An excellent suggestion by cousin Roger, was to start a new thread for the annual race this year! I thought...YES! That's an excellent suggestion! I'm going to smoke cousin Roger! No matter what he says! I've invented a new engine for the Moonshine mauler! It uses gas or shine equally well! I'll be communing with the spirits, while running the race and if I start running low on gas, instead of a pit stop, I'll save/make time, by pouring shine into the tank without having to hit pit road. You guys don't stand a chance! I'll have the most powerful engine and not have to make pit stops either! I'd like to see Garrett beat me this year!! Ha!! He better get a move on! I'm also going to use a special kind of shine that gives a racing engine extra kick! I'm going to watch that episode where Jesse uses Shine to beat a female revenuer......help me out brethren....what episode/year is that....you know name, episode, year etc.??? I'm lost! .....Cut me some slack....I lack to never found my way off the track last week while I was practicing!! ....so I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer!

Well....I'm here at the starting line and I'm gunning my Mauler's engine, to warm up! I'm about to take off and I'm waiting on everybody to show up! I'd hate to win by forfeit! LOL! It looks like I may not have to worry about Garrett beating me this year......don't know about the rest of you! I got Daisy and Emma on my side! LOL! ( Roger doesn't even know....or have a clue! )

Here's a short video with Stephen Fry explaining what he thinks are the differences British and American comedy. They're certainly very different, but both can be very funny. Watching the "Americans React" videos has shown me how few British comedies most American have seen and how it takes a while to get used to the different tone before they get into them and appreciate them. I hope I'm encouraging some of you to look at shows from outside the US.

You should start a new thread titled 2026 Moonshine 400. Let the trash talking begin. I have a lot to say about how I am going to leave you in my dust.

Right now I'm watching the Reds and the Cubs.....gotta go with the Cubs...I'm old school.....Better Dead then Red!! I'm going to watch DOH here in a bit and then go to bed and watch it there like I always do! I'm on season 7 right now.....what season is everybody else on? I usually watch DOH at night, in bed, before sleep. What are your watching habits? I'm jumping between this game and the Brewers,,....naturally they're ( The Brewers) one of my favorite teams....lol!

None of that stuff will help ya! I'm working on a new engine for the Mauler......it can run on gas or Shine! That way if I start to run low, i'll just share what I'm drinking with the engine.....and we'll ( me and my engine/car ) be the first ones across the finish line!

Yep And you aren't going to believe what I have planned. You will never guess. Okay, I can't wait. I have to say it. I'll be on Emma's postal dirt bike but she is going to be operating it remotely on top of Iron Mountain where she can see the entire race. Ain't no way anybody can beat me and her when we team up. I have to give you credit Hobie with your buttermilk comment. I thought it would be fun to have a buttermilk in each hand so you inspired me by saying I was racing with one hand. I'm taking this to the next level. You might have noticed I've been delivering the mail in my truck lately. That's because Emma has been at Elon Musk's house these past couple days and they are working on the bike. I have to admit I am a little concerned. She is quite a catch. I hope he doesn't get any ideas and try to steal her from me.

Although I use my phone to check HNet when I'm out of the house, I make well over 90% of my contributions from a laptop. The ability to easily switch between multiple tabs and multiple sources, and having an actual keyboard to type on means that I can't imagine getting nearly as involved with smaller devices. Roger, I don't know how big your tablet is, but I'm sure the larger screen benefits your viewing of photos and videos.

Jesse is here sitting on the dirt bike and his only job is to put the kick stand up when the race starts. Everything is going to be done remotely by Elon in his office and by Emma who is looking down from the peak of Iron Mountain. This is going to be an easy win for Team Tisdale. The bike has been programed by the biggest tech genius in the history of the world and it's only command is to win the race at all costs. Emma's role is actually pretty minimal. She is really only going to be there to make minor adjustments and take the remote controls as a back up if something goes wrong.....but that is not likely to happen because technology is superior to humans and nothing can possibly go wrong. The race is in the bag. Jesse can sit back, relax and let the Elon Muskcycle do all the work. High tech is gonna shine in the Moonshine 400. You people who are stupid enough to not believe in technology are gonna learn how superior it is.

