Drag Racing Online has a short article and picture of Mike Cook Sr. and Jr.'s new Nostalgia Mustang Funny Car. The car looks great and according to the article Junior is slated to drive.
After last years health issues it is great to hear that Junior is healing or healed up!!!! Bob

I heard rumor that Jeff Gaynor is supplying the motor and tuneup. True or False?

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.
In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230
Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

Mike, it is so good to hear that not only are you healed up but got a NITRO FC liscense! Being a old Top Fuel drag racer, and having had your grandfather sign a 1960's picture for me, it brings great joy to my heart to see what you and your dad have accomplished together. Good luck on both the asphalt and of course Bonneville. And tell Gaynor that he sucks eggs............ (tell him Bob says hello).  Bob Drury p.s. tell your Dad that Geisler is doing better, walking around muttering and expousing or cursing everything in the world............ so just fine. |

Other Bonneville racers running at the Bakersfield March meet were Les Davenport (Target 550 ) and Rick White who was runner up in top fuel. Les was his class winner.Good showing by all. |

Big hugs and congratulations from way up north, Mike - and all of your crew and builders and family and everyone. Sorry we couldn't be there -- but who knows, maybe one of these days we'll make it out west.

Gary, Bruce has been dealing with back issues for several years and had back surgery a few months ago. He is walking around without aid but still having pretty constant pain problems. He would probably get better a lot faster if he wasn't defying his doctor's, wifes, and friends orders to take it easy, stay off his feet, etc. Old Brucie has never been big on following others advice, and just completed removing the blown small block and tranny out of his beloved "Geisler Construction" pink 51 GMC pickup which he has sold minus running gear. The running gear is going into, of course, a new street rod (either number six or seven) he has stashed between Huntington Beach and Vancouver. I am sure Bruces back problems have nothing to do with his sixty year history on the salt. Amongst (I am sure, many other racers) He has introduced Mike Cook Sr., Dyno and myself to the Salt, and cost each of us any chance of living a comfortable retirement.................. Bob  |
