Rick;
The DRAGGIN DEUCE was obviously purchased from Fencl Tufo, and the pic was taken in '72-'74 at Oswego Dragway (?), affectionately known as the 'gravel bowl'. We believe the car to be a 4speed without power steering. This car helped us prove that Citrus Green was the only color of Deuces to have come with both colors of stripes - so far. We are still researching Cran Red with white stripes, and Forest Green with black.

Marlin & Rick,

There is an Oswego, New York. About 40 minutes north of Syracuse, NY. I don't know if they ever had a drag strip though? I believe there is a circle track in Oswego (dirt).

It wasn't New York, another deuce owner took that picture when he was around 15 years old. He ended buying a forest green deuce several years later from a friend. The gravel bowl was south or southwest of Aurora, IL
