I would guess early 1975 to late 1977. I was one of the unfortunate fans in attendance that witnessed his death in 1977 at Winchester. :crying:
I was really into photography back then and took pictures of everything, including James fatal crash. No one will ever see them.
He and his Dad were trying to become the first father/son to qualify for the same Indy 500, in May of 1977, but James failed to qualify in an underfunded car.
James wasn't on the USAC scene that long, but he was one of the nicest people I ever met.
David.
