Sam, i have a few more of the DM car - bugeye sprite in the famous pink and im looking for a few more pics of Tom O'Briens 63 Yenko Vette Race Car, the University of Pittsburg 69 Camaro and a few others of the show.

This event was orgnaized by Mark Gillespie - (im looking for his pic as well). Mark wrote the book &quot;The Yenko Era&quot; and had a few on hand for sale.

Also in attendance was Mark Kickle (sp?) with his 69 HO Yenko Camaro - white stripe car. His car was done more than 10 years ago and it look great!

The event surprised me mostly about the people that came to the show to see specifically the YENKO display - because they were associated with these cars from the past, either lived close by the showroom, owned one at some time in the past hoping to see the car at the show or remembered some of the cars and drivers in the race day. Guys came back the second day with memorbilia, jackets and pics of items they had and people they knew. I even met a 2nd cousin from Freedom PA that owned a blue Yenko Chevelle, bought new in the day and later sold it to Vince Emmy. Having it in Pittsburg was a good thought, considering the proximity of the dealership and home of many Yenko Cars.

Sam, I'll send more pics later tonite.

Rumor has it that Mark Hassett ate the BIGGEST MEATBALL ever at JOE MAMA's Italian Resturant on Forbes Avenue!!!!!

Gotcha Ed. Send the pix on down and I'll get em posted. Did you say &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Joe Mama's</span></span>&quot;?

Never had the pleasure, but it's got to be good with a name like that!

Here is Eddie's long lost cousin Anthony &quot;Tony&quot; Montini. He and Eddie grew up just a couple of streets apart from each other. Tony's LB Yenko Chevelle that he bought brand new in Canonsburg used to be owned by yenko.net's Chad Blomberg and was a November 2004 Supercar Feature a while back.
