[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I have been researching that angle of the Deuce history for several years, no concrete answer yet but several theories. I know that Don visited Josh Darden at Colonial and suggested that they put a Deuce on the local track to promote the sale of their remaining Deuces. They did exactly that, and could not get classified and had to run in MP class! I talked to the guy who actually ran the Deuce, and he remembers the whole situation quite well. He said that they never tried to run the car as an official entry in the Stock classes, it was soley for advertising. He added plenty more details, but suffice to say it was an interesting deal! Yenko supplied a specific request to the NHRA regarding the Colonial situation, stating that they 'are forced to MP, so when will the Deuce be classified'. So, the Colonial effort may have been twisted a little by Yenko (imagine that!) to pressure the NHRA into classifying the Deuce. In other documents, Yenko clearly bent the truth by stating that he had sold over 500 Deuces, interesting! I think the NHRA had caught on by then, and were just ignoring Don.

The AHRA sanctioned the Deuce, but it is unclear that the class was consistent. In the Gilchrist photos it clearly shows E3A as the class, this correlates to Formula Stock, E category (8.50-8.99 lbs/CI) with 2 barrel carb and an a/t. This of course does not fit with the LT1 engine in the Deuce which obviously has a 4 barrel carb. However, that may have been the classification for that day - at that track. The NAAR also sanctioned the Deuce, and also put it in E/Stock.
