The Underbird 279 SH

Épisode 279

mercredi 8 novembre 2023 • Durée 04:00

The Polish Prince's Victory Lap

On November 6, 1988, the air at Phoenix International Raceway crackled with excitement as Alan Kulwicki, the Polish Prince, tasted victory in his first NASCAR Winston Cup race. Adrenaline coursed through his veins like wildfire, fueling his daring decision to steer his car against the tide of the inaugural Checker 500. This bold act on that fateful autumn day breathed life into the now-famous Polish Victory Lap.

A celebrated tradition in the world of auto racing, the Polish Victory Lap sees the triumphant driver defying convention and speeding around the track in reverse, checkered flag proudly waving like a battle standard outside their window. Kulwicki's Polish heritage lent itself to both his nickname and this unique celebration of victory.

Kulwicki not only created that unforgettable victory dance, According to NASCAR lore, prior to the 1992 Hooters 500 (the final race of the season), Kulwicki got permission from Ford to change the "Thunderbird" lettering on his bumper to "Underbird," because he considered his team to be an underdog in the championship race. Despite breaking the first gear in his transmission during his first pit stop, Kulwicki employed a brilliant fuel-saving plan that helped him finish second in the race. With the great finish, Kulwicki capped off a six-race string that allowed him to overcome a 278-point deficit to capture the Winston Cup and made the Underbird part of NASCAR history.

Tragically, in 1993, a light aircraft accident snatched Kulwicki away from the racing world. Though he never got to defend his 1992 Winston Cup Championship, his legacy as a successful NASCAR driver—including earning Rookie of the Year in 1986—remains immortalized through the exhilarating ritual of the Polish Victory Lap.

The Rise and Fall of Hupp Motorcar 278 SHORT NaPodPoMo

Épisode 278

mardi 7 novembre 2023 • Durée 04:47

The Hupp Motor Company, a serious carmaker with a whimsical name, emerged from the ambition of Robert Craig Hupp. Born in Grand Rapids and raised in Detroit, Hupp's journey began at Olds Motor Works and continued at Ford Motor Company, where he honed his skills on the Model K.

Leaving Ford in 1907, Hupp set out to create a lightweight car tailored for American roads. With funds from J. Walter Drake, Joseph R. Drake, and John E. Baker, the Hupp Motor Car Company was born in 1908. As capital dwindled, Charles D. Hastings stepped in to finance a prototype for the upcoming Detroit Auto Show.

On a frigid night, snow drifting into their makeshift workspace, Hupp and Hastings feverishly completed their masterpiece: the two-seater Huppmobile Model 20. At its debut on February 15, 1909, the car garnered enough interest and $50 deposits to raise $25,000 and propel the company into production.

From rented factories to larger facilities, production soared from 1,618 cars in 1909 to 12,543 by 1913. The Huppmobile's reputation for affordability and reliability led to its selection as Detroit's first police cars.

A bold marketing stunt saw three men drive a Huppmobile around the world from November 10, 1910 to January 24, 1912. The 49,000-mile journey captured imaginations worldwide and solidified the Huppmobile as a global export. This heroic journey was covered in the book "Three Men in a Hupp: Around the World by Automobile, 1910-1912" by James A. Ward, link in the show notes.

However, two critical factors hampered success. First, Hupp ceased production of their lightweight model; secondly, he sold his stock and left his company in September 1911 due to differing visions.

Hupp started other car ventures without achieving similar success; most notably the Hupp Yates Electric Car Company with his brother Lewis. After legal disputes and rebranding to RCH Company, Hupp eventually joined Monarch Motor Car Company. By 1920, electric cars had lost popularity, and the RCH Hupp Yates was discontinued.

Meanwhile, the Hupp Motor Car Company continued to expand its operations, creating a legacy that would endure for over three decades.

Galloping Gertie's Tragic Collapse, RIP Tubby 276 Bonus NaPodPoMo

Épisode 276

lundi 6 novembre 2023 • Durée 05:00

The 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge, a once-majestic suspension bridge, stretched across Washington State's Puget Sound like a steel spider's web. It served as a vital link between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. However, on November 7, 1940, the bridge succumbed to a deadly dance with gravity, collapsing into the watery depths below.

Dubbed "Galloping Gertie" by its builders, the bridge was known for its mysterious vertical undulations in the wind. Despite attempts to tame its movements, it met its demise in 40 mph winds that morning. The twisting motion grew increasingly violent until the deck tore apart, leaving only remnants of towers and cables as silent witnesses to the catastrophe.

The fallen bridge now lies beneath the waves as an artificial reef while its successor, built in 1950, stands proudly upon the original pedestals. This tragic collapse served as a catalyst for advancements in bridge aerodynamics and aeroelastics, shaping future suspension bridge designs.

As early as 1923, engineers like Joseph B. Strauss and David B. Steinman were consulted for ideas to connect Tacoma with the Kitsap Peninsula. However, funding challenges and disagreements on design approaches plagued the project from its inception.

The innovative design proposed by Leon Moisseiff ultimately won out over Clark Eldridge's conventional design due to cost savings and elegance. Moisseiff's theory of elastic distribution promised to absorb wind pressure and transmit energy to anchorages and towers. Unfortunately, this approach proved insufficient in preventing disaster.

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse remains a cautionary tale for future generations of engineers and scientists alike – an unforgettable reminder that nature's forces can humble even our greatest creations.

