The Florida Winter Nationals was the first stop for the team in 2015. The team made a long awaited return to East Bay Raceway in Tampa where Jim was a top 10 car in the Sprint car division for many years. The return was great to see old friends but not good for racing. The team never got going and had a rough three nights. Jim had made the move in 2015 to become the General Manager of the Hyatt Regency in Albuquerque, NM. Work and the new position took Jim away from racing in the spring...more
