Just an update, on the continuing research for Psycho Too; The N.I.C.B has confirmed that the Chevy II was indeed sold new at Nickey Chevrolet, in 1963.

We are still looking for vintage race photos or film of this car in action, as well as any other helpful info.

I knew that Stefano was going to get some Psycho Pic's and I just about fell over when I seen that one ......Peel away the Years........Too bad that Joe and Danny are no longer with us ......Looks like Ralph (one of the owners) getting into the passenger side of my car........

Another Interesting thing about Drag Racing Now and Then......is that the stands were full every weekend then.....Shake Rattle and Run is just before Psycho in the video.....Pretty Cool....

Maybe it's just me but, I think the reason the stands were full back then was because the cars were actually cars and not some fiberglass replicas; plus more cars had manual transmissions where the drivers had to &quot;drive&quot; the cars.

To this day I enjoy watching the stock, super stock and competition eliminator classes much more than the top tier classes. I prefer to watch cars that are closer to stock bodied vehicles that I can relate to; something that I could actually aspire to driving. Of course I'd also get rid of the delay boxes and all the electrical crap too.
