Oscar is a hidden gem in our industry today. Wheather you are dealing with Imports, Domestics, Road Racing, Tuning, it doesn’t matter. This new era of the Jackson Family legacy is about to show extreme talent from behind the wheel and have some fun while doing so!

What do you do when your old man is always at the track, or under the hood of a automobile. Like any smart person, or out of their mind idiot, you watch like a hawk and try to absorb the knowledge flying in the air. Many of us can relate but when senior is a very influential name in the sport, you have some pretty large shoes to fill. Oscar Jackson Jr is the perfect example of the old saying “the apple doesnt fall far from the tree” with his career path.

Oscar has been testing cars since years back, and riding moto since he was a kid, but this years tasks will be extra work for sure. On top of the day to day operations at Kraftwerks, Jr will be taking a new gig on behind the wheel of a well known Integra Type R for a Time Attack team. Greasyblocks.com proudly introduces you all to Oscar Jr.

Name: Oscar Jackson Jr.
State: SoCal
Daily Grind: Everything at KraftWerks. You’ve seen me here Ben, I am running around all day.
We see a good deal of you on the forums talking about your product, KraftWerks Superchargers.
How have the last few years been for your company: KraftWerks is our brand of Rotrex-based supercharger systems for import vehicles. It has been a crazy 4 years for us. With KraftWerks being a fresh start for us, a lot of things had to start moving quickly. Luckily we have had some great guys here pushing to make the company successful. We started a lot of projects at once, but we have continued to push. We will have our product list completed this year with the release of our 8th Gen Civic Si kits and 90-97 Miata Kits. We are all very excited to get these products on the market.

What are your plans for 2011: 2011 is going to be an exciting year. In 2010 I was testing supercharged projects more than anything. Near the end of 2010, I started driving Jade’s SportCar Motion CTR at select Time Attack events and a few other exhibition events. We had a lot of fun and had some success, even with our last minute, thrown together effort.

So for 2011, SportCar Motion gave me the opportunity to drive their KraftWerks-supercharged K24 ITR for Time Attack. This thing is a beast! I am really looking forward to getting out there this year and cutting some fast laps. I will be able to give you some more feedback after this initial weekend of where we are headed, but I like what we are doing so far.

I have some other racing projects I am trying to put together for the year as well, so 2011 is looking great!
I bet since you are Oscar Jackson’s son, people are judging you quickly based on that, without seeing your driving skill. what do you have to say to these folks: Haha, you had to go there! I have gotten used to the judging the past couple years. It’s something I will always be up against, so I don’t stress about it. I focus on the task at hand and let my performance do the talking. And shoot, I’d get the boot if Oscar Sr. felt I wasn’t capable of bringing wins home!
Where will we see you next: We will be heading out to the opening round of Redline Time Attack at Willow Springs this weekend. I am really excited to see what the SportCar Motion ITR can do out there. With the new KraftWerks power, it should be pretty fast. We are little behind on our testing, but I think Oscar Sr. and I can sort through it. Then I have some wheel to wheel stuff scheduled later in March. It should all be fun!
Close it out: I am ready for the 2011 race season to start and I will try to keep you up to date. Check out my twitter @oscarjacksonjr to see what is going on.

I want to thank Oscar Sr. for supporting me and being there for me when I need it. He keeps my head in the game and he builds the best cars. We are a great team and I would not be able to do this stuff without him. I learn something from him on a daily basis.
Thanks to Loi and Morgan at SportCar Motion for the opportunity to drive their cars. We drive each other crazy, but it works out in the end!

And uh… In the words of Charlie Sheen… “Winning!”

-Oscar Jr.

As you guys see, Jr stays behind the wheel and on track. Greasyblocks.com is excited to see where this year takes Jr. I know he will be on that Iphone snapping away pics, video, and tweeting faster than Rick Ross saying HUH!

SRT-4 Owners and lovers unite! The Time Attack series this year was dominated in the street class by this “evil skittle” and for good reason! Doug Wind is a local to me here in upstate  South Carolina, and this car notorious on all levels of bad-ass! Sitting on 285’s and boasting over 450hp, this bitch hauls.

Doug clinched the street Championship with the Forced Performance/Continental Tire-backed SRT-4 taking home a victory in damn near every event! This title, The East Region Buddy Club Street FWD Class, was more or less Doug’s playground! He even won the west coast Super Lap Battle Finals at Buttonwillow, setting a new lap record and winning the Street FF title in the event! Congrats to a great season in 2009, and the best of luck for 2010. I hear the car is already under the knife for changes, and I cant wait to see what those changes will be! Stay tuned to Greasy, and you might just get a sneak peek here and here!!!
