    The bottom photo was a fun night shot. I'm impressed that it came out that nice without a tripod...

    This year's HET Western Regional was a complete blast!!!! It was completely worth the 20 hours I spent behind the wheel of a Hudson Jet. I really can't complain about the distance, the Grand Canyon chapter had the most members present at the business meeting, they really had a haul to get to San Jose.

    I met so many nice HET'ers there, and a lot of Classiccar.com members too. (Yorgatron, sorry I didn't get a pic of your car). It's always nice to see old friends and make new ones. If you ever have a chance to sample one of Bruce Silva's famous hot dogs, don't miss it! They're the best!

    Matt,

    Nice pictures! Was yours the only Jet there? Now, I know why you didn't fly back east with your family this weekend. Hudsons are thicker than blood! LOL Uncle Bill

    Thanks Hudsonkid, I appreciate it!

    Uncle Bill, my Jet was the only one there. I figured that with $4+ a gallon gas, the meet would be full of them. Maybe I'm ahead of the curve!

    Sheree and Reagan had a nice time at your place on Monday! Maybe I'll get there next year???

    I could have sworn I saw video footage of this event on the Vintage Vehicle TV show! My husband already knows I'm car crazy, but I reassured that thought when I jumped off the couch and shouted "I know whose Hudson that is! OH, and that one, too!"
    Take a Ride in a Hudson Jet!

    You were partially correct, it was the Western Regional HET meet on Vintage Vehicle, but it was from two years ago in Ontario CA! It was fun parking my Jet next to Fred Roth's Italia at that meet.
