    Tim's qualifications for the HOF go well beyond merely winning two National Championships. Above all, he was a real gentleman and top drawer representative of NASCAR and the Charlotte Motor Speedway. He and wife Frances came to a number of Hudson Club meets and spoke to us about those early days in NASCAR.

    Way to go - we got two Hudson drivers in the HOF. It's great to see Tim Flock getting the nod. He, also, deserves it.

    Hudsonly,

    Tim and Frances deserved this recognition years ago. Two great folks who always went out of their way to promote Hudson and the folks who own them. Glad to know Tim's contributions are recognized.

    I wonder if "Jocko Flocko" will be given some recognition here!
