Default Bill Thomas Equipped NICKEY 4th Gen Camaro

Just returned from the Supercar Reunion this weekend in Collinsville, Illinois where I participated with my ’02 ZL1. Saw this 2002 35th Anniversary Camaro there that I thought you folks might appreciate seeing pic’s of.

Either this car or one of the other Nickey 427 turbo Camaros was at Car Craft this summer in St Paul and made over 1000 rwhp.

Nice car. Never heard of it though. Not a fan of the red line tires.

How old are you? That may give us the reason, ...
I'm old enough to know about the ol' original redlines from the mid-late '60's, ...



Now back to the topic at hand, ..., Nice car, ..., Love that motor shot.

It's got twin turbos. The air lid gives a slight hint.

Yes................I had my ZL1 there too. It was a great show again this year.

Drag Racing on Friday (with Dennis Gage from My Classic Car) and the Show on Saturday.


Here is my fiancée with Dennis Gage and my car on the trailer at the Gateway International Speedway. (Yes............I blew a tire on the trailer on the way down )



They asked me again this year to represent Berger Chevrolet at the show.





Here is a couple of other cool pictures that I took at the track.

Kenny Barnhardt in his 1969 ZL1


Frank Radake in his 1968 SS
