On Friday night hot rod legend Jocko Johnson died of a heart attack. Jocko’s long and rich history in the auto racing world included working with the Barris Brothers to designing radical dragsters to reinventing the engine with his power ring design. Jocko was a unique character with a brilliant mind. And anyone who has tasted his “Jocko’s Tacos” will tell you he was damn fine cook too. He will be sorely missed.
