Hey cool! I was just browsing classic car footage and didn't know you would be here. This old car would still be fast today. It's just FLYING at parts like 2:32!
This is AAA not NASCAR, totally different organization. This would become the USAC Stock Car series in 1955. AAA had a stock car class dating back to their origins in 1902.
@@spaghettiopizza8686 car enthousiaste like me who loves old V8 .-. Also if he was referring to the movie wouldn’t he says « Hudson is such an amazing character » ?
The guts it took to drive these cars is unbelievable. Sure they weren't going 200 MPH like they would in a couple decades like Richard Petty and Buddy Baker, but that barrell roll mustve been terrifying
So neat to see so many different manufactures out racing Nash, Hudson, Packard, & Studebaker; Just name a few independents.Thanks or the timeless recording.
Wow I seen the thumbnail and didn't watch at first cuz I was looking for actual footage of hudson hornets and thought it was footage from cars 3 cuz how identical it looked
In 1953 it was the Oldsmobiles vs the Hudson Hornets. Both cars were quite a bit different, but overall performance was a near dead even match. The Olds out powered the straight 6 Hudson by quite a bit, but the low center of gravity and weight made the Hudson handle like a dream.
But we’re talking about the average speed of 67 mph on dirt. So that’s not a bad result, really. Hornet with 7X engine was able to reach about 120 mph easily.
Those old things are faster than I thought, going 100+ MPH on an oval. Some of the faster shots do give some adrenalin. I bet you 99% of people these days would be scared sh*tless going that fast even today, especially in one of these old things. 3:47 was my personal favorite part. LIKE A BOSS!
WOW!!!, so glad to have found this Video! I don't remember much from being 3yrs. old but, I remember my introduction to Stock Car Raceing and this Race was my first, it sure doesn't seem like it's been 70 years! (I remember it being won by a Hudson Hornet, but I thought Marshall Teague was the winter, Oops,(the memory is the 1st to go, I forget what's next!) See ya at the races.🏁🏁😎
Mm, I’m trying to just find a decent body of a 1951 Hudson hornet coupe. I’m looking at either paying for a rust bucket that I’ll be pouring money just on the body or paying Around 10k less or more on a decent body. Still having to put in the interior and motor ect..
Not really, the Hudsons had special "export only" parts on them including dual carbs and much heavier duty suspension. Smokey Yunick built Marshall Teague's car, Yunick was NASCAR's most legendary cheater.
@MrRacingmonster Oh not only do you live old school, you dont even go to school. You know how much people like you who thought COVID was fake actually had died due to COVID? Numbers are going up not because of lies, but because of careless people like you who thinks 280K people don’t matter.

Yup. That's was Doc from Pixar Cars based on.

Ah, the iconic Hudson Hornet days. Those were the first major Nascar cars.
One of the firsts, anyway.

hornet was the model
Still is

Great footage of a great racetrack! Yes you really could hear the tires scream on a dirt track!
LOL 😂
From a person outside the US, this Nascar era is the only one that I find entertaining to watch
This is what is now considered dirt racing which is just like this actually
Oh, i like #1(51) Doc Fabulous Hudson Hornet and #71. But #4 did stretch his tires too much. I like this kind of race.
This is really well preserved. THANK YOU
Go Doc Hudson!!!
I started going to track in 69’ . First dirk footage ive seen. Maybe they should put the dirt back lol.
Yeah, we get a Nascar race again 🙄
@@davidmichek8433 I feel ya. DAMNIT
Spotted a Nash, Packard and Studebaker in amongst the field. Jack McGrath totalled his Hudson Hornet in a big way!

Nash was made in kenosha, right?

