Default Re: 1960 CORVETTE BIG BRAKE FUELIE EX-SCCA RACER

Thanks for the help out there guys! I feel like I'm getting closer to solving this puzzle, and it may actually have a Don Yenko/Donna Mae Mims link!!! I still can't 100% say that my car is the number 23 car in the Meadowdale picture, my best evidence is the roll bar, windscreen and most of all the damage to the right rear quarter. I have attached a link to a picture of the 23 car being raced in 1963 at the SCCA Cumberland race. It's being chased by the same #77 Porsche as the Meadowdale picture. The owner driver of the #23 car is E.A.(Edwin)Smith of Bethel Park,Pa. Bethel Park is 12 miles from Cannonsburg,Pa., home of Yenko Chevrolet. I have noticed in my race research that every race I found that E.A.Smith drove in, Don Yenko drove in also. Is it possible that they were race buddies or even partners? Is it possible that the Corvette was purchased from Yenko Chevrolet. Can anyone out there put me in contact with Mr. Smith or his family? any help is appreciated. Tom Purdy 419-234-2628
