GENTLEMAN JIM HENDRICKSON
AKA
"MR. MODIFIED"
"MR. CLEAN" "THE WHITE KNIGHT"
HE WILL ALWAYS BE JIMMY TO ME AND A TRUE AMERICAN HERO
ANYONE WHO HAS READ "LONG RIDE"
OR WHO KNOWS ME, CAN TELL YOU THAT JIMMY HENDRICKSON WILL ALWAYS BE A VERY
SPECIAL PERSON TO ME. THE THING IS, I HAVE A LOT OF COMPANY IN THAT CATEGORY.
I FOUND THAT OUT WHEN I STARTED POKING AROUND IN HIS PERSONAL LIFE BACK
IN JULY OF 1994. THESE STILLS WERE TAKEN FROM A VIDEO THAT MY SON ERIK SHOT
THAT DAY AT JIM'S HOME IN FREEPORT, LONG ISLAND. WE HAD
A GRAND TIME THAT DAY LOOKING AT HIS RESTORED x-3 MODIFIED,AND DOING SOME
RUNNINGBOARD RACING ALONG WITH JIM Jr., MARTY HIMES, MATT THE NEWSDAY PHOTOGRAPHER
AND THE HENDRICKSON FAMILY. I THOUGHT THOSE THAT KNEW HIM WOULD ENJOY THESE
CANDID SHOTS JUST LIKE THEY ENJOYED WATCHING JIM RACE & WIN ALL OVER
THE PLACE.
