Thanks Parker. So many more stories to tell. My friend and Crew Chief Jerry Mayo was certainly a big part of the success we had then! I also owe many thanks to Tony Feil, Paul Harris, Ernie Cook, Tony and Anthony of Riverside Performance and Rodney Evans for their help with my 72 Nova which I still race. Thanks to Kevin Mayer for the Showboard you see to my left in the video.

Great interview Parker. Ed is a humble guy. I'm sure he enjoyed talking about racing back in the day as much as we liked listening to him
-
Your respect and admiration for everyone you interview brings out the best in the people, and the information they have to provide. Great job.

I am so glad I happened on to this video. Ed was my employer for a very exciting part of my life. I ran his Kawasaki shop for a while and Ed got me into the technical side of pro drag racing. Through Ed I got to work for the IDBA as a technical inspector. Went racing with Ed and we had a good time while Ed set more records. Thank you Ed. I hope you are well and miss you. May God bless and keep you always in the safety of his hands. A great American.

Thanks Parker...your interviews just keep getting more informative, Ed Hendrick is amazing man....his memory's are truly inspiring.. Really enjoyed the Don Yenko history....

Ed Hedrick seems very humble ! Awesome interview.

Worked at Yenko's back in the 70s as a mechanic. Yes, Ed is right, Don Yenko always treated people good. Even his dad which was Frank Yenko was good people.

I remember the "Grump's Group". They unloaded a semi trailer of Hot Rods, at the NHRA 1971 Springnationals at Dallas.

When Jenkins debuted the first Vega it had the first set of struts on the front that anyone had ever used in Pro Stock. He was at Cecil adjusting the struts and I was watching over his shoulder. He must have felt me behind him and he stopped and slowly turned around and just stared at me......lol..talk about intimidating!

Mad respect on your channel Parker. You really have carved out an awesome unique niche with these videos. The history is important too. Hope to see more on these stories and your Camaro.

I’ve owned 2 Yenko Camao’s, 1 brand new in 1969, the second a few years ago, the second was a real car, but not number matching, it did retain the series 4 12 bolt with the 4:10’s, but the rest was gone, it ended up with a stroked 454, with a Hughes turbo 400, with a big stall, the frame was tied, and the suspension was Hotchkis, the new one I owned was a 4 speed, both nice cars, not on his level obviously. Really enjoyed the video! 👍

I can sit and listen to that history all day long thank you for the video it was a very good one

I worked in a Chevron station back in the late 50's to early 60's. The Bucron tires were very popular with drag racers, but they wore out very quickly for regular driving as the compound was pretty soft.

And yet Another great interview....💯🙂👍🙏🏁
