It is a pleasure to welcome you all to México as we celebrate our country’s return to the FIA Formula 1 World Championship calendar. Twice before, from 1963 to 1970 and from 1986 to 1992, México City has been the scene of exciting World Championship races. We enjoy a proud heritage in the sport: from the early brilliance of the Rodríguez brothers, the sterling efforts of Moisés Solana and Héctor Rebaque to the modern achievements of Esteban Gutíerrez and Sergio Pérez, Mexican drivers have carved their own names in the history of the sport. A few of you may have been here before. You will find many things the same – yet different. The race will still take place in the parkland of Magdalena Mixhuca where great names of the past wrote their own page in Mexican history, but the lay-out of the 21st-century track is brand-new.

  • Hudson Motor Car Company
    HUDSON MOTOR CAR COMPANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS Volume 1 TS 77-1 – TS 84-2 Introduction In the early 1970's I began a research project aimed at collecting information about Hudson built cars, the idea being to put this information from many sources into one place. The data came from Hudson parts books, owner's manuals, outside sources, even Hudson ads through the years. In 1984 I put it all together as "The Hudson, Essex and Terraplane Handbook of General Information". At that time, when I sought to find an outlet for this handbook, realizing that it would receive limited distribution, it met with resounding silence. Admittedly, I did not pursue the sales of this volume - i.e., advertising it in the HET Club publication, the "White Triangle News". I did, however, have some copies printed up and sent them to various chapter presidents with the idea of having them show it around to their members. In 1993 I came across a new medium for editing and storing this data - the computer age arrived at my household. Little did I realize at the time how much work and time would be involved in the task of imputing my original handbook to a computer file. However, it was finally done and now it was possible to print copies much more easily. It also became evident that it was easier to change - and while the basic information remains the same, there have been some corrections (mostly typos) and changes in format. Several HET members have received copies of these newer computer generated handbooks for services rendered - they also, I have found, make excellent Christmas gifts.
