Was talking to my racing buddy up in Seattle (Auburn) and asked if he remember Jocko. He reminded me that he finished 30th in the last race at Riverside in June 88 the week before the Pocono accident. He mentioned that the car had a big ? mark on the rear quarter panels

- Very nice build! *NM*
- That's nice. Unusual paint scheme. The Matador was a little unusual in itself, but competitive enough. *NM*
  - Thanks....I am bias....... *PIC*
    - Love it! Even with that real life patina. But what potential! Whoa! *NM*
- I remember him running at Riverside a couple of times in the late 80's. He was running a Chevy and I believe he entered as a Winston West car since at the time they still reserved 2 spots for WW. *NM*
  - You may be thinking of someone else......
    - It was an unusal enough name for SoCal that I remembered it. Here's a reference I found. He didn't qualify so probably wouldn't be in most lists especially since the car was listed as a Winston West car. A lot of the eastern and non NASCAR drivers that entered Riverside did *LINK* *PIC*
      - Must be why Jacko does not show in any results lists. Maybe an attempt ro use a WW owners car to get in under the WW provision??? Who knows what back in the dark ages!! *NM*
        
        He shows up in a lot of results lists. NASCAR Cup, ARCA, & NASCAR West. *NM* *LINK*
        
        Riverside only is what Wayne and I were talking about....knew he was in lots of other races......why I built models of his cars....if I had a Javelin kit.......
    - He was also involved in the crash at Pocono that effectively ended Bobby Allison's career, Ironically another one time AMC Racer...
