The flags flew at half staff tonight as Inland Motorcycle Speedway paid it's respects to racer and friend Jim Gardner.

The Speedway community was stunned to learn of Jim's passing. A genuine nice person Gardner a lower division racer was old school. He was the only one who still campaigned a old upright two valve JAWA. Jim is probably best known for towing a trailer with his Speedway race machine on it behind his Harley Davidson Road King.

Jim's family asked Larry Huffman to thank the fans for the fifteen hundred dollars contribution they held last week. Doctors had informed them that there was no hope and Jim was removed from life support yesterday morning.

I'm sure we will all miss Jim Gardner. Rest in peace. Howie Zechner

Inland Motorcycle Speedway observed a moment of silence last night for our late friend and Support Division rider, Jim Gardner.

Jim never recovered from the serious head injuries he suffered in an accident two weeks ago. The crowd bowed their heads before the playing the National Anthem and remembered the friendly gentleman biker Waterford his Speedway bike to SoCal races behind his Road King. That's what beloved doing, and that's they way I will remember him. Dorcey Wingo
