JIM MICHAELIAN PASSES:
THOUGHTS FROM RRDC PRESIDENT, BOBBY RAHAL
It is with sadness that the RRDC and Motorsports has lost Jim Michaelian, the driving force for decades of the Long Beach Grand Prix.
From the beginning, Jim played a crucial role along with Chris Pook, to build the Grand Prix and upon assuming the role of President, continued to build the event into one of the most important Motorsport events in the World.
Jim was a passionate believer in what Long Beach became and in motor racing in general.
And equally so as a driver. Jim’s love for the Sport knew no bounds and worldwide Motorsport benefitted from his participation.
Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with Mary Michaelian and her family on Jim’s passing.
Godspeed Jim.
