sad note

Dr. James Adams, father of Justin (1st year exp#159) past away this morning. Note from his oldest son is on RRW website.

 

Godspeed

 

This is very sad news. I was just talking to Dr. Adams at Laguna at the beginning of the month. Very nice man, and always interesting to talk to. His family will be in my prayers.

 

Damm. He wrote some of the best safety related stories I've ever read.

 

Dr. Adams helped me through my heat problems last summer in the National Endurance Series. He even sent me emails to find out how I was doing after the season ended. I'm in shock.

 

Unbelievable. I really enjoyed his writing. Godspeed.

 

sad day. i met dr. adams at vir in august or september of last season. justin and i were racing pretty close that weekend and everytime we'd come in off the track, we'd shake hands or whatever, i remember thinking, yeah that was pretty cool. then at post tech dr. adams would come bouncing over with this huge grin on his face yelling and screaming about how great that race was. wow! this and holy crap! that. he was so excited, it was contagious. i remmber thinking, "this guy really likes racing, huh?" that was a great weekend.
i loved reading his stuff, too. i always looked for his articles in rrw. his enthusiasm for racing and life showed in his writing. an article of his called "winning real". great article.
you'll be missed dr adams.

Godspeed Dr. Adams
My prayers are with him and his family.

 

I didn't know him, but from these posts I know he was one of those people you see at the track who would go out of their way to help someone else or offer a kind word. My deepest condolences to his family.

Godspeed, Dr. Jim.

 

I am stunned. Jim and I had been good friends for about three years even though we never met. He e-mailed me out of the blue after reading a magazine article I had written and our friendship started from there. I know a lot about Justin (and his brother) even though he probably has no idea who I am. This is very depressing news.

 

well i never had the pleasure of meeting Dr.Adams but it sounds like he was admired! My prayers are with him and his family.
