I've been an admirer of Mickey for what I think of as a long time- since about 1959. But I was recently reading Hot Rod Magazine coverage of the 1953 Bonneville Nationals, where he set a record in Competition Coupe class- two-way average of about 195 MPH, with a pair of unblown flatheads on ~25% nitro. But what grabbed my attention was the fact that he was referred to as an "old timer" at racing- in 1953!!!
