Race Report: 2016 SCCA Majors Tour Round 1

The 2016 SCCA Majors Opener at Auto Club Speedway

Chino, California (February 1, 2016) – Jackson Racing battles weather at the SCCA season opener in Fontana, CA.

The weekend started off fantastic during qualifying on Friday and Saturday morning. A well prepped car and good weather conditions yielded a STL (Super Touring Light) Class Record, with the Hasport/Jackson Racing Honda CRX. The Scion FR-S was also running great and Oscar Jackson Jr. piloted the car to the pole position for STU (Super Touring Under) Class.

The STL race was the first of four for the weekend (2 STL races and 2 STU races). The CRX began the race on pole, and maintained the position throughout the race. Fellow Jackson Racing supported driver, Clint Boisdeau, was right behind in his B16 powered Honda Civic. In the end, Jackson Racing got the 1-2 finish in the first STL race of the Majors Opener.

Next up was the Saturday STU class race. The Jackson Racing Scion FR-S started on pole for this race due to the great driving of Oscar Jr. He had a good start and was pulling away from the rest of the class. The car looked good as it circled the track, but unfortunately encountered an issue that took him out of the race. Luckily, it was a quick fix and the car would be ready for the next day.

Day 2 came with A LOT of dark clouds, and last minute decisions. The Jackson Racing team had prepped both cars the prior day in anticipation of rainy races. Looking at the sky, then the weather app, then back at the sky, the decision was to run the BFGoodrich KDW-R rain tires? Or the R1-S race tires? The decision was to run the race tires in the first race with the CRX as the rain wasn’t expected until late morning. Just before the start of the race, the drizzle started. The Hasport/Jackson Racing CRX jumped out and quickly put a good gap between it and the other cars, as there was a chance of the rain picking up. The rain did start to come down heavier, and Oscar Jr. did a fantastic job of maintaining the lead, even while he was slipping and sliding on the race tires. The little CRX took the win again! This car will only get faster and faster as we continue developing the car throughout the season.

Confident that the FR-S would run flawlessly this time out, Oscar Jr. was ready to go out there and have at it in the rain. The BFGoodrich KDW-R rain tires worked awesome in the downpour, especially in the flooded areas of Auto Club Speedway. The FR-S was perfect throughout the entire race, which turned into a tremendous lead, of over 1 minute, to our next competitor. 35 minutes later, the FR-S claimed the checkered flag and put another win in the books. This is only the start of a big development year. Now with the Roval races out of the way, a more traditional road course setup is being developed for our car. Stay tuned!

Jackson Racing Releases CARB Legal C38 Supercharger System for FR-S/BRZ

Jackson Racing releases their new C38 supercharger system for
2013+ Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ

Chino, California (January 21, 2016) – World leading supercharger experts Jackson Racing are proud to announce their new supercharger system for the Scion FR-S & Subaru BRZ is now available from $4095USD. The Jackson Racing FR-S/BRZ supercharger system delivers an impressive 50% increase in HP and 45% increase in TQ over stock! The power and torque delivery of the Jackson Racing supercharger system gives the FR-S/BRZ the perfect balance of power and handling. The Rotrex C38-81 supercharger provides a strong and smooth power band, while also maintaining perfect drivability and excellent fuel economy. Also, the Jackson Racing intercooler system is unique in the FR-S/BRZ market and has been engineered for proper bolt-on fitment.

The Jackson Racing FR-S/BRZ supercharger system has been extensively tested in all weather conditions to ensure factory drivability, excellent fuel economy, and proper emissions are retained while giving a substantial boost in performance. This includes not only the components in the system, but the Jackson Racing ECU calibration. The provided Jackson Racing ECU calibration is the product of hundreds of hours of dyno testing and thousands of miles of road and track testing. The Jackson Racing developed ECU calibration features proprietary tuning developments giving the supercharger system drivability equal to a factory vehicle. No hesitations, no hiccups, no band aids… Just a completely solid car. And on top of all that, the C38 FR-S/BRZ system is CARB legal!

“We knew the FR-S/BRZ platform would be a perfect match with our powerful, fuel efficient, emissions legal supercharger systems. After the 15,000+ miles of drivability and durability testing we have been through with the FR-S/BRZ supercharger system over the past year, it is hard to imagine the car without it,” said Oscar Jackson Sr., President and Chief Engineer of Jackson Racing. “When you buy from Jackson Racing you get over 30 years of experience in building high quality performance products and Championship winning engineering. All our system testing includes long, hard miles on the street as well as racetrack abuse in the hot California desert. It is crucial for us to test and abuse our products beyond even what our customers would. We drive our cars daily just like our customers, so our products must be built to the highest quality standards.”

Oscar Jackson Jr. adds, “Our FR-S/BRZ supercharger system is powerful yet drivable, making this car easy to drive at the racetrack. You can now steer the car with the throttle effortlessly and the power is seamless all the way to redline. The FR-S/BRZ is a great car stock, but once you drive one with the Jackson Racing system you realize this is how it should have come from the factory!”
