This just in, via e-mail:

This is a quick note to inform you of the death of Dr. James R. Adams, 59. He passed away early this morning from cardiac failure. He is survived by his three children, Justin (WERA Expert #159), Jim, and Christina.

He had been involved with racing since the 1950s. He was passionately committed to racing safety. He actively researched track safety through the Tachyon Sports Injury Research Foundation and was always around to help others at the track. He fully embraced the sprit of racing and the racing community. He was thankful for the folks at Roadracing World for providing a fantastic publication and resource.

He will be missed.
