Photos from York '07
 
I was at the show all afternoon Sat. and took a bunch of photos, as promised. I made a big mistake though. I was afraid I might fill up the camera memory, so I set the resolution a notch lower than normal, and the result is that the cars are not as sharp as they should. Definitely not up to Bruce's standards... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

So, here goes. As soon as I parked I noticed this very neat Camaro next to me.

Walked around the outside show a little and took a few more

Fell in love with this '62 Bonny. Seemed to be mostly original with just the right patina inside

Not a musclecar, but this IMpala just caught my eye.

That old Gasser look. I don't think it was really a race car though.
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...MG_0978.tn.jpg
OK, now on to inside! This car must have been a handfull!!!

Allen George owns this original Altered from back in the day with a Buick straight 8. The chassis from this car was actually stolen a couple years ago, then couple buddies noticed it at a local swap meet, and they got it back!

The original vinyl roof is perfect and will likely stay there!

+++ Verne +++ Fantastic shots, and coverage, really enjoyed it all, can't wait to see alot of the cars, and folk's in person. Of course I don't expect people will be waiting in line for me , or my Vair to see... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif..

Re: Photos from York '07
 
Thanks Ken,
That reunion is very special. It's almost surrealistic. For anyone who has old time drag racing in their blood it is truly a trip back in time. So many "real" old cars and the original personalities as well, up close and personal. They're all willing to talk to anyone and tell stories of racing days. And I hate to say it, but those from that era are not getting any younger. Every year we keep losing more of them. It's uncomfortable to talk about, but I think most people realize that these opportunities to enjoy time with and learn from these old heroes are disappearing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Darren, Do you look at the cars that closely????

Well, I can tell you that when she turned around, there was nothing left to the imagination, if you know what I mean..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Or it could have just been the seams, which were stretched to the limit in this case https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif I really don't think there was anything under those pants except a LOT of flesh. I tried to find a good taillight shot for you, BUTT, this was the best I could do..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

Great coverage Verne...unbelievable stuff!.

Each their own as beauty is always in the eye of the beholder...so;
On Steve's Dana, the more I see of it the more my vote's still for leaving it unrestored! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif.

On the Butt shot, your example looks to have the heat-treated parts for sure but I thought you'd been blocked trying to get a shot of the pumpkin on that '62.https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif.
Hey, some guys love Fords too?.

Yep, I was all focused in on that steel rear and suddenly...I got thooonged!!!

Glad you liked the coverage. I admit to a little extra Z-11 coverage. Personal bias. Can't help it... I know Roger personally and was at his place when Terry Prince was there to deliver ALL the stuff that goes with that car!

As usual, I had a great time at York. Thanks to BKH for handling things on that end.

We had several regulars attending, which always makes for a fun event, but adding spice to the mix were a couple of newbies with their cool cars.., Joe with the Soul Survivor Camaro and Tom with his L-89 Camaro.

Thanks to Ed Hedrick for accepting the the Legion of Honor award for the late Don Yenko. A very special moment for all of us Yenko fanatics.

Congrats to the SCW gang for a 1-2-3 finish in the award department.

And of course thanks to Darwin Doll and his staff for another great event.

This was posted on another site. It has video of the reunion show as well as the drags. It even shows the F.A.S.T. racing (at least first round). 16 different chapers. Right click to get the full screen.
