Mickey was a good guy and innovator.
And an even better promoter!
Too bad he met an untimely end.
But I'm not sure of the claim that he invented
low aspect tires and ground effects... The Indy "Establishment"
hated him for his innovation.
He went 406 mph at Bonneville in 1960 in a car he designed and built himself!
(Starting with chaulk marks on the garage floor!)
