Jim Pace

I met Jim in 1991, when he was sponsored by AT&T. I was a young Marine and I had won tickets to the Del Mar CA, race. Jim let me wear the Miller Lite suit and I took it outside to the concession stand area where everyone asked if I was a driver, I said yes. For the first time I felt what it was like to be famous, I signed autographs and had pictures taken. I will never forget get that day thanks to Jim. God bless you Jim.

Jim I talked to you many, many times in the pits on IMSA and Vintage weekends. I'm not rich or famous, nor am I a driver,pit crewman,track Marshall.anything related. I love racing, and I loved taking my Son in the pits so we could meet gypsy racers. My Son and I met everyone from local dirt to the very top of the IMSA/nascar food chain.. You were by far the most enjoyable driver we ever had the pleasure to be near.
You are missed more and more each day.

I am so sorry. I just learned. I have so many stories. He was testing a car that had issues. He came into the pits saying the third engine mount needed to be replaced. Or the left front tire was 1 psi too low. Who can do that? Jim could.

My first pole came because he felt bad for cutting me off in the rain. He let me follow him. I did, and got pole. Won the race too.

He took my wife for a lap around Mont Tremblant. He saw her looking at the guardrails. “Don’t look at...

My family loved him very much . He will be truly missed .

I was deeply saddened to learn of Jim's passing. It just does not seem fair. Great man and driver. I enjoyed his videos so much, especially at Road America, where I took my 2nd SCCA drivers school, back in 1978. My condolences to all of the family and friends. A great loss for us all.

He was my instructor in the 1990s at Skip B and I spent 3 1/2 days with him and he was the greatest instructor and person. I still tell my 16 year old son about him. My goal was to have him go to Level Up so Jim could teach him too. I'm very sad and my condolences to the family.

I use to enjoy the races as a child. Always a great past time of mine.

Met Jim in Sebring and was such a nice person and became a good friend. I had him join me and my Wife at Daytona for a Daytona 500 race. I met his wife in Sebring and shared lunch with both of them. Such very nice Couple. Going to miss them both. RIP

I was shocked to just now learn about Jim. I thouroughy enjoyed his videos driving the vintage Can-Am cars & my condolencences to his family. I life lived full but taken too soon. Rest in Peace.
