Hobie Hartkins

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.

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

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.

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?

Tara PRESTON played Cindy Lou in 'Deputy Dukes'.

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

"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. 

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!

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 !!

I think I know exactly what you are talking about. https://fb.watch/H1W-gBwOaI/? Hopefully this link works it’s a full 25 minute tour. If anyone wants to check it out on google maps or anything the address is publicly posted as “1181 Morrison Campground Rd, Kingston, GA 30145” they were open in February but I’m not sure how often. Here are some pictures from Facebook

It's great to see folks keeping Hazzard going. 

I caught up with everybody as soon as I saw you were going to be ok.  I think your woman may have been guilty of nipping  at the Hooch I keep on Pit Road! LOL!  I'm way out in the boon docks now and I'm passing most everybody! I might have  to make a pit stop and put some of Jesse's Finest in my tank! I think I saw Burl Toliver out on his place, doing some fencing......I thought he was going to be in this race! 

Jesse noticed Hobie slowing down and was insulted.
"I don't need no charity! I was the dang fool who trusted all this tech garbage!"
He looked up on top of Iron Mountain and noticed a puff of smoke. Emma's computer must have blown up too. Lucky for Jesse, the heat from the explosion melted the plastic fasteners and the charred computer fell off. 
"Good! It's just me and the motorcycle. Just like the old days with me and my '38 Silver Streak. Now it's time to catch back up. Looks like Skipper is way ahead now that Hobie slowed down" 

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!

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

I agree with you 100 percent Hoss. Daisy and Emma are natural beauties....even though the red bikini picture of Emma didn't sell as well as the red bikini picture of Daisy I still liked them equally. Both way hotter than silicone additives. 

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!"
