Dear Mr. Art Moore
I am very interested in your uncle Elmo M. Jackson's father, Earl M. Jackson. Did you know Earl was an
accomplished auto racer? I am an automotive historian, specializing in west coast auto racing circa 1909-1919. Earl raced against Barney Oldfield and many other greats of that era.
He drove in an event famous in its day, but now forgotten, 1913 road race from LA to Sacramento.
Regards, Eric S. Coyne

Art,
Here's a story I wrote for the CSAA Westways magazine about the July 4, 1913 Los Angeles to Sacramento Panama-Pacific Road Race that your ancestor, driver Earl M. Jackson, entered a car in. His entry was car No. 26, a REO entered by Waterman Bros. of Fresno. His father-in-law (brother-in-law?)
Grover Epperson (Earl's wife - Flossie's father [brother?]) was the riding mechanic! I appreciate all your help with this project.

The first decade of the 20th Century were still very much the horse and buggy days. But sure as heck, it usually didn't take long after a handful of cars appeared in any given community for folks to begin speculating about which vehicle was faster - and which driver was more skilled.
By the time Californians began preparing to celebrate the nation's natal day in 1913, auto racing was a well established sport with legions of avid fans.
Enterprising automobile dealers had taken notice of that often paraphrased purchasing phenomena: Race it on Sunday and they'll buy it on Monday.
The power of this formula wasn't lost on George and Edward B., owners of Waterman Bros., Fresno's largest automotive dealership. They handled sales for the Winton, White, Buick and Reo lines. Waterman Bros. sent in an entry for 20-year-old Eddie Syms Waterman, George's son, to drive a 1910 40-hp Model 17 Buick. Waterman Bros. also sponsored a second Panama-Pacific entry? Reo No. 26 - to be driven by Fresno driver Earl Jackson, a speed pilot of some renown.
Endurance races such as the Los Angeles to Phoenix Road Races - held from 1908-1914 across the Southwest's trackless stretches of desert wasteland - passed into the fabled lore of early motoring as drivers' trials and tribulations were recounted by eyewitnesses and magnified upon in many publications of the day.
