Yenko brand reborn?

[Les Quam]

It should be noted that the sYc net folks who operate this sight have the written permission from the Yenko heirs to use the Yenko name in regard to this site and the registry. I have seen the agreement and as far as I know it is the only time the Yenko family has agreed to allow anyone to use their fathers name. That agreement will supercede any efforts GMCI makes to prevent this site from going forward. Whether or not lawyers are needed to enforce their written permission is another matter. Hopefully that won't be necessary.

[sYc]

All I can say for now, the sYc is doing business as usual, including putting the finishing touches on YS-1001, the first 2010 Yenko/SC Camaro.

The club's next event will be MCACN in Nov., and we are working with Bob and Vicki to make the sYc display area(s) extra special.

The Yenko family has retained a trademark attorney in an effort to retain the rights to their name, and the sYc has done the same, to protect our rights to sYc.

We are hopeful for some sort of out of court settlement, but at this point up to Leonard.

For now, business as usual around here.

At the recent MCACN show I was told that a couple of weeks before SEMA, GMCI/Classic had a meeting with GM, pitching the idea of GM doing a 2010 Yenko Camaro, no doubt the car in the OER booth at SEMA. This would explain why in the last couple of years GMCI/Classic registered so many Yenko and sYc marks. If GM had signed on, no doubt with a licensing agreement from GMCI/Classic, big bucks for someone, unfortunately not the Yenko family.

WOW!!!!! GMCI has some balls to try and trademark the name after the SYC and the Clarys and members are the ones that put the info out there for everyone for years.
I've noticed that this hobby the past few years has unfortunately acquired a BUNCH of dirty players.
I understand supply and demand but to completely undermind someone and do them like GMCI has done the SYC is just WRONG.
Perhaps a big nasty lawsuit isnt such a bad thing as it would send a message to people that like to play these games that the HONEST hobbyists arent screwing around anymore and are tired or doing all the work for years and getting the shaft in the end.
Whats next GMCI introduces the lauch of their Baldwin Motion brand??? I know Joel wouldnt have a problem taking legal action. Maybe the Clarys and the YENKO heirs should consider the same. Unless theres a hidden agenda somewhere that the SYC isnt aware of. Just my opinion

I am sure you must have seen the new (2005) BaldwinMotion with Joel's blessing.

[motionwannabe]

Yes, I seen the concept for that car. I was being sarcastic about Motion.
