Is this the Draggin Duece???

[gearheadmex]

Was talking to a coworker about his LS6 Chevelle he bought new and raced at Oswego and Byron dragways and he sent me some pics. While reviewing the pictures I spotted what I believe to be a Yenko Duece in the staging lanes.
1) Is it a Yenko Duece?
2) Is it the elusive Draggin Duece?

I think its a forest green deuce that said "little deuce coupe" on the front edge of the hood. Bob Schmidt was the owner and it was sold out of Mancuso. Theres a thread way back, somthing about a deuce yanking the tires that shows a few pictures of this car. Maybe someone can post them, please.

Byron dragway huh, I know a lot of old racers that ran there including a guy on a KZ1000, oh what we do when were young

wonder if they might have some old pictures laying around in boxes???

did that kz1000 happen to be maroon with alot of gold plating on it ?

As much as it pains me, I think the kid might be right. Bob came from the Chi town area before he went to Fla. And I have some pics of his Mancuso deuce that looks a lot like that car. Time line would be about right too. And, the draggin deuce was citrus green.
It would be very cool to get Bob to bring that deuce to the reunion sometime. While the Draggin deuce gets a lot of interest, mostly, I think because it hasn't been found. Bob has been campaigning his "LITTLE DEUCE COUPE" for a long time. I guess I'd have to think it was maybe the least discussed original owner car, that has been, and currently is raced. And Bob is a very fine gentleman.

What did it say on the door looks like two words ?? And two words on the fender.

I agree,the Deuce in that above pic isn't the DD.
Here's the Citrus Green DD @ Oswego.

The pics I had were posted here some time ago. I expect someone like Bruce can find them with a search, and post them. One shot has it, wheels up.
