’Big and Black!’ - Star Car Interview - 103 Jack Deacon - 1975 Lincoln Continental
A little message in my inbox on September 27th sparked a week of being secretive and an interview with Team Black man 103 Jack Deacon ahead of the World Final on Saturday 6th October.
J - I’ve got you on my World Final car mate - it’s a 1975!
As you can tell this got me very intrigued to find out more!
B - Oh interesting! Do we get any previews?
J - No one has seen other than Team Black so if you can promise to keep it a secret then you may!
Anyone who knows me knows it’s hard for me to keep a secret but I’m a man of my word so only now publishing it on the Friday before the meeting!

Jack confirmed that there would be no rodding from the Team Black guys in the last chance races, well himself and 77 Patch at least! I then delved into a bit of history of the Lincoln itself.
B - Where did you get the car from?
J - It came from Emmen.
B - Mega! Was that off of a driver or one you’d seen while over there?
J - It came from 1 Maai (Maarten Steenbekkers of RAAL 6005)
B - How long did it take you to build?
J - It took around 4 weeks.

B - Reflecting on the season, how has it been for you?
J - Yeah mate, been really good through the whole year couldn’t fault this year what so ever!
B - What has been your highlight so far, other than Danika giving birth to your son Jack Jnr?
J - Other then that highlights are travelling to many different tracks; joining and having a great team around me and War of the Worlds Teams.
B - What’s the plan for the remainder of the year?
J - The rest of the year are crashy meetings tbh so just get world final out the way and have fun for rest of the year!
B - That sounds a good plan! Who do you think will win the title race?
J - Hopefully 617 (Team Black captain Jack Overy) but I think Bro (247 Lee Clarke) deserves the Gold now!
B - 100% both contenders although Bro will be looking to get through the last chance. Is there anyone you would like to thank before the big night?
J - Mainly dad and Danika for all the through the whole year late nights early starts and the people who’s also helped at yard and at meetings! Thanks to A & A Tyre Care for being a great sponsor!
We wish Jack all the best for the support races and look forward to seeing the Lincoln at full wrecking display!
