2017 Racing Season is Over
I realize this thread started out as looking for my original 1969 Yenko, VIN 124379N663539, and I assume no one has found it or I would hope they would have updated this thread with its whereabouts. With that being said and since my 2017 racing season has ended as of October, and I have some time on my hands I thought I would do an update on the 1970 Baldwin Motion Camaro clone that I race as a B/SA, in NHRA Stock Eliminator. As you can see in the pictures, the car leaves the starting line very well, with a best of a 1.28 sixty foot time, which is really excellent for an almost 3600 lb all steel car on 9 inch slicks with a 402 cid engine rated at 375 HP (NHRA rated at 400 HP).
I would like to give credit where credit is due, Davey Summa, of Summa Performance in Enon Valley, Pennsylvania did the roll cage and chassis work and deserves to be acknowledged for his fine effort. If you would like to see what it feels like to go for a ride in this car, I have uploaded a video on You Tube, go in the search bar once you get on You Tube and type in; "2017 Maple Grove Raceway", look for a file that is 2 and a half minutes, it starts out doing the burnout and takes you all the way to the scales after the run is completed. Make sure you make it "Full Screen" in the lower right hand corner and watch for the WIN light on the wall, just past the finish line. Hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Here are a few still pictures.
