For those of you who live in the South Bay, saw this article in the Easy Reader. I’ve seen this guy riding his bike in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach many times over the years. Never knew he was a Top Fuel drag racer. Cool story. Figured some of you guys may have known Jim Boyd.

PS and looking at the name of the author on the byline, she may be his daughter.
