 :-(  I'm running his gear drive (noisey) in my rat truck.  I'll think of him every time those gears growl.  R.I.P,   Crow

  In the good old days, Pete was not nearly as famous as his older brother "Kong" Jackson who was the magneto king.  May they both rest in peace.............

Had never known the family connection Bob.

Two ledgends.

Will the later generations ever know, let alone APPRECIATE, contributions to motorsports from people like these ?
