 My dad had a '35 Hudson Terraplane...He'd
 tell us stories of racing between Brantford and Turkey Point, as a kid right before the war..I believe one of his buddies had an old Caddy, which he beat in the short run, but when it got wound up, would catch up to him...I loved these stories as a kid...Probably one of the reasons I grew up as a car lover....Unfortunately, dad loved booze as much as cars....Bad mix there      dragonfly
