Sadly, I just recently learned of Jim "Bones" Beeler's passing.... As a 11 year old I remember him from the Hard Top racing days in Chico and my Dad @ 94 still talks about him. I have attached a picture that was recently loaned to me from the (Bill Able - John Nissen Collection) of Jimmy's Pride and Joy ...The Famous 7/11 Hardtop...may he RIP. Jim "Bones" Beeler will be inducted into the "Northern California Auto Racing Alumni Hall Of Fame" this April 30 @ the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds, Chico Ca.

I was honored and fortunate to have 48 years with my grandfather. I remember frequent trips on the Greyhound Bus headed to Marysville for a weekend visit with my grandparents. My grandfather and I usually had in depth conversations about invention, creation or methods for producing the best tomatoes. He was a chef and mastered the art of cookie making. I know he was so much to SIR members, community and childhood friends but to me he was my grandfather that I will keep in my heart forever.
