Milk Money - Paperback

HOW A QUEENS MILKMAN BUILT AN EMPIRE, LOST EVERYTHING, AND BUILT IT BACK

George "Kook" Kryssing Sr. delivered milk at three in the morning and welded exhaust headers in his garage during the day. He had no diploma, no investors, no business plan -just scarred hands and a refusal to quit.

From a cramped garage on Long Island, he built Kook's Headers into a name that dominated drag strips and stock car circuits from coast to coast. Race teams lined up. Money poured in. Then came the feds, the indictments, and a heart attack in Italy that nearly killed him. He lost everything - the shop, the cars, the cash.

So he went back to the garage and started over.

Told through the eyes of his son George "Kook" Jr., Milk Money is the hearttelt story of a blue-collar hustler who built an empire on grit, lost it all, and proved that the only thing harder to kill than a Kook's header is the man who made them.
