[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Casey;
The Yenko Deuce Novas were never officially classified to my knowledge. Although several of the Yenko Deuce brochures are footnoted with ' NHRA Classification applied for', several people who tried to race their Deuces were disqualified because the track was never made aware of the factory LT1/Nova combination. One owner repeatedly requested the verification from Don, never received any response, and promptly removed the YENKO decal from the quarterpanel. It this owner had known the the emblems were attached to the car with double sided tape, he said they would have been off too.

The only car that possibly got classified, (in '71?), was the Central Chev. Deuce that the late Doug Olsen uncovered at Charlie Gilchrist's. I have not been able to receive a photo of this car after countless attempts, to determine what class was on the window. BKH has one though, and might be able to see some letters on the window.

Another original owner who currently runs an F/SA '68 Camaro in New Jersey, felt that the Deuce would have been an E-Stock car. I don't know how he surmised that, but he would definitely know better than I!!
