A V. Hudson is listed in the database as competing in 1973 with J Hart (probably Jack Hart from Seattle Washington) and in 1974 with Robin Udall. Anyone know Robin's nationality?

Was he a Canadian citizen back in 2000-2005?
I've only spoken to him briefly a couple of times when he dropped by the track to help Pete with the Ireson.
Maybe I better track down his phone # (in Kingston?) and give him a call.

Chris,
Don't believe a word that Vince tells you.
He thinks his father is Canadian because he had a checked shirt and once chopped a tree down. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I took the shell off my racing snail thinking it would make him faster.
It just made him more sluggish.

If you want to hold your laptop up beside your TV to compare, there is a picture of a slightly younger slightly slimmer Rob in his bio on the TT database :)
