JB Old Guard
Profile
Sponsor: Rutherford
Jefferson Barracks has stood on the western bank of the Mississippi since 1826. It has outlasted the armies that built it, the wars that defined it, and apparently, the Martian occupation that ended everything else. The JB Old Guard intend to keep it that way.
They don’t talk much about how they came together. Veterans, mostly, with a handful of civilians who showed up one day and never left. They found the Barracks in reasonable shape, the cemetery intact, and made a decision that someone needed to stay. Nobody appointed them. Nobody needed to.
Rutherford’s sponsorship money goes directly into maintenance — groundskeeping equipment, headstone restoration, fence repair. The racing is a means to an end. The Old Guard are not unaware of the irony of funding a memorial to the war dead by participating in televised vehicular combat. They have collectively decided not to think about it too hard.
On the circuit they are methodical, disciplined, and extremely well armed. Rutherford’s hardware tends toward the heavy end and the Old Guard use it without showmanship or ceremony. They are not here to entertain.
