Pittsburgh International Dragway Reunion
I attended tonite's annual Pittsburgh International Dragway Reunion and Hall of Fame induction ceremony. It's a get together put on every year by some of the most die hard, old time car guys in western PA, who pay tribute each year to the now defunct PID by hosting a meeting of one and all who have ties to the old track. There was a cool photo collection on display, and I tried my best to take decent pics in the poorly lit banquet room. They aren't the best quality but I think you'll still appreciate some of them.

Re: Pittsburgh International Dragway Reunion
I know this is an old post, but there were questions about this Yenko. This car was purchased by Chuck Troop from Yenko Chevrolet in the spring of 1969. Chuck drove it for a short while, then got the drag racing bug. Chuck started out racing the car in the stock class, but decided to take it off the street to go full time racing. Chuck ran the car at Pittsburgh International Dragway most of the time. Car also ran at Quaker City, Keystone Raceway, Eldoro Dragway. Best time was at Quaker City on a Friday night it ran a 10.38 et can't remember the speed. Yenko S/C was painted over because the track announcer at Eldoro said it was Don Yenkos personal car, when we got home the paint came out. Don would not even give us more than a garage discout on parts, Chuck said the hell with that. My Dads Sunoco station was one of the sponsers, I helped some on the car.
