69 Yenko Camaro #9323 used as pace car?

[SMK]

Hi. My name is Scott and this is my first thread here although I have been reading the forum for many years. I am a regular contributer over at Camaropacecars.com and I am constantly looking for obscure information on any type or year of Camaro that was used to pace any type of motorsport race. A Google search pointed me here to a thread wondering about a 1970 Yenko Deuce being used to pace some type of race so I thought I would start a thread here asking about a particular 1969 Yenko Camaro that might have been used as a pace car on a road course in Missouri a couple of times back in 1969.

An article in the June 2010 issue of Muscle Car Review written by Bob McClurg and titled "The Gold Standard" talks about an Olympic Gold 1969 Yenko Camaro demonstrator (#9323) that was once used by Melvin "Mel" Bogus when he served as Yenko Sportscar sales manager. Mel was interviewed for the article and in it he states that "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." 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? Here is a link to the article online: http://www.cartechbooks.com/featured...kosc427camaro/ Thanks!
