How about a picture of KO and Mahamid Ali toe to toe? (Spl) This book really has something for us all

Lew is a good guy with great reads. Glad you're reaching out to my neck of the woods in New England

Kevin is the Emcee for the Racers Reunion Banquet I put on each fall here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. We never know what he is going to pull off. This year he told the crowd he lost his suitcase so I told him him to pick something to wear from my closet. The King!

He is so much fun to be around!

Looks like I'm doing all my shopping at Coastal181 this year. Racers or not they are getting a copy of this book.

Kudo to Lew for taking on such a project!

OK I have to admit the Ali chapter is quite funny. Strange but true!

Almost finished.... you were right, entertaining book, thanks!
Couldn't help wondering about all the drinking stories... seems like Kevin is almost some kind of masochist...race, break back, drink, hangovers, long trek to next race, more injuries, more drinking, more hangovers, etc, etc.
Nowadays people crucify Tyler Walker for his dumb stunts but Kevin seemed to get away with everything. I guess it pays to be a fun loving, good natured drunk rather than a temperamental speed freak (the drug, not the racing...I guess they call 'em "tweakers" nowadays)
