I think Jac is one of the most talented ,and underrated drivers in the world today.He has won most of the big races at their beggining,and has shown down the line he has what it takes to be a good racer.I wish someone would recognize his talents,and in the coming season put him in a competitive car.Trust me you will see the results.From a race fan and friend.

At 56 years of age, regardless of past results and talent, rides with owners of competitive cars are few. I look for Jac to race a very limited schedule with a few owners until he retires, probably within a couple years. I've been a fan of his for nearly 40 years and he is one of the best, maybe not the top 3 but at least the top 5.

THIS..... Unless you are a Kinser or a Swindell finding a quality ride at 50+ years of age is difficult at best. There are alot of equally talented drivers out there that are 10-15 years younger without rides at all. I wish him the best of luck but it's a tough and competitive market.

Agree with everything you say. I am a big fan of his too. At his age though, he is done attracting the big ride.

I've been a haud fan for since i was a young kid...I'm 30 now and still love watching him wheel it. However i will echo what's already been said... The top rides are going to the 30-40 year olds...in some cases younger. Most of the older guys are guys who will win 1-2 times a year and go easy on equipment. Jac is kinda a hybrid...he's older yet still is a checkers or wreckers. I hope he can at get a solid team to run the renegade series. IMO it makes more sense for him at this stage. He can still be competitive,sell more t shirts to local crowd, build the wild child brand to young kids that go to the races with their dads who have been fans for years. However, i cant live his life so i wish them the best in the future. Ill follow and watch where ever he ends up.

If you come to Australia in a few weeks you will see Jac in action at Valvoline Raceway in Sydney (Parramatta). You will also see Brad Sweet, Tim Kaeding, Kerry Madsen and Ian Madsen. There should be a few other well known drivers at the Scott Darley race at VR on Jan 16 and 17 including Davey Heskin. It's going to be great! I suggest that if you are freezing somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere you jump on a plane and come over ! It is summer here and the racing will be great.
