Local photographer and racing enthusiast Mike Alley will share a brief history and collection of photos from his traveling and shooting professional motorsports at the Cicero Kiwanis Club meeting set for 7:30 a.m. this Saturday, Jan. 12, at the Red Bridge Park Community Building in Cicero.
Alley has spent time behind the lens and in the driver’s seat as a semi-professional and national Kart racer. His passion for racing and photography developed as a teenager and continued throughout his life ultimately bringing his love of both together today.
Alley, who travels with the IMSA circuit, will attend his fifth 24 Hours of Daytona this year. He shoots for the Associated Press, along with covering the Month of May and the Brickyard at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He still covers karting, along with ARCA, the feeder series for NASCAR.
