SPRING CITY, Pa. -- S&W Race Cars is proud to announce that Carlo ‘Ollie’ Volpe has joined their Sales Team. Ollie’s interest in the internal combustion engine started in the late 1950’s. He was tearing apart and trying to rebuild carburetors and lawnmower engines long before his 15th birthday. In 1964, he crossed paths with someone who changed his commitment to engines and racing for the rest of his life. That someone was the late Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins. The knowledge and respect that he acquired in his formative years, by building an association with this extremely talented and unique personality, has given Volpe that burning desire to always strive to be the best.

Through the late sixties and early seventies Ollie’s cars set 4 NHRA National Records in Super Stock and Street Eliminator.
