A Reader's Response About The Hudson Hornet
by Charles Wilson, Tennessee
Hugh. I was born in Sanford, NC. There were several NAS Car Drivers and Race Care Owners from there. Since you mention Hudson Hornet, I'll name one. One of my friends and I were 15 or 16 years old and NASCAR was fascinatwing to us. We would go to the garage of an Owner/Driver Herb Thomas. He raced Hudson Made Car in early years and won races everywhere he raced his Hudson Hornet. I believe he holds the records on the curcuit, especially at Darlington, SC, The Crown Jewel of NASCAR in days gone by. Herb would do his own mechanics work. He would share racing stories with high school boys like us. He won Charlotte Race also, and many more. Herb put the Hudson Name of Cars in it's day. Interesting you mentioned cars and Hudson came to mind with Herb Thomas.
