Don Davis Race Cars now provides service and repair to all brands.
Over the past winter, DDRC had the privilege of working on a ’62 Chevy Nova owned by our customer-turned-friend, Gene Brown. After the fall race at zMAX Dragway, Gene reached out to us feeling discouraged and disappointed by the problems plaguing his car, which included:
• Inconsistency
• Slow reactions
• Instability
Determined to turn things around, we devised a comprehensive course of action and worked on the car throughout the winter. Our team meticulously addressed various issues, focusing on the front end, rear end, and everything in between. We replaced wheels and tires, struts, brakes, 4-links, rod ends, services the rear shocks, and performed exhaust repairs—essentially giving the car a thorough 20-year tune-up.
Once the work was completed, Gene picked up the car and headed to his first race of the season. He was ecstatic with the car's performance. He said, “It has never been better!”. It felt like a brand-new car, and better than it had ever been reigniting the fun and excitement of racing for him.
Gene’s success story didn’t stop there. In just his fourth outing with the revamped Nova, he achieved a significant victory, winning the Supergrip Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway in June 2024. The car is now quicker, more consistent, and stable, allowing Gene to showcase his driving skills and put together impressive runs.
During the event, Gene's 60’ times remained remarkably consistent, with an overall variation of just .005 in his last four rounds of competition. This consistency and stability enabled him to deliver tight packages, leaving minimal margin for his competitors.
This just highlights one of the many projects we have undertaken at DDRC in the recent pass.
