If so, then, what are the chances that 2 brothers, 3 years apart in age, growing up in the fifty's and sixty's, would both be car guys?
Enter Dick & Jim Davis, products of that era that introduced muscle cars, neat cars, fast cars, race cars, car songs on the radio, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, eight track tapes, drag strips, street racing, summer's of love, drive in restaurants, drive in movies, hippies, and war on the nightly news. . . . . to our society.
Dick went to College in 1967 while Jim was still in High School. Both Jim and Dick had already tasted the Wednesday Night Specials at the local Drag Strips, Minnesota Dragways and North Star Dragways, also the famous "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday" racing, as their budgets would allow. After college Dick got into the Auto Parts Business, while in 1970 Jim attended Technical school. The racing "Fuse" was lit!
Enter the 21st Century, with lots of oval track and now drag racing done reasonably successfully on limited incomes (from the pearls of wives and raising families), Dick and Jim are still "Car Guys". Dick works for Sea Foam® Sales Company as a Salesman since 1997, and Jim, since 2008, as head of Sea Foam®'s Technical Department.
Today after building and racing many race cars, disagreements between family (Dick & Jim), the addition of close friends like Sam Dercole, and second generation family members the race team has grown and today exists as SJD Racing with sponsorship help from Sea Foam® Sales Co. SJD Racing has become a true Family race team.
Currently the Team has two race cars. The second generation is starting to take over the driving duties. Dani Davis, (Jim's daughter) drives the teams Sea Foam® sponsored 1966 Chevy Nova and Jim Davis still drives the teams 2004 Vanishing Point Chassis Sea Foam® sponsored Chevy Camaro in NHRA Super Gas competition. Dick Davis and Sam Dercole have both retired from driving duties recently, and now act as team crew and car chiefs at the race track. Also helping at the race track are Dick Davis III (Dick's son) as chief mechanic, Julie (Dick's daughter), and Kayla Davis (Jim's Daughter) doing all video recording.
