I was excited to see this car at the National Corvette Museum. It was an early effort, and very successful, by Don Yenko’s Chevy garage in Cannonsburg, PA. The town is about an hour south of Pittsburgh and the old airport there was an SCCA track. I was able to work with my friend’s father and their team for one afternoon of tire testing on a Lola T-170 in about 1969. This was also where I had my first ride in a BMW 2002 at speed. But I went several times to the Yenko dealership cause he always had cool cars. He was better known, when I was hanging around, for his Camero and Corvair “Yenko Stingers” that were winning races across the country. Brought back some neat memories.
