At the start of this thread (before I completely derailed it) the OP posted a Gold Yenko track picture, here again as lower pic below.
Above it is another pic that must be the same car but appears to be from earlier in the car's life also @ the same track.
Being Oly Gold/White stripes, both pics must be the Yenko Prototype Magazine Test car Ed Hedrick pulled the 11.94 with.
Note the Atlas rims still on the car in the earlier shot before later pic w/ rim/tire changes and ass jacked + more decals added, same Christmas Tree in the background too also hills/trees/telephone pole etc.
Is this track York US 30 also if so, could the earlier pic be from the SS&DI Magazine Test day w/ Ed Hedrick @ the wheel?

Pretty sure that's PID as that's where the guy I knew used to race who had the Yenko Camaro motor in his Chevelle before being swapped out.

Another great pic Joe and thanks for posting it also that other cool shot back on Pg.2.
Thanks for the help w/ track info too fellas and comparing pics, PID appears to be exactly correct.
If PID is where Mark's friend used to run his Chevelle also depending on when car purchased etc, it may be his pal Ronnie w/ the Yenko in the pics?
Here's another original pic of the OG Yenko, anyone have any more?

Awesome stuff Joe and thanks for posting, what great pics from that day at the track also cool Hedrick's car is in the one shot.
Below are a few expanded views of the magazine pics also that great wheels up shot Joe posted back on Pg.2 again too.

Those pictures are at Keystone Raceway. A few months back I was going through Bill Thurby pics I found online. He must have been the track photographer from the 60’s till looks May 80s or 90s. I was looking for pictures of my car there and came across the Gold Yenko pictures. I have two that Pete doesn’t have, but I can’t post them.
