Default Re: Pittsburgh International Dragway Reunion

It's no secret Sam, the pics were all on display at a local pub and eatery called Peter's Place in Bridgeville, PA last evening at the annual PID reunion and hall of fame induction ceremony. It was a privately organized event but was open to the general public for a meager $1 donation as the admission price. The pictures were all part of one individual's personal collection, who was gracious enough to put them on display for us all to enjoy. There were trophys, programs, class winner decals, and all sorts of PID memorabilia on display. I thought enough to bring along my digital camera to share some of it with you all here. I was expecting to see some Yenko cars in some of the shots and I did find the 2 sYc Camaros.

...and I may be young, but I do vaguely remember the Simon & Simon show. Mostly the red '82 Z/28 they'd run around in. I remember building the model kit, and that it had really cool soft squishy Eagle GT tires that looked like the car actually had some weight to it when it sat on them. Anyone have an unbuilt version of that kit laying around?

Sam, this was an indoor version of the vargo show! Lots of memorabilia too, way to go sYc-Kid

Don't forget this famous pic of Ed's car at Indy, posed at Nankivell Chev. From your conversation with Ed, sounds like this pic is from '69.

Just thought of something else...no trim on the quarter gills of this car. Ed's car was an X66 and had the trim pieces. Can't think of any good reason why they'd have been removed if this is indeed the car. I'm leaning towards it being a completely different DY Yenko.
