His time is also spent promoting racing to the young driver who is looking for a step up into the exciting world of SCCA racing.

Jim
Elder grew up on the island of St. Thomas where at the age of 13,
his love of racing began with the purchase of his first motorcycle.
On a dirt road the seed was planted. The thrill of the fast track
was not one to be easily forgotten. No surprise since Jim’s
dad, Pete Elder, had been a race car driver in the late 40’s
and early 50’s running sprint cars and midgets in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois. Mr. Elder is the designer and builder
of the first Dolphin Formula 500 race car.
