hall of Fame: MIke Pinkston

INDUCTED JANUARY 23RD, 2021

Mike has been a part of Coles County Dragway USA for many years that started a Racer/Tuner and became known as a perfectionist with his Starting Line Prep along with being a respected worker!

Mike is a man who has been lucky enough to have had 5 decade connection to the famed 1/8th mile.  From racing cars during the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s, as well as part of the track prep gang for the next two decades and close to 15 years as Chief Starter, this man has a broad connection to CCD.  He has also been very instrumental in the development and building of power plants and drive line components, chassis fabrication, and some of the most beautiful paint and body work ever raced here.  Mike has long been known for his attention to detail and overall well rounded knowledge that is likely unmatched by anyone you will ever meet. On top of that, he is most likely one of the nicest persons you will ever meet

Our next Inductee, Mr. Mike Pinkston.
