Jim Clark was born 04:03:1936, into a Scots farming family, at an early age the family moved to Duns, Berwickshire in the Borders region.
Jim started entering local road rallies and hillclimbs in his sunbeam-Talbot his first competitive event was in 1956. By 1958 he was a member of the Borders Reivers team racing D type Jaguars and Porsche in national events, winning 18 races.
On Boxing Day 1958 he raced a Lotus Elite to second place behind Colin Chapman, the man who would later launch Jimmy to super stardom.
His first appearance in Formula Junior came one year later on Boxing Day 1959 behind the wheel of a Gemini-BMC of the Chequered Flag.
Jim Clark made his F1 Grand Prix debut, part-way through the season, at the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort on June 6, 1960. "Lotus had lost Surtees, as he had gone to the Isle of Man to do some serious motorcycle racing, so they had Ireland, Stacey and Clark, the last-named being an acceptable substitute." He retired on lap 49 with final drive failure.
His first Drivers' World Championship came driving the Lotus 25 in 1963, winning seven out of the ten races and Lotus its first Constructors' World Championship. That year he also competed in the Indianapolis 500 for the first time, and only the oil on the track from winner Parnelli Jones's car prevented him from winning, as he finished in second position and won Rookie of the Year honours. In 1964 Clark came within just a few laps of retaining his World Championship crown, but just as in 1962, an oil leak from the engine robbed him of the title, this time conceding to John Surtees. Tyre failure damaging the Lotus' suspension put paid to that year's attempt at the Indianapolis 500. He made amends and won the Championship again in 1965 and also the Indianapolis 500 in the Lotus 38 after foregoing a drive in the Monaco Grand Prix due to a clash of dates.
He also drove in the Tasman series in Australasia winning the title in 1965, 1967 and 1968
Lotus did not have a suitable car for the new 3 litre 1966 World Championships and resorted to using a 2 litre Coventry Climax powered Lotus 33. Clarks first points did not come until the British GP followed by a 3rd place in the Dutch GP. From the Italian G.P. they resorted to using the complex BRM H16 engine with which he won the US Grand Prix. He also finished 2nd at Indianapolis behind Graham Hill
During 1967 Lotus and Clark used three completely different cars and engines. The Lotus 43 performed poorly at the opening South African Grand Prix, so Clark used an old Lotus 33 at the following Monaco Grand Prix, retiring with suspension failure. Lotus then began its fruitful association with Ford-Cosworth. Their first car, the Lotus 49 featuring the most successful F1 engine in history, the Ford-Cosworth DFV, won its first race at the Dutch Grand Prix, driven by Clark. He won with it again at the British, United States and Mexican Grands Prix; and, in January 1968, at the South African Grand Prix.
On 7 April 1968, Clark died in a racing accident at the Hockenheimring, in Germany. He was originally slated to drive in the BOAC 1000 km sportscar race at Brands Hatch, but instead chose to drive in the Deutschland Trophäe, a Formula Two race, for Lotus at the Hockenheimring
Clark achieved 33 pole positions and won 25 races from his 72 Grands Prix starts in championship races. He is remembered for his ability to drive and win in all types of cars and series, including a Lotus-Cortina, with which he won the 1964 British Touring Car Championship; IndyCar; NASCAR, driving a Ford Galaxie for the Holman Moody team; Rallying, where he took part in the 1966 RAC Rally of Great Britain in a Lotus Cortina; and sports cars. He competed in the Le Mans 24 Hour race in 1959, 1960 and 1961.

Jim works as a Marble Maker in the tiny town of Sheffield, Tasmania.
18 months ago, Jim spent his time in the mountains chopping firewood, rarely going into town. After his contract was up he had no choice but to venture down from the mountain looking for work.
A friend, asked if he's like to have a go at making glass marbles. It seems Jim had a real knack for it and has been manipulating glass ever since.
I also found out the both Jim and I had attended Australia's first rock concert weekend, inspired by Woodstock. It seems Jim remembered a lot more about this event than I did, but then again, it was back in 1972 - my teenage years are just a blur now. It was great to have met Jim and hear his story, I bet he has plenty more.

The OLD Jim Crow laws descriminated against African-Americans, codified into law Racial Segregation, and violated the Right to Vote by legitimizing voter suppression and minority disenfranchisment.
The NEW Juan Cuervo laws hurt ALL Hispanics--from undocumented immigrants, to legal residents, to naturalized citizens...and it even targets natural born citizens...because of the color of their skin.
BROWN SKIN IS NOT A CRIME. NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL.
This is a painting from Jim Corbett's house at Kaladhungi, it is now a museum dedicated to Jim.
Edward James "Jim" Corbett (25 July 1875 in Nainital, India – 19 April 1955 in Nyeri, Kenya) was a British hunter, conservationist, author and naturalist, famous for slaying a large number of man-eating tigers and leopards in India.
Corbett held the rank of colonel in the British Indian Army and was frequently called upon by the government of the United Provinces, now the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, to slay man-eating tigers and leopards who had killed people in the villages of the Garhwal and Kumaon region. His success in slaying the man-eaters earned him much respect and fame amongst the people residing in the villages of Kumaon, many of whom considered him a sadhu (saint).
Corbett was an avid photographer and author, after his retirement, authored the Man-Eaters of Kumaon, Jungle Lore and other books recounting his hunts and experiences, which enjoyed much critical acclaim and commercial success. Corbett spoke out for the need to protect India's wildlife from extermination. The Jim Corbett National Park in Kumaon was named in his honour in 1957.
