Yenko 61 Corvette race car (slot car)

[JoeC]

I found this homemade Yenko 61 Corvette slot car on ebay. The seller said as a child his dad used to take him to see the local PA sport car races. At one race they met Don Yenko and Don let him sit in the 61 Corvette race car in the pits. The seller made this slot car from the memory. It's a little rough and beat up from use just like a real race car.

Here you go. 1961 Meadowdale Raceway in Il. Yenko's Corvette is in the center right edge of the picture.
