Jim and I in the first Muellerized... shop, 2004. The only regret I ever heard for my grandfather was driving him home that day, 'Johnny, everyone always tells me to stop working, that I have done enough, but I don’t want to.' 3 John Muellers, Nephew Ray, Grandpa Jim, and myself.
Jim, my mother Lola and I celebrate my first racing victory, SCCA drivers school, Riverside Raceway July 1985. My father Lee, sister Michelle, and Grandpa Jim holding my nephew Ray, 1985. My father Lee and Grandpa Jim worked together better than any 2 people I have ever seen in my career, 1983. The Master of the milling machine, Jim puts his 60+ years of experience to good use, 1984.

Jim faced every challenge head on, there has not been a better example of a great human being in my life, he was rock solid thru every situation, on and off of the race course. Jim examines the first race car that Dad drove that did not have his direct involvement. These pictures show the emotion of how hard that was for Jim, thankfully Joe Huffaker Sr. prepared national championship cars for Dad to drive, Road Atlanta 1972. Jim (pictured with Lee) played a major role in the national championship cars that Kas Kastner ran for my father to drive, Daytona 1969. Jim (in cowboy hat) and my mother Lola (in triumph shirt) look on as Dad waits for the go ahead to leave the pits, Riverside 1969.