On September 27, 1938, construction commenced on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, a $6.4 million marvel stretching 2,800 feet as the world's third-longest suspension bridge. The slender structure, designed with only two lanes and a mere 39 feet in width, earned its nickname "Galloping Gerty" from the workers who witnessed her dance amid moderate winds.

Despite attempts to steady her rhythmic swaying - from anchoring cables to concrete blocks or installing hydraulic buffers - all efforts fell short. Professor Frederik Falkenhusen proposed drilling holes for airflow or adding deflector vanes for aerodynamics, but fate intervened; the bridge collapsed five days after his recommendations.

1918 Newberry-Ford Senatorial Showdown

Visit the website www.nodrivinggloves.com

The 1918 Michigan senatorial race ignited national concern for regulating political campaign funds. Wealthy Republican industrialist Truman H. Newberry and Democratic automobile magnate Henry Ford clashed like titans. President Woodrow Wilson's favored candidate, Ford, ran in both the Republican and Democratic primaries.

Desperate to prevent Ford's sweeping victory, Newberry's team unleashed a torrent of ads and scathing accusations, painting Ford as a pacifist and anti-Semite. Consequently, Newberry claimed the Republican nomination while Ford secured the Democratic.

In November 1918, despite Ford's renowned status, Newberry triumphed in the general election, sparking outrage from citizens appalled by his campaign's lavish spending. Calls for his removal echoed throughout newspapers and among Republicans.

Newberry's troubles began even before his victory as allegations of excessive campaign expenses surfaced. The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections investigated these claims alongside petitions from Henry Ford contesting the election results.

Although Newberry faced criminal charges for violating federal and state campaign laws, the Supreme Court overturned his conviction in 1921. However, his battles within the Senate persisted.

After recounting ballots and investigating fraud allegations, the majority of the Senate committee found no evidence of improper use of money and exonerated Newberry. Dissenting Democrats insisted he knew about excessive expenditures and argued for his removal.

Debates raged in the Senate chambers until January 1922, with opponents asserting that Newberry's massive spending could not have gone unnoticed. Progressive Senator George W. Norris warned of a Senate dominated by wealthy men if Newberry were cleared.

On January 12, 1922, the Senate condemned Newberry's excessive expenditures as harmful to its honor and dignity, yet voted 46 to 41 in favor of him as a duly elected Senator from Michigan. The vote divided along party lines, with independent and radical Republicans siding with Democrats against Newberry while regular Republicans supported him. This concluded the formal Senate action in the Newberry-Ford contest.

It Takes Work To Be Lucky

Charlie Maxwell, a confidant and longtime employee of Harold Lemay, at a Lakewood Historical Society event, narrated tales of the man behind the Pierce County Refuse Company. From a single garbage truck in 1942, Lemay's empire swelled, becoming Washington's largest trash removal service and the 10th largest nationally. Yet, it was his fixation on vintage cars that brought Harold LeMay true fame.

Like a vine reaching for sunlight, his car collection burgeoned to over 3,000 vehicles, crowning him in the Guinness Book of World Records as the possessor of the largest privately owned automobile collection. When Harold passed in 2000, his wife Nancy and son Doug continued the family business and preserved the car collection while maintaining their annual August open house tradition – an event held at their, as Harold was called it, a three-story home with a 300-car garage.

In 2008, Waste Connections Incorporated bought Pierce County Refuse. Two years later, the Lemay Family Collection Foundation emerged as a non-profit corporation, welcoming visitors to explore its treasures at the former Marymount Military Academy in Spanaway. In June 2012, America's Car Museum sprouted in downtown Tacoma beside the iconic Tacoma Dome.

Harold E. LeMay's love for automobiles transcended all boundaries, capturing stories from countless individuals at his annual car show. His passion propelled him to purchase cars for their historical and cultural significance rather than as investments. He once remarked, "I don't go for just the dollar value of a car. If it's unusual, I like it." Dubbed "Lucky" in his youth, Harold adhered to his mantra: "It takes a lot of hard work to be lucky." And luck indeed followed him as he amassed an unparalleled collection.

Lucky's Garage stands as a tribute to Harold E. LeMay – an enduring exhibit at America's Car Museum. Meanwhile, the LeMay Family Collection at the Marymount Event Center continues to showcase over 500 vintage vehicles, primarily American-made cars, trucks, buses, fire engines, and motorcycles. This ever-growing collection, which began with Harold and Nancy LeMay, remains an emblem of their enduring legacy.

Unfortunately, Harold passed away on this day in 2000.

Horseless Horse Show This Date In Automotive History Nov 3, 1900 Bonus273 NAPODPOMO3

First Grand Auto Show, 1900 Nov 3

On this day in 1900, the first modern automotive spectacle ignited Madison Square Garden in New York City. Though there had been other auto shows, it was the first colossal display, and the first endorsed by an automobile group, the Automobile Club of America. For a staggering $0.50 – roughly $18.50 today – guests marveled at over 66 exhibitors, presenting a mere 31 vehicles to over 10,000 awestruck attendees.

The week-long extravaganza, known as the Horseless Horse Show, showcased breathtaking feats of braking and acceleration. A specially crafted ramp exhibited the hill-climbing prowess of various automobiles. Among the highlights was Ransom E. Ohl's unveiling of his curved-dash runabout prototype, the first mass-produced car in the world. Between 1901 and 1907, it retailed for $650 – approximately $24,000 today.

Curiously, none of the automakers participating in this historic event have survived to this day.
