I have 2 at the house. He was selling them at the 40th Yenko Stinger reunion last summer. I believe I have his number at home, and can post info this evening.

They were $50.00

I am only home for a few minutes and can't put my finger on it, but I remember that Amazon was going to carry the book for him. Also, if you email Charlie Doerge, I know he can put you into contact with Mark. His email is:

It's a pretty good book that reads more like a scrap book...Lots of cool pics of documents and receipts from Yenko and other vendors he used to build the sYc cars..Also some cool track pics from SCCA and other road courses...I think you need to play detective to pull what info your looking for from the items given in the book....Not very cut and dried....Kind of like other things from Yenko..

Does this book focus primarily on the yenko stinger and the SCCA racing or does it go into depth about the 427 Cars, and how they were put together, ect...??? I am also interested in obtaining a copy of the book.

I think Steve put it well. It really is a scrap book.

Yes, there is quite a bit of Stinger stuff in the book but more on the 427. Mark put a lot of this and that in it. Quite a bit of order forms and sourcing of the time.
It is worth the $50.00.

It was nice that Mark had it ready for the 40th last summer and getting him, Donna Mae, Warren, Tony D. and all of the surviving Yenko crew to sign it.
