WERA LOSES LONG TIME WERA OFFICIAL

On Sunday, February 22, 2021, WERA Motorcycle Roadracing racer and official James Roth, 54 years of age, passed away from a heart attack.  Jim has been a fixture in the WERA paddock since the 1980s and was always the one who helped anyone that needed it. He was the one who could make you laugh no matter how down you were.  It was his birthday Sunday and to say we will miss him is not enough.  We are heartbroken and send all our thoughts and prayers to his son, Steven Roth, and his daughter, Lexi Roth, who also officiate at our events.  God got a good man this weekend.  RIP Jim you touched many and were loved by more!  We will update once the family decides on services or if they need anything.
