“I’ve had a sticker in memory of Jim McClure on every bike I’ve ever raced and I was not going to stop until I took him on another 200mph run. Jim was with me when I made my first 200mph pass drag racing and he is still with me every time I race. I’ll always cherish our friendship and his memory. This one is for you JAM.”
