Congratulations to Joe Donnelly

I must say "Congratulations" are in order for Joe Donnelly. Joe has the "Run to Rund" '66 W30 Tribute and was recently featured in Muscle Car Review. I met Joe a couple of years back at the York U.S.30 Reunion and was quite impressed with both his car and his vast knowledge of Oldsmobile performance. He is like a walking encyclopedia when it comes to high-performance and rare racing Oldsmobiles. I see his answers and comments on different sites and they are always spot-on. WAY TO GO JOE!!!!!

Thanks. Way back in the early and mid 70s, people assumed I liked the 66 more than the 70 because I had one. No, I have had 3 now, because they are what I like. Now it seems others have decided that the 66 was a special effort by Olds engineers.

I'll come to the Zone show next October, but you just HAVE to keep the rain away next time, lol. Between Tx and MA my car has seen more rain than it did in its first 45 years

Congrats, Joe!!! I sent Willis Dennis a Christmas card, earlier this week, super nice guy.
I picked up my copy of MCR, a couple days ago.
There is a side view of my gold Toro in that magazine (pg 39)

Congratulations Joe, I'll make a point of picking up a copy for my archives. Always a treat to have you and "Run to Rund" as guests here in the Lone Star State.

Thanks, guys.
p. 39 is an article on Joe Fotschky's 69 H/O; do you mean p. 32?
