Hobie Hartkins reacted to HossC in NASCAR news
I didn't get to see any of the action, but it sounds a mess. I'll have to read up on what they were trying to achieve.
F1 wanted to increase the number of sprint race qualifying events from three to six this year, saying that they increased audience figures and income, but several teams wanted the budget cap increased before agreeing, so they'll probably only be three again this year. I can't say that I was a huge fan of them.
There's only just over a month to the start of the 2022 F1 season, and I'm not feeling any of the usual excitement and anticipation this year. I should've been looking forward to seeing a great fight between two Britons at Mercedes: 8-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton and very talented youngster George Russell, but Hamilton was denied his 8th title in the debacle at the last race of 2021 in Abu Dhabi (see my previous posts), and he hasn't even decided if he's racing this year. After following the sport since the mid-80s, I may have to find something else to watch.
You reminded me of this proverb which I came across last week. I've no idea if it's genuine, but from the context, I think it was directed at the British PM:
"When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus."
Disclaimer: I'm aware that we don't discuss politics here. I gave the context for reference, but did not include my opinion!

That's no secret around here. MM is loved and respected around here as much as the stars of the show are.

I have no idea who these people are that you are talking about....and I don't want to know. They sound like a bunch of humans that make a lot of mistakes. Now, as for the folks of Hazzard County, they couldn't be more awesome.

That's one of the reasons Carnival of Thrills is one of, if not my very least favorite!

Thanks, Roger, you've inadvertently given me an earworm. Why? Snow's debut album in 1993 was called "12 Inches of Snow".

Due to my home internet provider being slow to update its website address list, I only realized that HazzardNet was back online when I checked it on my phone (my computer was still showing the "Currently undergoing maintenance" screen). Everything's back to normal now, and MM's given me a workaround if it happens again - thanks, MM.

Cousin Hobie Hartkins... I agree with Cousin Roger Duke... Don't like when the boys fight. It makes me sad.

I think Tom Wopat is fairly much an asshole hiimself, from the best I can figure, though he does seem to have more sense than John, Jimmy and the rest. Even with being an alcoholic and a druggie, he STILL has $6 million....more than any of the rest! John Schneider is stupid with money. Even I have more money than he does!

Welcome to HazzardNet.
I don't think I've ever seen a Dukes pedal car in real life (I'm not sure if they were sold here), so I had a quick look on Ebay. There seem to be two very different types:
First, there's a very basic steel one, apparently from 1979. It appears to be red rather than orange, and has a flag with too many stars on the hood. Rather than "General Lee", it says "Rebel" beside the flag, and bizarrely has "10" on the doors. The two current sellers are asking $149 and $450 respectively.
The second is a plastic one made by Coleco, which is apparently from 1982. This one is definitely orange, has "General Lee" on the front fenders, "01" on the doors and a flag on the trunk. Believe it or not, sellers are asking for between $1,800 and $5,000 for these.
