Why race your supercar

[sYc]

As per taking risks, I guess I should not mention that my youngest son took the Yenko Camaro to his high school prom the last two years. Talk about stepping back in time, two teenagers, all decked out, arriving at the prom in a 1969 Camaro. Needless to say, he was the envy of his friends. Rumor has it he "showed out" a little. Must have got that from his mother. Right Rob [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Besides the thrill of driving/racing, the exposure/attention we have received has been kind of neat. In the 6+ years we have owned the Camaro, here is some of the coverage it has recieved. 2 page pic in SC of it racing Mark Kickle's hugger ornage Yenko at SCR1, cover of Muscle car Review doing a burnout at Pure Stock Drags, (set sales records), pic in SC doing a burnout at the FBody Gathering, pictured several times in MCR participating at the Pure Stock Drags, part of a feature on COPOs on Speed Vision, part of segment on SCR on My Classic Car, pictured on newest JL diecast, scheduled to appear Yenko poster/drawing. I am sure there are others, but these are the ones that come to mind. And the reason? Certaintly not because it is the nicest or most correct one out there, far from it, but because we are not afraid to drive it. And hopefuly, once finished, our Nova and Chevelle will receive the same. I realize some owners do not enjoy this kind of attention, but we kind of dig it. And, I think is has helped educate the public as per what these cars were/are about.

Thats what makes this forum the "best". Everyone is passionate in their beliefs but most people here understand how the other guy feels! And the combination of these passions will keep this hobby strong! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I think the overall opinion, "racing at the track" about scares everyone. What was the first thing your mom said to you when you went to race a car at the track? You are doing WHAT? YOU'LL KILL YOURSELF. So you sneak off to race on the street instead.

For those of you that show your cars, please had over your motors. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Your car will look just as good with out one as with one. I'd love to drive a big block, doesn't even have to be in a COPO car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks Reynolds! I thought I had a chance with T.Bill - but then you joined ranks [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I see both sides, but isn't just a whole lot more fun to race 'em? I think those guys who have hung up their racing should share their tips and secrets with the rest of us! I don't care what people think of me for drivin/runnin my car, it's downright fun!
