Didnt Hudson fudge a little bit with the twin H 308 engine availability in the Hudson Jet or am I wrong here ? I know NHRA let then run the motors in the Jets but they let 4 speeds run in 57 Chevys too. I heard a story about a prominent Hudson stocker racer convincing NHRA that the jet was available with the twin H when it wasnt. Theres a few of the bath tub Hudsons still running at Bonneville in the vintage production classes in the 140 mph range. Production there refers to the body, anything goes in the motor but max 320 cubes.
