Re: vettefest
Don was definitely a Corvette guy. There are many pictures of him with Corvettes from 1953 and up. He was a founding member of the local Corvette club and was very active. He often wrote articles and printed pictures from the races in the club newsletter. It was a family affair as Frank and Martha (parents) Hope (wife) and the kids went to the local races. Frank Yenko was also active in the club and SCCA and was a well known local race official. One of Don's first race wins was a SCCA sectioned drag race in 1956 in a Corvette - ran 16 sec flat. A Jag was second fastest.