This was great! I think Hobie, Cooter and a few other characters ( us! ) in Hazzard need to work on building a highway straight from you ( Hoss) , to us! It was funny when he talked about the "Knobs". You guys have neat ways of expressing things! The highway can even be part of next years Moonshine Run! Do you guys have Moon over there? What's it called?

I don't know if this is allowed or not because it's not known by anybody, but,....... Spiral notebook I write notes from the books I read and I read over the notebooks every day ( so I remember what I read) and right now I'm reading in my purple notebook ( I have ones with green, blue and black covers too)

Purple

HEY!! Somebody needs to holler at Garrett and tell him the race is going to be in about 24-26 hrs....!! That's why I'm working myself to death getting my Manifolds re-worked and my over head cams cleaned!! I might let you guys know more about my special fuel additive later on.....when it's too late to do anything about it! Ha! Ha!! I'm putting in new plugs and air filter and even a new oil filter!!!

You've never really seen me drive, when I'm lit ,hot shot! Once Emma sees me feeding you my dust, she'll be all over me!! ( actually I'm hoping to catch Daisy's attention!! LOL! )......You better bring your big boy pants and every horsepower you can muster.......I've got special fuel designed to make my engine run faster than anybody's!!

This is going to be a good year for the MS400!!

You have just sealed your doom Hobie. Even thinking about kissing my woman is a kiss of death for you and your stupid car. I have something special for you. By the time me and Elon are done modifying the dirt bike it's going to be more dangerous than the mean green machine. Emma's honor needs defended and I'm just the man to do it. Enjoy your last place trophy.

😂

😂

HA!! We don't care about Elon or whatever kind of rich boy you got on your side! We're gonna mop the road with you AND then...I'M gonna give Emma a kiss on the forehead......! Right in front of you!

I don't even know why you folks are even bothering racing. Didn't you see what I wrote? Elon Musk has rigged the dirt bike up with the latest tech. It simply can't be beat. Just hand Jesse the trophy now and cancel the race. It will be a complete waste of time since the winner is already known before it even starts. With Jesse on the dirt bike and Emma at the remote controls at the peak of Iron Mountain and the backing of Elon Musk and the most superior technology known to human beings, I'm declaring Jesse the winner right now. It's over before it starts. You can go home now. Just hand Jesse the trophy first.

George Jones

Yes....I've started a thread......where are you cousin Roger? Are you planning some Dirty Double Dealings out there on the road?? I'm prepared for 3D !! ( Dirty Double Dealings) ....LOL!!

Season 1 Episode 5 High Octane. Hobie you better watch out in the race, the Professor has invented a new device to soup up the Minnow for me. I'll be right on your tail. 😂 I'm coming I'm coming! 😂

Tammy Wynette........Our D-i-v-o-r-c-e- becomes final today...........

That's sad.

you better watch it cousin Roger.....those types like Elon are famous for stealing away fickle young girls like Emma!

Sorry, I'm a little late with my Miami Grand Prix summary, but the result changed slightly after the race, so it worked out in the end. As before this season, Kimi Antonelli didn't get the best start, and was passed by Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, although Max almost immediately had a spin which lost him several places. In the opening laps, Kimi briefly retook the lead before Charles got it back, and then Lando Norris took second from Kimi. As that was happening, Isack Hadjar hit the barrier and Pierre Gasly flipped over before landing the right way up. Both drivers were fine, but it brought out the safety car. When the pit stops came around, Charles had a slow stop which slipped him back a little. By about the mid-race point, Kimi got past Lando and Max (who'd pitted earlier). In almost a mirror of Max's first lap, Charles had a spin on the last lap and lost a couple of places. At the checkered flag it was Kimi in the Mercedes in first for his third win in a row. Behind him were the McLarens of Lando and Oscar Piastri ahead of the other Mercedes of George Russell. Max fought back to fifth, and the video linked below shows Charles ending up in sixth, but a post-race penalty dropped him to eighth behind Lewis Hamilton and Franco Colapinto. The race highlights are here. There's now a 3-week gap until the Canadian Grand Prix from the Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal.

