Notes: After much anticipation, Seaton's car was ready for racing in 1961. It had been just a dream in 1959, then work began on it in 1960, and finally finished in time for the 1961 season. Dean Moon built the 500 c.i. '59 Olds motor and Russ C. Aves built the chassis. He was occasionally paired with Tony Nancy in match races. He ran at Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo, and Bakersfield.

Notes: When he was thirteen years old, he was relocated with his family in 1941 to the WWII Internment Camp at Gila River in Arizona. After spending three years in the camp, Jim enlisted in the Army and served in the 82nd Airborne Division in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. During his service, Jim was a parachutist and worked as a Line Man, running communication lines and earning the World War II Victory Medal. After his military service, he returned to the central California coast and worked in radiator repair shops. He was a founding member of the Santa Maria Dragons car club that formed in 1953. He first raced a '30 Ford coupe with a 239 ci motor at the Santa Maria airport strip in C Competition Coupe-Sedan in 1954. In 1958, he built a '32 Ford Bantam coupe with a Pontiac engine. Most of his racing in '58 was done on the Dragons' strip at the Santa Maria airport. At the airport strip, he took class wins on Jan. 5 (122.62 mph) and Mar. 2 (115.138 mph). On Oct. 5, he took top time, top eliminator, and a class win trophy. On Feb. 16, he ran with a Cad engine at San Luis Obispo, taking top eliminator with 119.10 mph. He passed away in 2020.
