'68 Yenko, Transplant vs. COPO

[JoeC]

The Yenko name must have been pretty well known in Florida in 1968. If my records are correct,Yenko racing had a big year in Florida in 1967 winning 1st in GT at the 12 Hours of Sebring race in a 1967 L88 Corvette then Jerry Thompson won the SCCA D-Production national championship in the Yenko Stinger at Daytona on Nov. 26, 1967. Yenko raced the 1968 DX Oil L88 Corvette at Daytona and Sebring in early 68 and had been racing at Daytona and Sebring since the early sixties. Maybe "Win on Sunday Sell on Monday" worked well for Yenko in Florida in 68.
