| "Craig Lang owned and
had built two "Lang Coopers". The first car was the one driven by Al Holbert
that crashed badly at Seattle International Raceway into the Nickey pit
area and almost killed Ronnie Kaplan. That car was totally destroyed. Some
parts may have come off it and were used on the second car which was designed
by Pete Brock and the body was built by Don Edmunds.
Chassis and Ford driveline
by Wally Peat. This is the orange car in the photos.
The car was driven by
Ed Leslie and raced all over the west. It went back to Watkins Glen with
a Chevy Motor and Charlie Hayes driving. The car was sold to Skip Scott
(from the Penske race shop) sans Chevy motor. Nickey purchased the motor
and Charlie Hayes. The car then went to Essex wire and now is in South
Carolina."
