LSR/OBITUARIES: Jim Lindsley tribute

Guest 25 April 2005 01:29:30
 As we start the 2005 racing season, full of expectations and hopes for
new records and new stars to emerge, we should stop for a moment and think
about all those stars in the racing firmament who have left us. Men and
women who made a great impact on American Motorsports, and whose absence
will make our sport just a bit poorer for their passing. We mourn the
passing of James L. Lindsley. Jim was born in 1917, in Santa Monica,
California, and grew up during the depression. Contracting polio, Jim
forced himself by sheer will power to overcome that dreaded disease and
walk, though his legs always remained weak. Fathers of that era had a
difficult time finding work to support their families, and children often
earned as much as the parents. Jim was very creative and worked as a
paperboy and gardener. Hobos and desperate men of that era would target
paperboys, who had a pocketful of nickels, enough to feed a man for a week.

Jim was no pushover. He would fill a sock with ball bearings and tie the
sock around his wrist. Anyone trying to rob him of those precious nickels
would receive an arm-breaking blow. He would knock on a neighbor's door
and ask if he could mow the lawn. With a leg in a metal brace and a
wheelchair nearby, the neighbors would feel great emotion for him and offer
to pay him extra, wondering how he would manage to do the job. Jim had
hired other boys in the neighborhood to do the work. His job was to find
them the work and split the money with them. His inventiveness and drive
spilled over into his future vocation as an electrician, and as a land
speed racer.
