Very cool; anyone else see the Lemans blue 1969 Yenko Chevelle in the video or the C2 Corvette sponsored by Wendy's drive-in? I wonder if that is <span style="text-decoration: underline">the</span> Wendy's of today.

Don't know -- but it looked pretty damn stout! TAZ

That Yenko Chevelle belong to Ed Montini's cousin I believe. Where are Montini and Rick Neslson, when you need them?

Re: Old'en Days Drag Racing
 

Original owner was Dennis ?. Keith Hutson owned it as well as Otis Chandler.

First picture I took of the car when it raced at North Star. Second photo is when Keith brought it to the sYc reunion in 2001.

Fast Eddie is stuffing mana-gott and making gravy for tomorrow's dinner. SS427 is putting out fires and saving some lives! Both good men!

At the 2:55 mark, catch the '67 RS roll up in the nearside lane...then GONE like a gunshot!

Re: Old'en Days Drag Racing
 

Thanks for the memories, .. thats the place I raced my 68 yenko, ys-8016, even held the record there a while. the stickers are still on the back window......

Re: Old'en Days Drag Racing
 

Gotta love the old drags. Here's a couple old 8mm home videos I found with my car drag racing back in the day.

First one includes my car at the 6:15 mark doing a burnout and shows all the old day II wheels near this section of the movie. The second video includes my 69 at the 8:36 mark on a full pass against Gary Wolinski's Tuff-a-Nuff Hemi Cuda which often paired up against Kym when he raced the Z/28 during the 70's.
