Good point Danny. Yesterday I visited with Pete Kost and had him sign the photos of his Pro Stock car from the 70's. They are in the book "Pro Stock Drag Racing of the 70's Photo Archive" by Howard V. Koby. During our visit, which lasted about 2 hours, we discussed some of the greats during that era. He mentioned Jenkins, Glidden, Landy, Wally Booth and many, many more. Ever time I see him and Dino at the track it takes me back to a wonderful time in drag racing. I, sometimes, wish I was a little older to have experienced that era first hand. I am only 62, but do remember much from that time. Anyway, we will all move forward with memories from photos, books or videos of the Great Days of Drag Racing.
