Tice always preformed as our contract stated except for the 1979 AHRA Bracket Nationals, which was a very small gamble in comparison to our AHRA Grand Americans. I disagreed with Jim on a few issues of that particular race and it's financial loss, but he was standup over all the other events and sanctioning issues the 3 years I was involved with AHRA and Tice. I know every bill was paid to racers, vendors and other interests at the 1979 AHRA Bracket Nationals as I paid those bills. My brother partnered with Tice for the AHRA Gateway Nationals during the next 4-5 years after I left SLIR and he never spoke ill of Tice in any of the discussions we had following Jim Tice death. What happened with AHRA after Tice died sounds like another matter but I can't help you there and I don't trust one sided debates. I was with NHRA for my short additional venture in promoting drag races.
