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!

This bolt on/supercharged Corvette seemed to smoke off the line, but still broke a 1.6 60′. Cant get enough of vette videos around these parts!

I have rubber all in my Luie Luggage, trackbite on my gear, and a vp racing through my veins, along with TONS of coverage from arguably one of the most exciting races I have ever been a part of! American muscle never sounded so pleasing, and Imports have never been so quick. If you missed out, you missed a hell of a time!

You know, normally I blast these blogs out with some input, but this time I wont sit around and babble. Hands down, my new favorite event of the year. This had something for everyone, and you can see that in the upcoming gallery. And if this coverage looks shy, that’s because there is another part coming. There were so many usable pics, that I had to split it up into sections. So check it out, and respond with your thoughts on the coverage!

You should know by now that you will see drama on Greasy. Check out this Supra.

That John Force burnout was pretty wild looking, until…

…he hit the wall. I am not sure if he had a break, a malfunction, or just was a bad driver with a big burnout. My homie Julian from Nyce1s knows him and says we can rule out number 3. In any case, I am sure it will just buff out!

Check out more in the gallery!

Make sure to check in for Part 2 of this coverage next week!

I have heard mad rumors about this car locally. People all seem to have a different view of it but one thing is for sure,  it looks stock as hell!

I once wondered about this car being stock and there are a few videos talking about it.

Is it stock? Is he bombing the shit out of it? I have a few pictures of a completely stock car!

Looks stock around these parts to me! The automatic car seems to be just a daily. I would possibly be more worried about the car sitting in this gentleman’s garage…

…shot out to my fellow GreasyBlock’r Kyle Barnett on his photos. Kid is dope with the camera!

This 99 Viper GTS holds the Record for fastest:

• Stock clutch pass
• Stock axle pass
• Stock Trasmission pass
• Stock Longblock pass
• Supercharged 20″ Tire pass

1/4 times: 9.56 @148 on drag radials

1/8 times: 6.04 @117 on drag radials

Here is a view of the car running:

GreasyBlocks will have more up on these cars soon. Keep it dialed in!
