I have met Jim several time. When he would come to Missouri he would stay with a good friend of mine Tim. Thats how I really came to know him. He just came to St. Louis and rode to Mid-Ohio a week or two ago. He was a great guy to know... I spoke to him while he and my buddy Tim was driving from St. Louis to Ohio... He left a wife and daughter behind.. He was in a car crash.. For you youngsters, he was the first American to win a mx gp oversea's.. He past away on Sunday. I have a poster here in my office that says...

Bronce, get sideway, Jim "the first" Pomeroy

Thanks Jim for the memorys...

Godspeed Jimbo....... Your smile and wit will me missed.......

Hate to hear this what a tragedy. He was still fast on a MX track I would go to the vintage MX Nationals and loved seeing him and Brad Lackey cutting the track up. He was one of the nicest guys you would want to meet. I will pray for his family. Very sad.

Sorry to hear that, Smitty. We always hate to lose heros and icons. Best wishes to the family.
