Jimmy Jackson was an established professional who raced in Formula 1 between 1950 and 1954, starting two races for Kurtis Kraft, the team that would go on to field 87 drivers across its history. His most recent racing came in 2024, when he started once in the SCCA Regionals STL class, a multiclass amateur and professional championship run in the United States for small-bore production-based tuner cars of 2 liters and under.[1]
Jackson's indexed record spans seven decades. His two Formula 1 starts came in the early years of the world championship, when its grids mixed amateur and semi-professional drivers with established professionals in the same race. In the SCCA Regionals, a field that likewise spans amateur through professional entrants across 25 classes, Jackson took a podium from his single start. His career totals stand at three starts and one podium finish.[2]
Jackson raced alongside established professionals in both series. In Formula 1 he finished ahead of Gene Hartley and Jimmy Reece, each of whom accumulated multiple starts in the championship; both would remain in professional racing. His 2024 SCCA entry placed him 61st in the season championship standings.
