60,70’s modify racer! My uncle Cookie passed

[Johnnyscarnuts]

Hey guys I’m not sure if you ever heard of a racer called
“Cookie Visconti”
From Freeport Long Island New York he was my uncle we used to go to Freeport in the late 70s early 80s to watch him race modified.
As a kid I remember the smoke the smell the bleachers the pits I was very young at the time and it’s one of the things that got me into cars .
He was a great dad, uncle, & racer
his son continues to race Today
John Junior.
Below are a couple of pictures of him his son and his sons race car

This is a shame and my hart goes out to you and yours. I have lost all of my ants and uncles over the years all the kids are gone on my dads side. Will miss them till I take that journey to heaven. Where we all can be together again. God speed to him and hope he gets to drive on the golden track up their. Russ.

Just checking buddy. Good job. Keep busy and some one will buy that beautiful car for a decent price. Time is on your side. Who knows if you keep working on it you may fall back in love with it. Russ.

I don't think so from what I see. At least you can drive it. I set my bucket seat in mine and dream of the day. Just think you can work on this one but the newer car's you have to get a computer geek just to know what is wrong with it. These car's are pretty simple and straight forward to work on.
