Hudson's racing efforts were simple : dual carbys and low center of gravity .
Ths pi$$ed off the big three so badly , they had nascar cheat and change the rules to knock Hudson out of the racing game .
The dual carbys were available on the sedans too , you'll occasionally see the " Twin H Power " badging on the trunk, now you know what it means .
Hudson's were & are , terrific cars , notice I don't own one though .
