Our old car is alive and REALLY WELL !!!
 
I was so honored to see the Nov . issue of the Hemmings Muscle Machine Magazine. Fred's 1970 Olds 442 W-30 car is on the Front cover. They did a real nice piece about the history of the car. It now lives in Arizona with one of the nices guys you would every meet. Oh how many times did Bret Mc Farlands corvette run against us for Class . Boy those were the days.

I haven't seen the issue yet, but will look for it. I remember the first time I saw Fred's 4-4-2 at the Indy Sportsnationals back in the early '80's. It definitely inspired me to get to work on mine.

That Cutlass and the Connells were always favorites at the Hill, among fans and racers alike.

Oh beleive me don't think he hasn't talked about it. I wonder if OBAMA will give us some Stimulus money to fix it up. We definitly put money back in the economy when you want to go racing. What do you think !!
