    I was fortunate enough to get some time out on a track along side him and have some conversations with him back when I was just learning about my car and before I got married with children and I count myself really lucky to have known him even for a little bit. He was just one of those rare individuals.

    Here's a video that Moddin' Art (Grinner) did of him a few years back to give you some idea:

    I had he pleasure of meeting Jim a couple of months after I recieved my car at an event at Willow Springs in '06, had a lot of good conversation & driving tips. We all lost a good man & friend. Thoughts and prayers go out to the Edwards family.

    (I also lost an other friend, in the Ford family. Joe Gosinski of Chicane Sport Tuning was found beaten & shot at his shop Friday afternoon in Torrance Ca.)
