Former racer Jim Lester, 38, died Wednesday night in a traffic accident in Florida. According to news reports in the News Journal and on www.news-journalonline.com, Lester died when his van rear-ended a semi-truck that had slowed due to a lane closure on a local highway. Lester, a native of the Northeast who had raced with LRRS, F-USA, CCS and AMA, moved with his wife and children to Deland, Florida after retiring from racing. His most recent racetrack involvement was working tech with the Team Hammer Advanced Riding School & Track Rides at Daytona last month, and he was involved in plans to improve future Team Hammer events at Daytona. More details will be posted as they become available. ~http://www.news-journalonline.com/NewsJournalOnline/News/WestVolusia/03WVolWEST04A042905.htm~
