[sYc]

The Yenko family is well aware of what is going on in regards to the Yenko name. For the past several years they have come to rely on me to keep them updated on what is going on in the world in regards to Yenko. I exchange emails with them on a regular basis, and on occasion, visit with them by telephone. Recently our visits have been on a more personal note, the passing of Donna Mae Mims.

When the sYc first considered doing a new Camaro, which was 2-3 years ago, when it became apparent GM was going to release a new Camaro, they were the first to hear of the project, the first to voice their opinions. Had they not approved of the project, we would not be having this discussion.

The oldest daughter Lynn has really taken an interest in the project, to the point of expressing an interest in owing one. Lynn is not stranger to high performance cars, as she spent her teenage years working at the dealership, even applying stripes to a few cars. If that were not cool enough, she often times went to the races with her dad. Lynn has attended a couple of SCRs as well as Chevy Vettefest. If she can work it into her busy schedule, she will make a guest appearance in the sYc display area at the upcoming MCACN show.

I have stated on many occasions that I feel the Yenko family is entitled to compensation for the use of the Yenko name, which the family is well aware of. This includes any new Camaro project. For the past 12 years I feel the sYc has treated the Yenko family fairly in regards to the use of the Yenko name, and will continue to do so in the future.

Regarding any legal actions, IMO it would better serve all interested parties to work together, but that is up to GMCI and their representatives. Though they do have the Yenko name well registered, thus have some legal rights, I feel the Yenko family has legal rights as well, and as along as the sYc has the Yenko family's support, we will continue doing business as usual.

For those who might be interested in having a 2010 Camaro built in the style of Yenko cars of the past, as I am having done, we can legally do it.
