ahead and marked seats on the backstretch.
After returning to my car, I called Amy Mead and jokingly asked if I could get a to go plate delivered to my car on the backstretch parking area.
Lo and behold, I was sent a marvelous plate of ribs, pork sandwich, salad, veggies and even dessert.
I very much enjoyed it, and it reminded me of the many times Jim and I searched out and enjoyed barbecue during our trips to the races.
A fitting tribute to the man who enjoyed auto racing and good food, especially barbecue, so much.
