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.
ABOUT GEORGE KOOK KRYSSING JR.
George Kook Kryssing Jr. is the owner and operator of Kooks Headers, carrying forward the performance exhaust legacy his father started in a Long Island garage over sixty years ago. A lifelong gearhead who grew up in the shop, George has spent his career building the company into a modern manufacturing operation while honoring the handmade craftsmanship his father was known for. He lives outside Charlotte, North Carolina.
