1957-Super-Gas-Corvette

Wallpaper Description:

The popularity of flip-top 1957 Corvette Super Gas cars is a certainty, and one of the nicest ones anywhere is the Don Davis-built machine raced by the husband and wife team of Don and Cynthia Lang (Northridge, California). After purchasing the car as a rolling chassis from reputed builder Jerry Colton, the Lang’s car has emerged both as a competitive car and show-stopping final product. The team, which focuses most of its event attention within NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Division 7, uses a 582ci engine expertly constructed by Sunset Racecraft. That engine program is bolted to a Hughes Performance torque converter and Powerglide transmission to consistently chase their 9.90 class index. This Corvette design offers up a number of advantages for Don and his team, not the least of which is improved visibility for the driver and ease of maintenance between rounds. While on the circuit, Lang benefits from the help of his dedicated crew of friends Devon Hilton, Dave Drew, Dave Gotts, and Kevin Kleineweber.
