Jim O'Brien was a legendary club member, who for a span of four decades personified the best of NEMA. Jim was dedicated car owner, an innovative fabricator, and a brilliant engine builder. For years he served as a NEMA contest board member, once a vice-president, and for 13 consecutive years as the club’s treasurer. His life-long dedication to the club was truly outstanding and in 2003, he was inducted into the NEMA Hall of Fame. However, most notably Jim was always one that stood-up and fought for fair competition and defended the “little guy”.
In the same spirit of Jim O’Brien, the NEMA Lites were created with two principals - cost effectiveness and fair competition. While the NEMA midgets are considered the fastest midgets in the world, the NEMA Lites boast to be “lite” on the wallet, making them the perfect fit to highlight the Jim O'Brien memorial race.
On Saturday September 7th, the Northeastern Midget Association Lites will shine at Star Speedway for the fifth running of this memorable event.
Please help make this the BIGGEST event in NEMA Lite’s history!
