Re: race car pics from the early 70's
Jeff,
Was that Dan Mamsen's Yenko in the pictures at the Arlington show? When I saw your dad's pictures at the recent ChevyVette Fest there was a vintage picture of an orange '69 Yenko with your dad's Yenko. He said it was Mamsen's Camaro. I thought it was my car that was owned by Mark Janowiak in Carpentersville in the mid '70's. Your dad remembered Mark's Yenko and said it had been to his garage many times. Great pictures! Thanks for posting. Mark

Re: race car pics from the early 70's
Jeff,
Its great you dad saved everything including the pictures! Both orange Yenkos (Dan's and Mark's) came from the same collector in Janesville, WI. He had 70+ cars back in the '70s. Dan's was the yenko that Bill Hunter bought new and blew the motor the first day he owned it. He traded it in the next day for the yellow Yenko Camaro he still owns today. Any pics of Mark's Yenko Camaro from back then? Thanks again, Mark

Re: race car pics from the early 70's
here is John Cunats 57. this thing was cool !!! small block 4 speed car.....Ron Leek named him the "madman" he wound this car up to about 7500 rpm and sidestepped the clutch...i think we have more super 8 than pictures of this car.......
     my dad told me story once about this car. they were warming it up to go racing and it just didnt sound right. after about 4 7000 plus rips of the throttle, they heard a noise and my dad looked down at his feet and there was the oil filter spiining like a top......yep threw a rod....imagine standing over the front tires and this thing lets go...WOW.... ]

Re: race car pics from the early 70's
here are a couple for kwhizz....and not because its named Prosti II tion...i know its not your color but it is yellow AND a Nova.....wait, your a "numbers guy" now so you wont like them......
 his name is Ken Kapcoe...must be something with the name Ken...       this car has very little suspension travel....on the super 8 films, when this car dumped the clutch, it bogged real bad....too much tire....not enough motor!!!!
