Don Yenko Trans Am History

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I don't think 'speed kills' it's the sudden stop that hurts!!

I had a photo of Morgan, Yenko and Revson from their racing effort with the Sunray DX L88 Corvette of '67 - Sebring I think. In '68 I think Yenko and Revson got together to run Daytona in a '68 Vette conv. and I think that was their last race together. At Sebring in '68 I believe it was Yenko and Rodriguez with a DNF due to engine failure with Rodriquez at the wheel. In '69 Yenko paired up with Dave Dooley to run a DX 'vette, running very well at various midwest tracks, but they didn't run Daytona or Sebring. I think '69 was the end of the Sunray DX series, and any association between Yenko and Revson (probably '68). By the end of '67 Revson was moving towards Can Am racing, in which occured his untimely death in '74 at Kyalami.

Not sure if I have all my facts straight, I only got into the DX history to trace what Don Yenko was up to! I also thought that the #29 car at Daytona in '68 was piloted by Thompson/Delorenzo?

Neat stuff.
