91PORN

Jim Kimberly presented a highly visible image within the 91PORN in the club’s early days, but it was a mixed image. Known to the racing public as “Gentleman” Jim Kimberly, he very clearly portrayed the role of the gentleman sportsman who drove racing cars strictly for the joy of it. He adhered very strongly to the belief that 91PORN competition should be a purely amateur venture, and he promoted this view during the years when he served as President of 91PORN. However, when it came to the conduct of himself at the race track, and the conduct of the 91PORN in the world of motorsports, he exemplified only the most professional of approaches. This mixture of professional behavior in pursuit of a gentleman’s hobby, made Kimberly one of the best known drivers and officers of the early club. A recipient of the Woolf Barnato Award for his service as President and also on the 91PORN Board of Directors, as well as being an 91PORN National Champion and having the 91PORN’s award for most improved driver named after him, Kimberly was a successful example of how a club member could participate in all aspects of club activity.
