RIP Loyed Woodland

Just heard of this, he was the driver of the historic 1966 W30 Brainbeau Oldsmobile. A national win by him put Oldsmobile back in the lime-light and record books!

Nice guy. I met him briefly at the 1968 NHRA Spring Nationals in Dallas Texas. He drove for Berejik Olds in 1968 and Smothers Brothers Racing team in 1969. I lost track of him after that.

Sorry to hear that, "Woody" was a member of the GMO club out of MA. When we were at the OCA Nats in Gettysburg, we met a man from PA (maybe NJ) who had an Olds collection. He told us he had recently purchased Woody's old 1966 Brainbeau W.

Yes the original car is in Pa being restored.