Well guys....I'm tuning up the Moonshine Mauler, getting ready for the big race. on Sat. the 9th !! I've got a few tricks up my sleeve....don't know if they're legal or not but in a dirty no holds barred race like The Moonshine 400, anything goes!! SO.....I'm making plans and adding a few new devices to my ride for the race on Sat. ! Do you guys have any special equipment or tactics?

Did you watch the WURTH 400 in Texas? That was ok but neither one of my drivers won!

Besides all that, I refuse to pay the crazy prices for computer phones etc. There are only a handful of occupations, where you actually NEED a computer phone, so the rest is called " Just wait until you get home to look it up". People pay exhorbitant prices to be hip, cool, with the " In " crowd etc. I will not!

After the opening races of the F1 season were dominated by Mercedes, Kimi Antonelli could only qualify in second for the Sprint race yesterday, sandwiched between the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. In the race, Kimi lost out at the start and McLaren went on to finish first and second. Although Kimi fought his way back to fourth behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, a penalty saw him relegated to sixth behind George Russell and Max Verstappen. Cadillac have improved slightly to be competing in the mid-field. The sprint race highlights are here. In the qualifying for the main race, Oscar Piastri came close to an early exit, but eventually put his car in seventh. At the front, there are four different teams in the first four places. Kimi Antonelli got pole ahead of Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris. Qualifying highlights are here. If anyone's planning to watch the main race live, please note that the race time has been brought forward three hours to 1pm local time due to a predicted thunderstorm.

F1 is finally back this weekend with the Miami Grand Prix, but I'll post about that later. First, I read the sad news earlier that Alex Zanardi died yesterday at 59 years old. The Italian driver spent a few years in F1 before moving to the US where he won the CART World Series in 1997 and 1998 with Chip Ganassi Racing. After that, he had another brief stint in F1 before returning CART. In 2001, he lost both legs in a terrible crash in Germany, and survived for nearly an hour with less than a litre (under two pints) of blood left in his body. Undaunted by the injury, he returned to various forms of motor racing., but it was racing handbikes where he really succeeded once more becoming a four-time Paralympic gold medallist and 12-time world champion. There was a minute's silence for Alex Zanardi before today's Miami F1 sprint race. There's a full article at bbc.com.

Hey Garrett! It's good to see you bud! Hey, just remember OUR race, the Moonshine 400! Remember last year? You were the winner! This year you will need to defend your championship! I plan on giving The Moonshine Mauler an extra .....uh special tune up.....just to make sure you don't rough me up right at the last, like you did last year! LOL! Not only will you need to guard against me but cousin Roger and his unequaled skill, of driving with only one hand......while chugging Buttermilk straight from the carton!! LOL!

MOONSHINE 400!! Hey guys! The 2nd Annual Moonshine 400 snuck up on us! ( on me?? ) We're now in the 1st week of may....( 5/4/25 was the 1st annual !!) and so I figure instead of having it tomorrow on the second, we could spend this week preparing for it and all the things we need to do, watch out for etc. and then NEXT Sat, on May 9th, we can have the official 2nd Annual Moonshine 400! Then we can all meet at the Boar's Nest and congratulate the winner and console the losers....with my special " Back 40 Moon" and cousin Roger's Boar's Nest Buttermilk!

well cousin, we hope you're having fun, wherever you are on the holiday! Fun is what it's all about on Dukes Of Hazzard Day! If you get back anytime soon, stop in and say " HEY! " We'll all be down at the Boar's Nest doing what you imagine we'd be doing!!

This is why Daytona and Talladega isn't a favorite to me. It's all about the big one and all the accidents. I am glad no one got hurt in the accidents, though.

You mean this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ2cUWuHzcM

probably so.....We serve tea hot but mostly cold. I couldn't tell you the last time I had hot tea.

We have iced coffee as an option here, but tea is a hot drink. It's a staple in the UK and Ireland. Until I started watching these videos, I hadn't realized how rare kettles are in American homes. I think one if them said that the lower mains voltage in the US means they take much longer to boil.

It looks like the last one was 2022.

I bring you Sad news Dukes fans... I just found out Bo's Extravaganza doesn't exist anymore. 😲 😢

That was a Crash party!
