Washington state's Jim Pomeroy was the first American to beat the Euros on their own soil in the 1973 Spanish Gran Prix. He also won the 500cc USGP in 1977 and was a popular and consistent performer stateside in the Inter-Am, Trans-Am and the AMA National series. More recently, Jim was involved in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) training courses and ran a motocross racing school. The 53-year old rider was killed near his home while driving his Jeep with his 7 year old daughter who was uninjured. A fund has been set up for his daughter Jamie. For more on Jim, click here.
