Jim was the one who called me late one evening in February when Jeff had started the site in January. Jim said that Dargan Watts had just called him about a site he ought to check out and when Jim saw it he knew to call me right away. I went to my computer, with Jim on the phone, and I got signed up and signed in. At the time I was about the 74th person to sign up. Jim was right about the site being the "perfect fit" for me as he knew how much I loved the sport. He also knew how active I was in the sport all those years. I first met Jim when I was 14 years old. He gave our "Richard Petty Fan Club of Columbia" a lot of air time on the local radio station. Jim would come to the races and always use my parents' motorhome as a base of operations. Jim also allowed me to cover Darlington qualifying for his WSCQ radio station which was affiliated with CBS. One of my interviews with David Pearson was actually used on CBS Sports one year. Jim Seay was an unique individual with one of the most recognizeable voices around. He loved sports, especially high school and college football and stock car racing.
My thoughts and prayers go our for his family and to all his many friends. Rest in peace, Jim, although I doubt that is your style. I remember every extended telephone call you ever made to me which always ended with your long list of things you had to accomplish that day. With your drive and talents, the list was never ending.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
