Hand blends became production fuels with influential
input from the racer, dyno results, and even testing at home on his
own equipment aided by both his boys, Kurt and Kyle. With the demand
for unleaded fuels, blends were tested in 1993 on Volusia Speedway
with the help of the Loecher’s Finish Line Racing School finding
success under the scrutiny of various manufactures and Smokey Yunick.
Marine Motors, asphalt, dirt racers, IHRA and NHRA drag racers, engine
builders, and race organizations all consumed his time and he loved
it. Fondness for motorcycles drew much time and attention from Jim.
He did dyno work for years with Ducati’s Ferracci. Kenny Tolbert,
tuner for Chris Carr, George Fitts, owner of Keystone Racing, Kenny
Roberts, and Wayne Rainey were just some of those he felt privileged
to work with. The endorsement of a motorcycle racer brought years
of development and friendship through 1993, 1994, 1995, NHRA Pro Stock
Motorcycle Championship by Dave Schultz, his wife Meredith and tuner
Greg Cope. They were great years and wonderful victories for all.
The twelve years that followed found Jim in another startup situation.
Again, he was developing blends and power products of quality to be
put into production. Developing blends, locating, and ordering chemicals,
working with racers, trying to satisfy race associations, helping
engine builders, trying to encourage sales in the eastern area of
the country, all of these were dealt with each and every day.
A relationship developed with Rich Conrath
of Innovative Motorcycle Research.
Blends were found to aid Rich’s Buell in the Pro Thunder class
of AMA. Respect and sharing of information continued prompting dyno
work by Rich on the last blends from Jim attracting the attention
of Newton Oil. Acceptance by the racer and the success of this fuel
will be such a tribute to a wonderfully honest and good person, ahead
of his time and with believing winning isn’t everything, it’s
all there is.”

industry along with the complete line of Tarragon racing fuels and
