Guess what?
I was just watching Dream Car Garage, and they did a piece on the Pitt race car. It was blue and white, not blue and yellow, as I remembered. As Rick says, it is fully restored and is somewhere around Lime Rock. I missed the beginning of the piece, so I'm not sure of the details. It was somehow associated with Penske. I think Penske helped the driver, who was a student in 69 and 70, obtain and set up the car.
Cool.....I can't wait for the repeat.

I have in my Yenko notes that the Pitt U racing team ran a car in the 1977 24hr Daytona race. drivers were Bob Fryer, Ed Lowther, and Don Yenko

Dream Car mentioned that it had raced at the 24 hours of LeMans, but I did not know Don had raced it!!

Anyone know who owns it now, and how to get in touch with him? I'd love to talk to him.
