White Hall Drag-o-way Reunion

[ORIGLS6]

Part of the fun is listening to the old stories..... (no pun intended Mike). Here is Mike Story (son of John Story who built and operated Alton Dragway) chatting with Mark Johnson while Bob Fink, the Voice of midwest drag racing, listens. Mike was telling about a phone call he took when he was 16 years old. The person on the other end asked to speak to John Story. When Mike asked who was calling the reply was "This is Mickey Thompson". Mike smiled and said "Can you imagine how I felt? A 16 year old kid talking to Mickey Thompson. My Dad actually knew Mickey Thompson."



Bob Fink was the track announcer for many of the midwest tracks at one time or another. Bob not only has a great voice; he knows cars and he knows the drivers. And Mark has tons of old photos and memorabilia from Alton Dragway. These guys were cool to talk with.
