Lightning sat in his trailer, focusing on the race ahead. “Speed. I am speed,” he chanted, revving his engine. Jacob was on the way home with the family after a great day at the local racetrack. Jacob could still hear the roar of the car engines as they raced around the track, and the smell of burning rubber from the tyres still lingered in Jacob’s nose. Jacob wondered what it would be like to be a car, and began to daydream… The daydream led Jacob to the Motor Speedway of the South, where the atmosphere was building for the big race. Jacob was a car! And not just any car, Jacob was part of the pit crew team for the legendary Lightning McQueen! Lightning sat in his trailer, focusing on the race ahead. “Speed. I am speed,” he chanted, revving his engine. In a flash of red, Lightning sped by his fans as the stadium exploded with cheers. He couldn’t help but smile as he blistered past his favourite competitors, Cal, Bobby, and Brick. The chequered flag waved, and Lightning flew across the finish line for the win! Lightning smiled as he went to collect his trophy. He’d lost count of how many races he had won, but knew he couldn’t have won any of them without the help of his team, including Jacob!

During the next race, Lightning managed to pull into the lead after a speedy pit stop, with help from Jacob. Sadly, the lead did not last long, as Storm coasted past him effortlessly. “No! No, no, no, no!” yelled Lightning. As he strained to catch up with Storm, he pushed himself too hard. Suddenly, Lightning lost control, spinning wildly. He crashed into the side of the track which sent him catapulting in the air! Lightning came crashing back down to earth, before bouncing several times, finally coming to a stop in the middle of the track. Lightning refused to retire.

    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.

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.

  • Hudson Seven Decades Ago, During The
    Hudson Seven decades ago, during the pioneer years of stock car racing, nothing could stop the fabulous Hudson Hornets and their fabulous racing drivers. Dick Rathmann for instance, “ the braver Rathmann,” of the Rathmann brothers, himself and Jim, was one of the fastest Hudson drivers, as well as the toughest: should his Hornet need fresh tires and a tank of gasoline, he stop randomly in somebody else’s Hornet pit stall and threaten its mechanics with a pounding unless they serviced him; strategy always worked. But Rathmann was in a jam on a 1951 afternoon in California for a 250-lap race on the Oakland dirt track. Only one week earlier he’d been racing in the deep south where’d blown up his Hornet. A fresh one was available in Chicago, but only if Rathmann re-built it, because it had been in a rollover. So, after first making the long drive to Chicago, Rathmann was forced to spend three sleepless nights repairing the replacement Hornet and then had had to set out towing to Oakland in a blizzard. One hundred miles from Oakland, Rathmann’s tow car expired. Unwilling to miss the race, he hastily roped the dead tow car to the back of the Hornet, and arrived in Oakland so late that qualifying laps already had begun. And Rathmann scarcely had time to buckle on his helmet when his gas tank broke off. Which might have been a problem to somebody else, but not Rathmann: he simply approached the driver of another Hornet, told him he was taking his gas tank, and did.
