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

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 rd. 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 slck....I lack to never found my way off the track last week while I was practicing!!

It looks like the last one was 2022.

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.

divorce

That's sad.

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

separation ( which is what death is....he's dead, one day you will die, death does not scare me......they ALL mean separation......the body from the spirit )

I see Smokey and the Bandit tribute artist characters at The Dukes of Hazzard event Bo's Extravaganza, and of course The Dukes of Hazzard tribute artist characters too. Would it be ok if I ever attend Bo's Extravaganza in my Alan Hale Gilligan's Island Skipper outfit?

death (the kiss of death)

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!

Kiss

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!

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

Did the Titanic doom itself? I think so! Three critical mistakes might have sealed its fate: Turning starboard towards the iceberg instead of port to avoid it Reversing engines, which reduced momentum and maneuverability Excessive speed creating a wake that drifted the ship into the iceberg What do you think? Could these mistakes have been avoided? Share your thoughts!

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.

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.

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!

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.

On March 17, 2026 I scored Clive Cussler's Raise the Titanic! at my local B&N (Barnes & Noble) for $10.99 + tax. Wasn't expecting to find it on the shelf, and got a surprise - it's in Mystery Thrillers, not Fiction! 😄 Guess it's a win-win! #RaiseTheTitanic #CliveCussler I have finished reading it now for the first time. Anyone else ever read it?

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.
