All Activity

The race is over, but it's 11pm here, so I'm off to bed. I'll write my report tomorrow when the highlights video is available. In the meantime, instead of the usual drivers' parade lap on the back of a truck, in Miami they drove round the circuit in full-size 2-seater Lego F1 cars. The drivers all seemed to enjoy it, so we may see it again. You can see today's Lego lap here.

Thanks, Spike. It's on at 9.00pm over here.

If any yanks are interested F1 is on at 4pm Eastern on ABC stations.

Kyle Larson was driving the #88 for Connor Zilisch in the Xfinity Series. Conner was injured in last week's Talladega race. Funnily enough, some of the F1 cars were looking different this week due to special paint schemes for Miami. Ferrari added blue and white to their traditional red for their HP sponsors, but fans didn't like it. Elsewhere, Racing Bulls went with eye-catching pink and Kick Sauber made their livery look like paint splats. In yesterday's F1 sprint race, Kimi Antonelli's first pole start didn't go well for him. Heavy rain in Miami caused a 28-minute delay before the event, and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc crashed on the way to the grid. At the start, Oscar Piastri got away well from second on the grid, and both McLarens got past Kimi at the first corner. As the track dried, the drivers started coming in for slick tires. At Max Verstappen's stop, he was released into Kimi's path. Kimi had to do another lap and Max got a 10-second penalty for an unsafe release. Just after that, a crash involving Fernando Alonso brought out the safety car. Lando Norris was exiting the pits and managed to take the lead from Oscar. Lewis Hamilton had swapped tires early, and had overtaken Max for third. The safety car peeled into the pits before the final corner, so the cars finished pretty much in line. That meant that although Max crossed the line in fourth, his penalty put him down to 17th and last of the cars still running. A few other cars also got late penalties, so Kimi eventually got 2 points for seventh. We ended up with three British drivers in the top four. You can see the highlights here. Places were switched a bit in qualifying for the main race. Max got pole ahead of Lando, with Kimi and Oscar in third and fourth. Lewis was eliminated in Q2 and starts twelfth. Qualifying highlights are here.

Oops Cousin Roger Duke. I mean Episode 15. Days of Shine and Roses is 14.

Season 7 Happy Birthday General Lee. Bo and Luke are in Cooter's truck hauling the old wrecked Black Charger from Capitol City Junkyard back to Cooter's Garage in Hazzard to turn it into the General Lee. They almost have a crash. They avoid the oncoming car. Luke:"That was close enough!" Bo:"We almost got sent to the pits, before we even started the race!"

I've just noticed, while watching the new DOH ( Burt Reynolds) .....the difference between Enos ( The original DOH) and Enos ( The 2005 movie) is one is a Dip Stick and the other is a Dip Sh%$ !!)

#88 ( can't remember his name) won today! His car is pretty but kind of goofy! ( Where were all the big names at today?)

the greenish light coming off Hazzard Swamp at night is eerie and INCANDESANT i

Right now I'm watching The DOH with Burt Reynolds.....it's ok but not the same.....ya know? ( I'm also imbibing some adult beverages....specifically Milwaukees' Best Ice)

Cousin Roger Duke... That's in Season 2 Episode 1 Gold Fever. Overall episode 14 of 147.

Cousin HossC... Yep the David Haney character. Credited in David Hofstede's book The Dukes of Hazzard The Unofficial Companion as David Haney (Scanlon as salesman).

Yes, James Cavan played both characters, although he was uncredited in 'Enos's Last Chance'. It was quite common for actors to return to Dukes as a different character (I counted over 60 occurrences), but this case was slightly unusual as the episodes were so close together. Another oddity in the casting of 'Enos's Last Chance' is that while it was about Scanlon, a master of disguise who could change identity, they used a different actor to play his salesman alter ego rather than just changing his makeup/wig.

I don't know what episode it is from but this reminds me of a scene where Bo is driving and Luke says in a panic "I can't look" and closes his eyes. Bo responds "Neither can I" and closes his too.

Good question Skipper. Looks like one for HazzardNet's artificial intelligence to answer.

HOMER HOTCHKISS

It's a weekend off for pro dirt bikes.

Congratulations to Kimi Antonelli who, at 18, has become the youngest driver to take an F1 pole. The rookie Mercedes driver has qualified to start at the front for today's sprint event in Miami. The McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris were very close behind, so it should be a tight race.

Hey y'all... Is the character Clem Boswell in the Season 6 episode Enos's Last Chance, played by James Cavan who was Artie Bender in the Season 6 episode Dead and Alive?

Hazzard county was supposedly in GEORGIA!

Arnold on Green Acres !

Season 7 Happy Birthday General Lee Luke:"There's Boss up ahead." Bo:"Yeah, an' he's almost at the finish line too. Come on General. We got a give it all we got. Don't fail us now." Luke:"I got an idea." Bo:"What?" Luke:"You think you could pull of that jumpin' trick again?" Bo:"Yeah. With my eyes closed." Luke:"Alright. Let 'er rip."

Season 5 Dukes Strike it Rich Coy:"Capitol City. I think we lost this one Vance." Vance:"No we didn't! There's Rosco."
