Default Re: Yenko ever have a pace car ?

The article in the June 2010 issue of Muscle Car Review written by Bob McClurg and titled &quot;The Gold Standard&quot; talks about an Olympic Gold 1969 Yenko Camaro demonstrator (#9323) that was once used by Melvin &quot;Mel&quot; Bogus when he served as Yenko Sportscar sales manager. Mel was interviewed for the article and in it he states that &quot;I drove 9323 to the races, particularly at Mid America Raceways, in Wentzville, Missouri, where the Yenko was used as a pace car on several occasions.&quot; I have been looking for images from 1969 to back up this quote since the article came out and have had no luck. Does anyone have any more info or a possible photograph of the Yenko Camaro pacing a race at the Mid America Raceways road course? Thanks
