Doug “Cookie" Cook ( July 27, 1932 – June 16, 1999 ) was an American drag racer. Cook started in gassers, with a win in C/G at Detroit Dragway in Detroit, Michigan, in 1959. Driving a small-block V8-powered 1937 Chevrolet, he recorded a pass of 13.17 seconds at 105.88 mph (170.40 km/h). He took a win in C/GS at Detroit Dragway in 1960, in a Chevrolet-powered 1941 Willys gasser. He recorded a pass of 12.89 seconds at 119.36 mph (192.09 km/h). Because this was a C/GS class win, this was not, strictly, a repeat win. Cook also drove the Stone-Woods-Cook AA/GS 1966 .
