Great American Race Finale
Attachments :
Greetings from SoCal on Independence Day, the largest National holiday in
the U.S.A. The Great American Race started in Atlanta, GA and finished in
Pasadena, CA last Saturday and some of our local Hudson Super Six folk went
to greet the participants and oogle the machinery. Jeff & Heidi Gould, Lew &
Kathy Phelps and myself formed the local contingent.
As you may know, our own Bob Harris ran his 1928 Hudson Roadster in the
event, and it was a particular pleasure to meet Bob and his navigator Randy
in person at last. Bob had graciously removed the heavy bronze windshield
casting from his Roadster a couple of years ago so that a few of us could
have castings made from his master to further our '28 Roadster projects. We
sure owe you on that one Bob!
In addition to Bob's '28, there were four other Super Sixes present in
Pasadena, all early model Super Six race cars. One of them, No 17 the 1917
"Indy Racer" placed second overall. The immaculately stunning car has a
modified motor producing something like 100 - 115 hp, an AL body and weighs
only 2200 lbs. Top speed is said to be 102 mph.
I had a bit of a chat with the navigator, Gary Kuck and he has now joined
the Super Six list. As you might guess, he knows these cars inside and out
and will have some hard won tips to share that can only come from someone
that has spent so much time with these cars in difficult circumstances.
Welcome aboard Gary!
I will be posting some pics of the cars over the next week or so and will
begin with a snap of Bob's '28 Roadster with some of our local group.
