Lightning McQueen’s friends come in many different shapes and sizes. They are all marvelous machines that use their own power to get from one place to another—or quickly around a racetrack. Let’s take a peek under the hood and explore the amazing machines we call cars. It’s a Big Group! Cars are part of the big group of vehicles called automobiles, or motorized vehicles. In that group, you will find cars, trucks, buses, and vans. You will even find tractors, bulldozers, and fire trucks. There are different kinds of vehicles for different kinds of jobs. 4 What Every Vehicle Needs Every vehicle has an engine. The engine uses some kind of fuel for energy. A gasoline engine converts gasoline, or gas, into motion to get a car moving. An engine in an electric vehicle is called a motor. An electric car delivers power from the batteries to the motor. Let’s Get Rolling! Fuel runs the engine or motor, which sends power to the wheels. That power makes the wheels move. Let’s find out more about how these great machines work. 5 CARS TO RACE AND RIDE Sterling owns the Rust-eze Racing Center. Cars train there to become better racers. But what exactly makes a car a rce cr? What does a race car have that a family car or commuter car doesn’t? Fast Cars A race car like Cruz Ramirez is built for speed! Her body, engine, and tires help her go as fast as she safely can on the racetrack. 6 Family Cars A family car or a minivan is not for racing. Its job is to carry you and your friends or family on the road— not on the racetrack. It is built to keep you safe and comfortable. Commuter Cars Any car, except a race car, can be a commuter car. Its main job is to travel from home to work and back every day. Many of the best commuter cars are small, comfortable, and safe. 7 ALL SYSTEMS GO! Smokey was the Fabulous Hudson Hornet’s crew chief. If a car is in trouble, he can find the trouble and fix it! Smokey understands that a car is made up of many different systems. All the systems have to work together to keep a car running.

    GOING NATIONAL WHILE STAYING SOUTHERN: STOCK CAR RACING IN AMERICA, 1949-1979 A Dissertation Presented to The Academic Faculty By Ben A. Shackleford In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the History and Sociology of Science and Technology Georgia Institute of Technology December, 2004 GOING NATIONAL WHILE STAYING SOUTHERN: STOCK CAR RACING IN AMERICA, 1949-1979 Approved By Dr. Steven Usselman Dr. Gus Giebelhause Dr. Doug Flamming Dr. Philip Scranton Dr. William Winders Date Approved 22 July 2004 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A work of this scope inevitably draws upon resources outside the individual author. Luckily I have been able to draw upon many interested and willing librarians and archivists while conducting research for this project. I would like to thank Rebecca Lynch, Roger White, Maggie Dennis, Joyce Bedi, at the Smithsonian Institution. Buz McKim at the ISC archives, Betty Carlan at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, the Staff of the National Automotive History Collection at the Detroit Public Library, and Bonnie Walworth at the Ford Motor Company archives in Dearborn, Michigan. I would also like to thank the Lemelson Center, the Atlanta History Center, the Riddle Foundation and the School of History, Technology and Society at Georgia Tech whose generosity permitted me to work in such a variety of collections. Studying the history of technology often requires technical expertise beyond that available in the classroom. During my experience as a racing mechanic and fabricator I was fortunate to have many very capable teachers who willingly shared their expertise. Among these are my Robert Wagner, Smokey Yunick, Chris Brown, Amos Johnson, Thomas Blam and Franz Blam.

  • How a Flathead Six Schooled All the V8s on the American Oval Tracks Of
    Story Boris Viskovic Photos Simon Davidson How a flathead six schooled all the V8s on the American oval tracks of the early 50s F YOU’RE a fan of vintage NASCAR – or, more likely, if you have a child under the age of 10 – you would have heard of the Fabulous Hudson Hornet. For NASCAR aficionados, it was the team that laid waste to the competition from 1951-54. For the rest of you, it was that old blue race car voiced by Paul Newman that Ikept Lightning McQueen honest in the animated kiddie flick Cars. Powering those cars to victory was the 308ci, Twin H Power-equipped flathead six. Yep, that’s right; a There’s no mistaking a flathead six was dominating stock car racing in the Twin H-Power equipped early 50s. Mind you, back then stock car racing meant Hudson six; those air just that – the cars that raced were stock. cleaners are a dead Sure, the Hudson engine made pretty decent power giveaway. This one is – 170hp in Twin H-Power form – but it was also the a bit shinier than the combination of good handling, a low centre of gravity factory version, and and torque that left the competition eating dust. while the originals were Enzo Ferrari once said: “Horsepower sells cars, painted gold, it wasn’t torque wins races.” That could have been Hudson’s heavy metalflake motto.

After the busy holidays, I always seem to build-up a stack of car magazines and parts catalogs – now is an opportune time to re-read old WTN’s or look through that four month old Hemmings Motor News for the unique vehicle or part you missed the first time (and if it’s still available – chances are you’ll get a better deal on it now!). Speaking of deals, winter can also be a good chance to add a few dollars to your hobby slush fund by taking inventory of those Hudson spare parts you’ve been squirreling away. If you have no immediate use for the spares – consider advertising them in the WTN, the NEC newsletter you are holding in your hands or, listing them on an online auction like eBay. Getting those spare parts into a fellow enthusiast’s hands could be just what’s needed to get another Hudson on the road – and after all, that’s what our organization is about.
