Re: Best Oldsmobile Super Stock Of All Time?
There have been many great Oldsmobiles from the all over the country. Since I am from the Northwest, the Kost Brothers (Pete and Bill) have a soft spot for me. I have known them since the 70's and have seen many great running Oldsmobiles form them. I know Pete even had one of the Smothers Brothers cars for awhile. My favorite is the '72 Rainier Beer car. I don't have any pictures of it, but remember seeing at the local tracks all the time. We lost Bill a few years ago, but Pete is still out there doing what he loves at 81 years of age. The car Pete drives at this time is a 1977 Cutlass w/ a 403 in it. Last seen in J/SA

Re: Best Oldsmobile Super Stock Of All Time?
If you include Stockers, how come nobody mentioned Buck Jednick's Omega? During the two years NHRA initiated the index system with no breakout, he was deadly.

Re: Best Oldsmobile Super Stock Of All Time?
Not sure. I talked with him the year after NHRA did away with the no breakout, but that was the last.

Re: Best Oldsmobile Super Stock Of All Time?
I ran into him in the early 80's at an IHRA race. He had an Opel I think , running in Modified. I believe he had moved up into the Carolinas.
Never heard any more after that. I guess he went the way of IHRA Modified Eliminator.
