I met Jack probably 40 years ago. He told me his dad had owned the Unlimited hydro "Such Crust" and that he's just moved here from Texas. Seems Jim McKean and Bob Weikart both worked for Continental Airlines and lived in Fountain Valley, California. I kind of thought Jack worked for Continental Airlines as I knew he flew planes. (Jack actually sold airplanes and has for many years. He specializes in Corporate Aircraft).
Jack raced 280 inboard hydro, a Ron Jones owned by Jerry Styles and Jack. When Jack raced 280, I was helping Rod Zapf a lot, and never was too close or friendly with Jack or Jerry. I was busy, they were busy, we just never were really close.
Jack and I run into each other, now and then at lunch or at a local restaurant. I asked him to share some of his pictures and this is what he sent. I know he drove Unlimiteds, also, but I don't know much about these pictures, other than to say, "Thanks, Jack for sharing"...I'm hoping Jack and other will add to this posting. There are 60 pictures. 59 more pictures, can't seem to get the others posted.
