The Yenko I mentioned was raced at Etown and driven there with Pro Track 60 series tires.....slapper bars and steep rear gears.....

With slicks and open headers it ran mid 12's.

The engine spun a bearing and a local dealer......Wallace Chevrolet in Linden N.J. would not warrantee it.....The car was less than a year old....

We picked up the car and the engine was piled in the trunk, oil everywhere...

I swapped in a spare 302 Z/28 race engine from a '69 Camaro racecar the Yenko's owner also had

I drove the Yenko for a few weeks everyday,,,,,,,one of the coolest cars I ever had fun driving......and it was fast.....I did not want to give it back !

It was Sold for proabably $3000 or less......!!!
