Cages are for Monkeys, Kevin Olsen
 

All I can say is wow what a book, if you like reading about racing and the things that go on with drivers, family and crew this book is a must. www.coastal181.com with Lew Boyd have put together a great book about my friend Kevin Olsen and his days behind the wheel and behind some of the good, bad and in between times of racing.

Get your copy before they are gone by contacting Kevin at KOrace95@aol.com this is one of the best books I have read in a long time, $24.95 plus shipping and you can add this gem to your library. I think he has a full warranty on the book for a small very small fee

Is he serious in this book or is it all a goof like his SC&M columns?

Re: Cages are for Monkeys, Kevin Olsen
 

This stuff is real!

The postman just delivered my book this morning and I can't wait to finish reading it.

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!

Buy the book you will not be disapointed this is the stories we all want to hear about, one of the best midget drivers in the world.

Really I would not endorse this book if it wasnt so good.

Thank you all in advance for supporting K.O.

Thanks Jerry!

Re: Cages are for Monkeys, Kevin Olsen
 

Besides some great stories there is some awsome older picctures. The everyday life of some of the best race drivers and a jokster that I am proud to call my friend.

Nobody has sat in Josh's office (#66j) but he has told KO to show up early sometime at Kokomo and he can hotlap the 66j for ole times sake, I for one hope KO takes him up on sitting in the seat for a couple laps.

In all honesty I can tell you this will make a great gift or just a perfect addition to your racing library.

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 ;)

Re: Cages are for Monkeys, Kevin Olsen
 

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!

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)

Re: Cages are for Monkeys, Kevin Olsen
 

Just finished reading it and enjoyed every story !

Great book. Get yours today.
Best Regards,

Was at Ventura last night and Kevin Olsen was there selling his book. Stopped by to pick up an autographed copy and he informed me that each book was numbered. Then he asked me what number I wanted and wrote 7 in the front of book and circled it!! Then he autographed it. He also had on a trench coat and opened one side and had lots of watches and asked if I wanted to buy a watch. Then he opened the other side and had jewelry from the Monica Lewinski collection and wanted to know if I wanted to buy some pearls! What a character!!! Looking forward to reading this book. It should be a hoot!!

A truly awesome book from one the best racers of our time. He is so modest but has accomplished so much in his racing career. You will be amazed by all of the stories in this book. Once you pick it up it is hard to put it down. KO is a throwback who is a one of a kind character who tells all (well almost all) in his book. I think you will love it. I know I did!
