OK, that explains it...you're young. Please accept my apology for seeming to be a little rough on you. I don't know what Mickey got his start with, but he was very prominent with racing Pontiacs in the late 50's and early 60's. He's set many records with them and his Challenger II clocking 406-MPH at Bonneville stood for a long long time before anyone topped it. Google him and search the 'net, there is so much info out there to learn about him. He was a pioneer in the automotive community, right up to the day he was murdered.
