Construction engineer Jim Manning (white shirt, 3rd
from left) is Mike and Mark's grandfather. These guys had some
serious machinery to play with. Photo was taken in Philadelphia,
1919 |
This 1931 Model A was Dad's (Peter Kostic) pride
and joy back in 1948. Photo was taken at the Ford plant in NJ
where Dad worked. Keen eyed viewers will notice the V8 hubcaps,
meaning that this car had the larger wheels, tires, and juice
brakes from a later model B. Unfortunately, the flathead 4-banger
was still under the hood. |
Here's Jamie posing on the back
tire of Uncle Michael's modified in the pits at Delmar. Jamie and
mom Kathy went to a lot of modified races before he started
Quarter Midget racing. Jamie was 3 1/2 when this picture was taken
but already has a custom made driver's suit.

Jamie's first Quarter Midget win as a novice in
1992 at Blackbird. This was Jamie's first race car, an
"experienced" Kurtis FX. After he came off the track, Jamie said
the hardest part of the race was driving the car with one
hand and holding the checker on his victory lap. This photo was
taken by Walt Chernokal. |

The
Kostics have been messing around with machinery and cars for a
long time, as these pictures show. |
