I found some pics of Yo Yo too,
These are a bit later when it ran a 88 x 82 (SPG roller crank)supercharged engine, produced 270 hp and ran on methanol, the gear box was a stock 1500
with a ZF LSD. Ran a best time of 11.21.
Not very good quality, cam from an old magazine article.
The team, Earle Krygger, daughter Kay and wife Pat in racing colours.
Supercharger is chain driven.
The rear end showing the stinger exhaust.

Wow! What a surprise!
Welcome to the forum!
What was the history of your family and YO-YO after you guys were "Quicker than Keegan" in '71?
What is your name? Is Earle still around?
How exciting!
Would love to hear as much about the history and experiences as possible.
I believe Earle held a few records with this car in normally aspirated form,
before going to the blower.

I have a photo (took it myself) of a later version of "Yo Yo " at Surfers. I think it was at the Nationals in 1972 or 73 ,"Yo Yo" by then was a
short rear engine Dragster. I don't have a scanner however I'll try to have the photo scanned and put on this site.

Hi. Yes, while yo yo was still registered with bumper bars and all was entered into D-GAS and broke a National Record.
It ran 11.99 (with carburettors) before it was supercharged.
Then he chopped 3 inches to the body and entered it in Open Gas class.
Finally, Earle took the motor out and sold it, then sold the Body to a spray painters and car repairs place (two bros) in Cheltenham (SE suburb
Melb).
He then went into building a rail (the gear box went into the rail).
Later, he then went onto Hill climbing NSW.
He is now retired with lots of good memories! |

Thanks for the update!
Where do you fit into this story? (nothing in your profile yet)
I know that Earle was your dad, but did you go with him to the races?
How about some photos?!
