Don Yenko Championship Trophy

[markus37]

Ed was my neighbor in McMurray, Pa. He was big in sprint cars ,as an owner...had many big names drive for him.Before his Cobra, he won 2 National Championships in C/Modified ( forerunner to USRRC and CanAm )in a Genie powered by a 289 Ford, which had been raced by folks like Pedro Rodriguez and Dan Gurney earlier. He also drove an early 60's Corvette for Gulf.Very skilled racer , he looked more like an accountant...but had his own business for many years. Ed is who got me into road racing in the area and sent me to Yenko in 1966.
