Texi - Skids On Sunday - Teh Aftermath!

[GoldZilla]

I had a fantastic day as always! I accomplished my target for today... to destroy at least one of my evil, evil skid rims' tyres. A de-laminated tyre later and I felt my day was complete!

Big thanks go out to the volunteers, the Comaros / Trans-AM and those people who didn't just come from down the road

I hope more photos of my car made it through processing

'Bout time you finally shredded those tyres, Cass - good work!!!

Does that rule me out from the "thanks" because I drove around 15 minutes to get there???

I also hope more of the photos of my car make it through processing so I can rub it in to all the other Sydney-based Stagea owners how much fun I had, and how they missed out! Duncan is let off because he kindly gave up his spot with the higher than expected numbers so others could get a go, and he would have killed me anyway. Still, it would have been great to see photos and vids of two Stageas battling it out!

Wow, an epic day! was so great to take my new 32 for a spin.

Rain saved my tyres a bit, will know for next time to bring skid tyres

Thanks to you guys for organising, will definitely be looking out for the next one :-)

** just on a side note, i would have preferred to have kept the first battle course running a little longer. I was only just getting familiar with it when it changed. (and it meant i kinda lost the decider third battle with my BF )

As the resident Yankee I have to say that it truely made my day to see that Yenko Camaro. The last time I saw one in person was 20 years ago in Seattle. No wonder since they only made a few hundred of them.

For those that don't know about them:

1969

For 1969, the dealership worked with Chevrolet to have the L-72 engines installed on the factory assembly line using a Central Office Production Order, or COPO. The orders included power disc brakes, a 4.10 Positraction rear end, a stronger front stabilizer, and a heavy-duty 4-core aluminum radiator. Buyers of the car had the option of either the M-21 four speed or the Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission. A total of 201 cars were sold in 1969, 171 with four speed transmissions and 30 with automatic transmissions. Yenko rounded out the visual package with front and rear spoilers, a cowl-induction hood, special "Yenko 427" badges, twin stripes down the flanks and hood, and the sYc (Yenko Super Car) badge. According to the Camaro Research Group, standard black interior (code 711) was the only interior ordered by Yenko. However, many Yenko tribute cars have a white interior.

Almost 40 years later, these Camaros have been appraised and sold for well over $2.2 million USD at Barrett-Jackson auctions. As of sep 2008, there are 2 known automatic transmission 1969 Yenko Camaro's. as stated by ESPN auction show.

As of Jan 17th 2009, a REAL ZL-1 Copo, dark green, re-bodied, went for $290,000 at the Barret Jackson Auto Auction Lot 12773. Mr. October Reggie Jackson was bidding on this car but didn't win it. Another yellow, original body, non original heads with Auto transmission for $270,000. Both are said to be a steal and the deals of the show.

1969 Continuation Series

Recently a company out of North Carolina called Classic Automotive Restoration Specialists[2] has restarted production of the '69 Yenko Camaro. Don Yenko sold 201 of his infamous COPO-program Camaros out of his Canonsburg,PA dealership. As reported in the March '08 issue of Muscle Car Review the vehicle is a fully licensed and certified Yenko starting at #202. The 427 engine under the hood was built by GM who has brought back the big block engines from the muscle car era. The rest of the components took 2 1/2 years to track down the original machinery. Options offered on the vehicle are the same as was available back in 1969 including paint colors. The car costs around 60% less than some of the current 39-year old Yenko Camaro survivors but drives like an old car would have when it was new off the Canonsburg, PA dealership.

Should have one or two, ive got a stack of other photos to go through but those in the link were the ones that looked ok with no editing etc on first look.

I will be having another look tonight and doing some edits + posting more when they are ready.

They are downloadable too, if you click the photo on flickr and then click "all sizes" you can download a large version of it.
