My wife, who is a really good organizer, decided it was time to go through a ton of photos, National Dragster articles, and anything else that had to do with my racing career. One of the photos that we came across was a May of 1972 photo of my original Yenko leaving the starting line at Quaker City, in Salem, Ohio. This picture shows smoke coming off the slicks, so I would guess it was not a good pass, no rev limiters back then (just your right foot). Looks like a 10.90 on the windshield which was probably the NHRA record, which would have been the dial-in back then. The big 23 on the side glass was probably when I came through the gate.
