W-30 1970-72

[COPO_Anders]

I have always admired W-30 cars but never really learned much about them. And this article doesn´t give much information about any specific car in the collection. They all more or less seem to be "drivers", like my COPO.
Ulf bought his first 442 in 1984, but hurt the engine with his heavy right foot. So he ended up selling the car, but soon realized his mistake. So he bought another one and hasn´t sold one since.

This is Pierre Becker also in Sweden who races this real thing 1971 442 W30 that was restored by Greg Godon a few years back. It uses a Nascar 350 small block Olds stroker and is very fast.

Pierre is an Olds fanatic also and comes over to the U.S. to visit and party with the serious Olds racers twice a year and just returned home after the Olds Nationals in Norwalk and a visit to many of his friends' places around the country. This year he was with the Hunt family in Alabama (fastest Olds powered car in the world (twin turbo dragster)) and taught them how to really catch bass. He also comes over to the Iowa bash in February which is becoming the center of Olds racing rapidly. He has a 69 442 and a 68 442 conv also. He usually drives someone's car at Norwalk who can't drive at the moment or make the meet.

Pierre goes by the screen name Olds Power on www.realoldspower.com and can be reached there with a PM. Tell him I said Hi.
