I spoke to Jay's wife, Denise, a while ago ... we (NJBA) will be setting up something for donations that everyone will be able to help her through this tough time.
I spent a short time with her, her children & crew yesterday while unloading the broken parts from my truck into their trailer ... and you could see the sadness.
I wish them well.

not to change the subject here, but why doesn't all boat racer's not have a kill switch in their boats? the njba should require all boats to have one. this is very sad to have this happen and leave a wife and kids like this :cry: . i am sorry for this family to have to go through this. my boat was a back up boat to another boat that did not have a kill switch and hit the hillside at ming from what i reseach i did on it.

They do require it,and you have to show that it works during your tech inspection,along with other safety items as well, but you have to explain what a backup boat and hillside of ming means!

wish his family well,thoughts and prayers.

Yes it was a all but sad day for us. Another brother racer has departed our world and has been lifted up to the lord. I can only give my condolences to Denise and her children, And especially Mickala!!! Im so sorry!!!!

I don't know what type of power this boat had, but an ignition kill switch may not function in a WOT blown alky deal. The engine keeps running until the fuel is shut off.......MP

I jst got off the phone with Denise,She is a very strong and wonderful woman,she's holding up pretty danm good(better than me),she made it very clear to me ( she's kinda pushy like that :) )that Jay absolutely loved what he was doing, Jay has been racing stuff since he was a young teenager and loved everything that has an engine. This guy was a total perfectionist,if anyone has ever seen my ole Sanger,you'll know what I mean.She told me that he was very proud to be apart of the race family out there and had the upmost respect for everyone there.I know I am very proud to call him my friend,I had alot of good times hanging out in his garage talking shop and making fun!!!!!This guy is as genuine as they come.I will hurt and miss him for a long time to come.His ride was a beuatiful,demarco,blown alky dealio that was as sano as they come,did it all himself(with the help of his beautiful and incredible wife),we should all be so lucky to be as respected and loved as Jay is.His Military record is impeccable,the man is an outstanding individual.she said a memorial for him will be held on the 20th and ALL racers are welcome,I'll talk to her in a coulpe of days and she 'll tell me where, and what time and I'll post it(if its not done sooner) so if your some what near the Vegas area,I'm sure you are more than welcome to attend.sorry for carrying on but I felt compelled to give you a little insight on the man,he's a really special dude (as you all are).Thanks for raeding...............Darin aka Sangerless D :) :)

What he means is that the guy who owned the boat that he now owns, had the same problem with his throttle sticking at Lake Ming in 1996. Only this guy was lucky enough to jump out of the boat before it hit the hill and caught it on fire.

Thank you all very much for your sincere remarks. As a friend it is hard to comprehend what has happen. I can only image the roller coaster of emotions I will feel attending the funeral. Had I not meet Jay I would not be into boating and doing something that we all enjoy with our friends and families. We enjoyed numerous boating trips together and I cherish them all. Unfortunately Jay will not have that opportunity any more. Denise, my prayers are with you and the kids. I just wish I was coming to Vegas under different circumstances.
Instead of flowers Denise and the Family is asking donations to her Paypal account to offset funeral and family expenses. Please make donations to sheltiehome@cox.net .
The furneral will be May 20, 2006 at 11:00am at the Palm Mortuary located at 1600 S. Jones Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89146. On Sunday anyone who has a boat is asked to launch at Calville Bay Marina (Lake Mead) about 11:00 am and we will be going to Wishing Well to scatter Jay's ashes.
Love...Huggies

Jay Wallace, was a great spouse and parent, not unlike many of you.
The immediate family he leaves behind is his wife Denise and two children.
Tomorrow, Mothers Day will be one of many tough days for Denise.

Any donation amount is appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear of this, and I know it's been 10 years, but I've just found out this week.<tears>
Jay and I served in the Air Force at Carswell AFB, TX. We were the best of friends, and we did a lot of drag racing and riding dirt bikes. I was his best man when he married his second wife, and godfather is his son Jayson.
While in the military, he crossed trained into helicopter maintenance, and we lost contact with each other. If anyone has photo's or video of Jay and his boat, I'd sure love to see them.
Thanks,
