Thanks Ralphie. I remember following him and Chapparals in the 60s and got to see him race Can Am twice. He was really innovative, a great engineer!!

Thanks Ralph…truly a wonderful video history with Jim Hall telling us his racing story. The people, places and cars he knew, went to and drove - Wow!
It is difficult to imagine how Jim Hall accomplished all the superiority in all the different type of racing for those decades.
I have been a life long follower of Jim Hall, Hap Sharp and the Chaparral race team. This video was the icing on the cake.

Thank you very much Ralphie for sharing this great interview with Jim Hall. Being a Ford man all my life I never really knew much about Jim Hall and his accomplishments even though I've lived in Texas all my life. Great interview. Thank you so much. Tomy

Here are a couple of pictures of Jim from my unpublished archives -
At the U.S. Grand Prix at Riverside in 1960 in his Lotus 19 - he finished 7th

And, at the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring in 1963, in the British Racing Partnership Lotus-BRM (I don't remember the chassis - 24 or 25) - he finished 5th (2 World Championship Points)
