Nickey is still around--guy bought the name/trademark a few years ago and deals in those era muscle cars--He is doing the new Camaros now and my son Corey is doing all the tuning/dyno work on them( in between engines here)

I never raced down there as I didn't believe that I could get thru the" hole in the wall"
I knew it was a backward K. :-) My radio station of choice was WLS... which still brings back memories like...

"Nickey Nickey Nicky Nickey Nickey Chevrolet....sign of the backward K"

or "Sunday Sunday Sunday... at beautiful US30 dragstrip... drag racing capital of Chicagolaaaand!!!"

Good times! {:-)
