Episode 199 Jackie Meadows:"The ride ended as soon as it started" - a podcast by Leonard Duncan

Racing was a large part of the Meadows family household as Jackie grew up. Motorcycles did not make him happy but the day he road that first three-wheeler, his whole world changed. Racing Tri moto’s and other models until he could get on Kawaski, he went through the amateur classes with a goal to make it to the Pros. 

Jackie rode the nationals and got a chance to race Mickey Thompson stadium shows even before he was old enough to get in. As the factories pulled back and the independents did their best to take over and carry the industry into the future, Jackie was doing his best to transition from a factory-backed rider to an independent.

In the late 80s, Jackie and his family needed to make a big decision: leaving ATV racing and moving into Drag cars to focus on the family business. Ten to twelve years later Jackie got another chance with Kawaski, unfortunately, while this was going on Jackie's Father passed.
