Marvin (aka Jack James) was something to watch in the Dowker roadster in the late 70's and early/mid 80's at Winchester and Salem.

Anyone have any idea how old Marvin was?

Growing up in a racing household in Michigan, he was a legend even when I was very young. R.I.P.

Growing up during the TriSac days when my dad ran with them.. Marv and the Dowker cars (all of them) were always a force to reckon with.

RIP #72
