'Vintage Motorsport' Sept/Oct 2006

[Stefano]

There is a very cool and well written, nine page, Nickey Chevrolet racing article, in the current issue of 'Vintage Motorsport' Sept/Oct 2006,by Tom Stephani.

The article includes many pictures from Tom's private archives.

This is a must read for any Nickey enthusiast.

It is a very good article. The article lays out the time line on when things tooks place regarding the installation of the 427. Very cool to read about the team ownership, sponsorship and how they became a big time player in the muscle car era.

Can you say two purple Vettes?

It looks like Nickey had the same problem as Mr Norm in the 70s when the city of Chicago changed and got bad.

Very interesting story. Your right, a must read for Nickey fans.

Cool.. I have always enjoyed my visits with Tom, a wealth of information. And really dig his Nickey road race car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Might have to borrow your copy of the magazine, as "Vintage Motorsport" will be hard to come by in our neck of the woods. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

Check the rack at the local book stores. We'll have a copy on the web site soon.

Well, now that you mention it; I came home last week and found a wooden casket on my front porch. At first I thought Tom Clary had sent me a new sYc/ Supercar Registry decal, but when I opened it I found a Tree!
Now I'm no arborist by any means, but this is a totally new species to me. Anyone ever hear of a "Chrondek"?
I'm assuming it's decidous (there are no leaves or needles), however, I DO think it was harvested in the fall due to the mostly amber coloration. It's actually showing ALL stages of coloration at present, from AMBER through BRIGHT RED, with just a small amount of GREEN!
Mighty strange looking thing. We're thinking of putting it in the Dining room around the middle of December. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Could the refrigerator be far behind? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
