At Hall street in the early 60's a guy pulled up in a mid 50's station wagon. we waved him thru. He said no, he wanted to race. He was against a 300 hp 63 chevy and blew him away. We learned later it was Lyle (Ray?) in his tow car

I was staged right behind Bob Murrey when he ran 204. I was told it was the first 200 MPH run at Alton. It was a clean run and I believed it. Some claimed gibberish about the sensors not picking up his front wheels and such. Bull! I saw it and he did it. 1964
