Here is a video showing an Oldsmobile Cutlass racing the way Oldsmobiles do well.

road racing isn't what comes to mind when thinking of Oldsmobiles. but they did okay on the ovals of NASCAR, back in the day.

You sure? Oldsmobile has a rich road racing backround. They were in Can-Am, and in the 80's heavily into IMSA and Trans-Am.

What about the 1st generation Toronados at Pike's Peak, back in the late 1960s?

The Stickman

I thought to include that. Wasn't sure if it was more rally, offroad, or road racer. I guess it's a bit of all three.

One of the Smothers brothers ran a 70 W31 in the Baja 1000.I believe someone came across the car and is restoring it.
