I went to Yenko Chevrolet with my Chevelle, now owned by Chris Short, and saw the aluminum blocks lined up in the back room of the facility. I do have a picture of the blocks and Bill Smith, Yenko Horsepower developer, standing in front of them.

My second most favorite picture of that car. My favorite is the one where Nick is leaving the line with air under the front tires. Simply awesome. Of course, this one will be replaced with one showing Shor pulling the front tires off of the pavement at SCR7.

I'll go out into the garage later today and look for the trophys. I also can't remember the name.

Are you talking about Chevy/VetteFest back when it was held there in 1983-84 &amp; then the Fire forced it outside in 1985?
Those were some Cool Days!
