Feeling the freedom of no one in view, Garrett allows his car to slow a bit to give the powerful engine a rest a bit while resting back into his leather seat. He finally glances into his rear view mirror and his heart skips a beat as he sees Jesse's vehicle come across the curve and into view. Sitting up in his seat he presses the accelerator down forcefully the car jolts forward with increase speed. "Eat my dirt, Jesse," he says aloud with a confident smile.

You really don't

Watching the vehicles behind begin to edge and fight one another, Garrett eyes the open road ahead of him. Though knows anything can happen at any time...

I missed that, but that is chilling. Probably something everyone should consider about life.

Definitely a shocker. So sad to hear that his wife, kids and family have lost him and that millions of his fans will never see him race again. ABC News showed a snippet of his interview after his last race where he said each win was special because you never know when it will be your last. Chilling.

Keeping his attention on the race, Garrett refuses to fall into everyone's competitive talk and pushes the pedal down farther and a hint of a smile crosses his face at feeling the great power of the engine. Passing Jesse, he gives him a slight respectful nod, before speeding up front. (Sorry y'all I've been away from my computer a bit.)

Hobie takes another sip of shine ( you never waste a sip!) LOL! , and he passes everybody with his specially formulated super charged shine .....everybody except Meadow and Daisy ( He's too busy looking at them.....!! ) and then he sees he's going to have to really get it in gear because Garrett and Roger have just about passed him! ( That's when Hobie realizes he should've paid more attention to those two in the locker room before the race.....they were obviously making plans and conspiring to beat him! )

Y'all beat me again with reporting NASCAR news. But I did find this video:

BOSS BIG BILLIE tucker

From cootersplace.com: Our Smoky Mountain journey began in Gatlinburg back in 2002, where so many wonderful memories were made through the years. Later, we brought Cooter’s to nearby Pigeon Forge and continued building something very special with all of you. Now, after nearly a quarter century in the Smokies, we are preparing for our final season there. For the rest of this season, we’re planning a wonderful lineup of events, celebrations, reunions, stories, music, laughter, and memories with the people who helped make The Dukes of Hazzard such a lasting part of American pop culture. We are especially excited to welcome Catherine Bach, Tom Wopat, Byron Cherry, and Jeff Altman during this closing season, along with the wonderful staff here at Cooter’s who have loved and cared for our visitors through the years like family.

That says a mouthful right there! You NEVER know.......

Hobie finally sees his chance and he floors it and takes a big swig of his special shine! He's starting to feel it but that's ok....he's passed Meadow, Roger and somebody that....looked like Hoss?? Anyway, he isn't going to let Garrett's surprise move take him out of it! Hobie puts the heel to the steel and passes everybody....but...he's feeling it and starts coughing....and ....his allergies start acting up. He has just passed Garrett ( he owed the guy one for beating him last year! ) He doesn't know how much longer he can hold on to the lead, now that he's got it. ......

Jesse starts to gain ground on the pack and gets close enough to see Meadowmufn and Hoss ahead of him. He gets excited that he might not finish last after all. But this is the Mooonshine 400. It's not like any other race in the world. Here it is possible to be an old man riding an old lady's Yamaha dirt bike that is normally used to deliver mail and win after a disastrous start. Jesse knew that and his confidence started growing. If a guy pulling a yacht could do this well, so could he. "Only in Hazzard!" he laughed to himself and twisted the throttle as far as it would go.

That's very sad. It's a big enough story to have made it to the front page of the BBC News website.

Living in Hazzard County, for me, would be a UTOPIA

Tara PRESTON played Cindy Lou in 'Deputy Dukes'.

"10-4 Thanks Skipper but the only tour I'm interested is the tour of the winner's circle with Emma planting a kiss on my cheek. But I don't really have much chance of winning now. I was stupid and trusted that tech junk when I should have known better. Maybe she will give me a sympathy kiss." In the meantime, Emma had given up on tech too after her computer blew up along with the one hooked to Jesse's dirt bike. Since there was no way she could use her remote control back up, she hopped on her other dirt bike and started down Iron Mountain, hoping to make it to the finish line before the race ended. She knew Jesse would need consoling after what he had been through.

Jesse got up to speed on the dirt bike but was way behind everybody. All he could see was a cloud of dust. He knew Hobie was somewhere up there, along with Skipper, Garrett, Hoss, Meadowmufn and everybody else but had he no idea who was in what place. All he knew was how embarrassed he was that he trusted technology. He had always taught the kids that simplicity is always the best policy and here he was, a full grown man who got taken in by the shiney new toy of technology. Now was his chance to prove to himself, Emma and the rest of Hazzard that races can be won on nothing but skill. And in his day, Jesse was the fastest motorcycle racer in North Georgia.

Skipper is coming up on everyone fast. He's determined to win this thing. If he wins, the prize money will help him buy his new boat MINNOW II. He holds his 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 steady as he gains ground on everyone else. "Hello Garrett, Jesse, Hobie" he yells as he passes them up.

CARTER One of the bad guys from 'Enos in Trouble'.

