Quarter Mile Corvettes: 53-75
When the Chevrolet Corvette debuted in 1953, it wasn?t built for quarter-mile racing. With an underpowered Blue Flame 6-cylinder engine and automatic transmission, it seemed mismatched for the growing sport of drag racing. Yet, over time, the Corvette's style and American spirit found a home in the NHRA and beyond.
Racing historian Steve Holmes uncovers the Corvette?s journey in drag racing from 1953 to 1975, a golden era for both the Corvette and the sport. "Quarter-Mile Corvettes" reveals how this iconic car became a legend on the strip, despite never being designed for it.
