So I'm flipping through the channels and turn to Pinks All Out on Speed Channel. It's a new episode taking place in Atlanta. TV is on mute as I'm chatting on the phone and low and behold up pulls a 49 Coupe dragster racing against a 200X Corvette. It was the Quarter Finals.



I googled the drivers name and found some links.

I hope the episode is on again so I can catch it with sound in its entirety. I won't spoil it and tell you what happened.

    See...Hudson with Fat tires and front wheels off the ground :D

    BTW - was he running a single here or did they scare the left lane into red-lighting? :p

    Isn't that the coupe belonging to our forum member here: harcoequip?



    From the article mentioned: "Jody Blalock (’49 Hudson – Commerce, Ga. - eighth-finalist)".

    I was wondering if that was the same car - a previous post by harcoequip mentioned going to the Atlanta strip to do some TO's.

    I bet the Pinks croud were surprised to see a Hudson ;) = I'd like to hear some first hand stories from the event!
