Re: Jr Stock Book
Great video Mark. Lots of cool pictures, especially the cars on the back of haulers - old school, awesome. I have the book ordered and can't wait until it arrives. Is the 65 Olds 4-4-2 at about the 2:11 mark in the video Pete Kost? It appears to be, can't quite make out the name on the door. If so, what a great plus for me. I have known Pete for about 35+ years. We always talk at great lengths about Drag Racing whenever we see each other. It is always fun talking with him and Dino. We lost Pete's brother Bill a few years ago and still miss talking with him.

Re: Jr Stock Book
Probably is. I've never seen pics of his 65 car, but I'm sure he had one.

Re: Jr Stock Book
I was just at Barnes and Noble this morning. Nothing in their computer yet. Is the book still on schedule for the 15th? I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my copy. Should be a great read and awesome addition to my book collection.
Sorry for the delay Mark. I talked with Pete Kost the other day and yes the 65 4-4-2 is his. I quess I will have him sign the picture when I get my copy.

Re: Jr Stock Book
I was able to attain an advance copy of this book and it is a very well done book. I have not been able to read everything in great detail yet but one of the best features I have found is that in the back there is a listing of every racer mentioned in the book and what pages they are found on. A quick scan of this index shows a few names we still see on this message board. Another post mentioned Pete Kost, he is listed in the index 12 times.
The book starts out in 1955 with the ground work for Jr. Stock but really focuses on 1964-1971. Thanks, Chad |