With newfound confidence Jesse passes Meadowmufn, who had stolen Rosco's sheriff's car and then Hoss. Hoss probably would be faster but his Formula 1 car is so low to the ground that it scrapes bottom a lot since the Hazzard roads aren't as smooth as F1 tracks. As he was passing him, Jesse thought to himself that Hoss would have a better chance next year if he installed a lift kit. A monster truck F1 car in the Moonshine 400 would be pretty cool. But there was nobody else in sight in front of him after those two passes. Where is Skipper, Garrett and Hobie he wondered. Hopefully they will be popping into view right after he straightened the next curve and flattened the next hill. The 2-stroke Yamaha was running in top form.

Wh Sepsis- a serious condition resulting from the presence of harmful microorganisms in the blood or other tissues and the body’s response to their presence, potentially leading to the malfunctioning of various organs, shock, and death. someone gets sepsis, it is a life-threatening condition caused by the body's extreme response to an infection. Symptoms may include fast breathing, fever, confusion, severe pain, and discolored skin. If not treated quickly, sepsis can lead to septic shock, organ failure, or death. Treatment for sepsis requires immediate hospitalization, where patients typically receive intravenous (IV) antibiotics and may need to be placed in the intensive care unit (ICU) for close monitoring and specialized care. Early treatment significantly improves the chances of survival.

I'm outta reactions. So ❤️.

Roger thanks. 😢😭💔

hazzard county is wilder than any ZOO i've ever seen

Shocking. Absolutely shocking.

Kyle Busch, two time Cup champ, dies at age 41 | NASCAR OK y'all...I'll be real honest here, but I have never been a Kyle Busch fan. But this really stinks and hurts. So hard to believe that he's gone. I've been in disbelief since I heard about his passing. Despite how I or anyone felt about him, he did have a personality that seemed like he'd be here forever. I know I saw a couple of weeks ago that he had called for medical assistance after the May 10th race. I read last night it was for sinus problems. Didn't think much of it until I saw of his passing yesterday. I really don't know what to say about all of this. Just that it's hard to believe and to accept. So sad for his family, fans, NASCAR...

Thanks Hoss! This inspired me to pull out my copy! So tomorrow, I'll go by Walmart, get myself some Hootch and then head to the bank and get money to run on until next week. Then later on, after all is said/done, I'll have a GREAT DOHD, watching Moon Runners and indulging, PLUS the wife doesn't have to be at work Sat. so I can sleep in! * They ain't like puppies Bobby Lee , they don't just follow you home! LOL! ....you guys remember?

The XXX on the Moonshine jug, was the number of times the shine had been run through the still to purify it, so it wouldn't be dangerous to drink. So.....3X.....XXX= three runs through the still! made it safe and it wouldn't blind you. XXX

cletus asked silly QUESTIONS

not really sure...seems like he raced really well 2-3 yrs. ago.

NEVER meanin' NO harm

Skipper checks his mirror. Spots Uncle Jesse back there coming up fast. He calls him on the CB. "Hey Uncle Jesse, if you win, I'll take you on a 3 hour tour to my island to see Gilligan and the rest of the gang.

This is it 100%. He had it open on valentines day and I drove my charger by there and hung out for awhile. Lots of good folks that I personally know came by. It's a really neat place

Hobie looked back at the commotion caused by Jesse and his buddy Elon and decided to be a good sport, so he just smiled and waved at them while he slowed up to wait for them!

Jesse had been looking forward to this for weeks, a chance to impress Emma and show her he can embrace technology. At first he had been pretty skeptical of all the tech on the Muskcycle but Elon and Emma had shown him the light....andd just before the starting gun he was more convinced than ever that the tech will come through and he would win easily and get that kiss. BANG the starting gun went off. Jesse twisted the throttle and let the clutch out, anticipating riding a wheelie the first 300 feet while running through the first 3 or 4 gears. The next thing you know there was a second loud bang. But it wasn't the starting gun going off again. It was Elon's computer that was hooked up to the engine of the dirt bike blowing up. Thankfully Jesse wasn't hurt but the dirt bike stalled out and never even crossed the start line. "Ding Dang! I should have know better that to trust this contraption!"

OK folks......the racers are starting their engines and the crowd is going wild......maybe from Jesse's Shine....?? ....anyway....Hobie is at the starting line with The Moonshine Mauler and he has a tankful AND a snoot full!! There no way cousin Roger, Hoss or anybody else is going to beat him! .... AND THEY"RE OFF!!! Hobie is throwing up mud and chunks of dirty with his knobby tires and is flying down the straightway of the starting line! I don't see anybody even CLOSE to me and I'm making good time, wth my Mauler !! This might be an easy win! I'm about to open my 3rd beer in a min. and crank up some Marshall Tucker on my stereo!

the race might only be one Hazzzard evening but we always stretch it out to a few evenings in HazzardNet time. Hazzard Time is the best time! We can start it now and it can be going for who knows how long? This is what makes Hazzard so great! Very few constraints! We can get by with stuff most people can't !!

Sounds good to me. The sooner it gets started the sooner Jesse wins and Emma rides down off Iron Mountain to give him that victory kiss and hug.

To quote a famous philosopher, "I love it, I love it, khee, khee!" -Sheriff RPC

Sweet! I'm definitely going back. Hopefully one of the big events will be a weekend I have nothing else going on.

I get e-mails from Cooter's and got a notice today that Pigeon Forge is closing. Nashville and Luray will remain open. Maybe Hoss can post a link.
