 Yenko on the old, fast, Laguna Seca straight - before the 2-3-4-5 turns

   According to the tachometer and calculations, I did 137 mph approaching 
the first turn at Indianapolis Raceway Park in a National race in 1978-D/P 
Stinger YS160.
   My YS 015 Stinger in turbo trim was much faster than YS 160  in the 
straights at 15 psi--no official results- about the same as YS 160 at 8 
psi--practice boost. I ran 8 psi 99% of the time. 
   The Bill Thomas/ Doug Roe car has the  Stinger turbo engine in it now.
