Jimmy loved participating in and promoting drag racing, he didn’t get the nickname five-0 Farmer for nothing. His motto was work hard and play harder and he lived it every day. He loved his family and friends. He always enjoyed having people around, and everyone knew it. He made a living as a salesman and if you had something to sell Jimmy could find someone to buy it.
