Pomeroy was the first American to beat
the Euros on their own soil in the 1973
Spanish Gran Prix. He also won the 500cc
USGP in 1977 and was a popular and
consistent performer stateside in the
Inter-Am, Trans-Am and the AMA National
series. More recently, Jim was involved
in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF)
training courses and ran a motocross
racing school. The 53-year old rider was killed
near his home while driving his Jeep
with his 7 year old daughter who was
uninjured.
A fund has been set up for his
daughter Jamie. For more on Jim,