@@asd36f yeah, I was actually in the hometown of kissel, if you know them
The SonuvaShark20x 2 I’m a big fan of 1920’s American cars, so I’ve definitely heard of Kissel
This is AWESOME!!! It's such a shame we, Wisconsin, don't utilize the race track much anymore.
man give props to the flag guy, took guts to wave the green flag and checkered flag that close to those cars
A number of flagmen were hurt back in those days, so the moved them into a cage on the grandstand.
The guts it took to drive these cars is unbelievable. Sure they weren't going 200 MPH like they would in a couple decades like Richard Petty and Buddy Baker, but that barrell roll mustve been terrifying
Its the Hudson Hornet!
I have fallen down the best rabbit hole. Cheers
2:04 You can see Doc and Louise
I believe this was the last year of dirt before they paved it over...
…They brought it back
The Fabulous Hudson Hornet on turn 4: * 50's Rock music and a banjo plays in the background *

Jack McGrath was VERY lucky to walk away from THAT one. Unreal. Heckuva driver. Heckuva man
Wow I seen the thumbnail and didn't watch at first cuz I was looking for actual footage of hudson hornets and thought it was footage from cars 3 cuz how identical it looked
Good film. And in color.
The way it's controlled in the corners compared to other cars is beautiful. It is such an amazing body and the build
Thanks for the share!! My office is about 200 yards from turn 4. Thanks again for the share!
Nothing could touch those Hudsons in the curves

2:58 that footage is also on cars 3! But irl
3:04 and thats almost like docs crash
A lot of this inspired most of the scenes with doc
UNBELIEVABLE, OH NO THE HUDSON HORNET HAS LOST CONTROL THE HUDSON HORNET HAS LOST CONTROL!!!! 😂😂😂
*sigh*
This is some of the coolest footage I've seen from the mile. I'm lucky to have seen many races live here since the early 90s.
Started attending the races in the 60's with my dad at the Milwaukee mile til the present day, hope to see the Milwaukee mile get back to racing
Well we only have 5 more months til the green flag drops
Thats my uncle Johnny Mantz!!!!!!!!!!! LETS GO!!!!
1:57 Does that car say "Fabulous Hudson Hornet"? No way!
Yes 😄 cars wasn't lying. And look, the car dominate the race
“Fabulous” was just that and won NASCAR and AAA races all over the country including Daytona road course
It's funny that there were less injuries in the old Nascar but more injuries as time progressed
love the sound effects every wreck sounds the same
i love seeing the hornets they are such amazing cars with amazing history. Definitely a dream car for me.
1:55 Teague is drifting
Vaiiii Hudd, dale Hudson Hornet o melhor carro de corrida do mundo ❤️❤️❤️❤️
67 mph for the winner lol. Oh man. Great, great stuff
But we’re talking about the average speed of 67 mph on dirt. So that’s not a bad result, really. Hornet with 7X engine was able to reach about 120 mph easily.
53 Hudson hornet 👌
Those dubed in sound effects

They would. These drivers didn't even race 500 miles in stock cars unless it was Darlington.

For Doc Hudson
This should be recreated. Pre-'61 cars are still around as cheap 4drs. with bad cosmetics but still solid.
And on DIRT for sure!
@IT'SME Oh that's a bummer. But I get it.

Who is?
1:32 Race Start

You gotta a lot of stuff kid
Stock was stock back then. NASCAR is a misnomer nowadays and has been for many years. Leave out the 'S'.

Indeed a fabulous lesson in history. NASCAR should watch it. They might get back to real racing if they did. 😎
Sadly many of the folks there are dead already
Balls of steel to drive on dirt at those speed's
Wait I think that’s doc
Wait... I think I'm doc, Hooray!
Doc is originated from the “fabulous Hudson hornet” and the 50’s dirt racing.
This is what ARCA once was.
They were MARC back then. This is a AAA race where they let the MARC guys race
If it wasnt for cars in 2006 i would never knew legend and old days thanks cuz i was 5 years old :)
As old school car ethusiast im happy

The kids of today think the sport of drifting is new these guys were doing it all the time.
Drifting came way before this it started in rally racing in the 30s that is sketchy drifting cuz it was in model T like designed cars
PITCHING IT HARD AND BREAKING IT LOOSE!
This is where I though drifting originated
"Drifting" started with the very first race cars at the beginning of the 1900s!
Amazing!
Sam hanks beautiful car with that beautiful rebel flag on the side👍
You came for 3:31.
He did what in his cup?
Headlights are taped....😮😆👍
The tape is to keep the headlight glass intact. This is before they started using plastic molds for the headlight lenses.
