Milt Cook a long time racer at the drags and LSR passed away on Jan.27th. He is the father of
Mike(Jelly Bean) Cook that runs at El Mirage and Bonneville. Milt is a member of the SCTA Rod Riders club. I drove a couple of his Chrysler powered dragsters in the 60s. A friend to all racers. All around good guy.
RIP Milt. :-(

Milt was cool. Around 1965 he was having a battle over some property he owned in Carson, Ca. So he named his new dragster " The City of Carson Sucks ". Everyone called him Junior.

RIP Junior

If you can't race it or take it to bed - it ain't worth having.
