James was widely known as “Mr. Ford.”
Green Valley NationalsJames began his racing career on the circle track circuit in 1950. In the late 1950s, James began drag racing on the quarter-and-eighth-mile tracks. Two of James’ most famous race cars were “Rowdy Willy,” which won the Top 10 In The World Honors in 1960, and “Remember Me” That Won World Point System in 1966.
James sold Rowdy Willy to the Charioteer Drag Racing club in Hobbs, N.M., and the driver for the Charioteers was Lee Proctor of Odessa. Rowdy was in a featured article in the fall 2004 edition of “Gasser” magazine. The last hot rod was a little Falcon Ranchero powered by a 289-cubic inch engine. James won the world championship at Green Valley in 1966 with Remember Me.
