a BIG +1 !! ( It's getting to where I'm afraid to get my Moonshine Machine out of the garage!)

Just Good ol' Boys!

According to my list, the Celebrity Speed Trap victims were: The Oak Ridge Boys who sang "Old Time Lovin'" in 'Granny Annie' Tammy Wynette who sang "Rocky Top" in 'The Hazzardville Horror' Hoyt Axton who sang "Speed-Trap" in 'Good Neighbors, Duke' The Oak Ridge Boys who sang "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight" in 'State of the County' Dottie West who sang "Even if you Were Jesse James" in 'By-Line, Daisy Duke' Freddy Fender who sang "Jambalaya" in 'Bye, Bye Boss' Roy Orbison who sang "Pretty Woman" in 'The Great Hazzard Hijack' Donna Fargo who sang "Lonestar Cowboy" in 'Double Dukes' Johnny Paycheck who sang "Take This Job and Shove It" in 'The Fugitive' Buck Owens who sang "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" in 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again' Mickey Gilley who sang "Don't The Girls Get Prettier At Closing Time" in 'The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style' Mel Tillis who sang "Stay A Little Longer" in 'The Hazzardgate Tape' NB. Although the format was used in season 2, it wasn't until Dottie West was caught in season 3 that the 'Celebrity Speed Trap' name was used.

Staring at the bumper of the sheriff's car that lies a mile or so ahead of them, Garrett quietly tries to think of what they are doing by following the sheriff. How are they to follow him without being caught? Especially in Roy's old beat up ugly truck. What will they do when they find out where Sheriff Coltrane is going? "Dang it Roy," Garrett breaks through the silence of the truck, "this is the dumbest idea you've ever had. I mean, what made you think of following the sheriff? What you gonna do when he stops?" Roy look crazily over at Garrett before looking back at the road. "The dumbest idea I've had? What was I thinking?" Roy raises his voice, "My golden memory recalls all this being your bright idea, hotshot. The only dumb thing I did, was to listen to you and to do as you told me to do." "I know, I know," Garrett rolls his hard eyes at him, "it just sounds better saying it was your idea. Not mine." Garrett goes silent as he lights another cigarette, "What are we going to do when we find out where the sheriff is going? How are we going to find Bill and Ernie?" Roy shrugs behind the wheel as he waves his hand to wave off smoke. "I don't know. You tell me, boy genius. It all was your idea," he states, "though I do know, that I told you not to light those dumb things in my truck. They're horrible." Garrett eyes him hardly before sucking it on it once again before smashing it out and taking care of it. "I didn't realize you were so sensitive," Garrett rudely responds before falling silent once more. "Well...it is my truck," Roy disputes, "and I am doing you a huge favor by rescuing you from your hiding place and following your bright idea to stalk the sheriff. I guess I always did look good in jail house orange." Garrett shakes his head before his attention is grabbed by the sheriff turning off the road and onto a lesser-known back road and he quickly sits up in his seat. "OK now we are getting somewhere, Roy!" he points at Rosco, "That there road leads to a dead end and to those caves. I think I heard your buddies talk about that being Hogg's hiding place!" "Ah! Maybe that's where Bill and Ernie are at!" Roy naively states. "Ernie and Bill disappeared with Bo and Luke," Garrett states, "why would they take him to Hogg's hiding place?" he shakes his head. "I don't know. I don't know anything at this point," Roy answers. "What you want me to do now?" "We can't follow him. We'd be made for sure," Garrett responds, "Just keep going. They're probably going to have some pow wow of what they want to do now that they can't find Bill and Ernie." "Hmmm. Too bad we can't listen in to that conversation," Roy states before going quiet and turns to Garrett, "you'd earn top respect from your brother for that kind of information." Garrett stares at him. "I don't care for his respect or anyone's. I've already spent a night in jail over all of this. No way am I spying in on their crooked law...who already hate me enough as it is," Garrett states, "but we do know where they are at for the moment. Maybe they'd care to know that." "But how you plan on doing that? In case you forgot," Roy pauses, "your family kidnapped Bill and Ernie and are no where to be found. You'd think they'd let you in on their surprise of not showing up at the Boar's Nest as it was planned." Garrett grunts. "They don't care," he states watching the trees go by his window, "I am sure they are hiding at one of their hiding places and talking about their own plans to get Bill and Ernie out of this mess." Roy nods quietly before leaning over and grabbing the CB handle from the dash of his truck. "What are you doing?" Garrett questions. "What we should have done from the get-go instead of listening to you," Roy rolls his eyes at Garrett and switches the channel and then pushing the button on the side of the black CB handle, Roy says, "This is Roy Silas. Anyone out there on the Duke net?" Garrett eyes him as he places the handle down and Roy grins at him. "Now we wait," Roy responds as he turns onto another road and Garrett looks out his window and they await to see if they get a reply in silence.

(LOL you caught that fast. I edited it quick. I was thinking I was on word association and Willy is a whale)

Not long after Jesse sat on the log Bo sat on the General's hood. The other three stood. Bill was visibly shaken. "Now, I appreciate you boys explaining that everybody in Hazzard knows Boss is a crook and nobody will take these charges seriously." The 3 Dukes nodded and Jesse muttered "Yep". After a pause Bill continued. "But things are different out in the big 'ol world. Most law enforcement agencies have good folks running them so naturally whenever someone is arrested people draw assumptions." Bo chimed in, "Well Mr. Elliott, folks is presumed innocent until proven guilty. That there is a genuine US of A right." It was Luke's turn. "You're right about that Bo but that doesn't always match reality. Here everybody knows that most folks who Rosco arrests were set up by Boss Hogg and are most likely innocent. But in places where the law is respectable, most folks assume a person doesn't get arrested unless they deserve it." Ernie added, "Including the press. I can just hear them now, all shocked that Bill Elliott is a two bit thief." Bill looked real nervous now. "Just the very accusation could end my career. Even if it comes out later it was a set up. There's folks out there who just never forget things.....even if they should. I know what will happen. They will claim I'm guilty but bought my way out of it." Jesse tried to reassure him. "I wouldn't worry quite yet. If Boss is trying to shake you down for money he'll want to keep this as low key as possible. It can still be contained. We just have to turn this ship around."

nedra VOLZ (sets my heart on fast idle)

no other car could beat the General UNLESS it had a head start!

I heard that tires were an issue at Bristol. Which is frustrating for everyone and it affects the driver's season and points. As someone pointed out that I saw...what if this were a Chase race or an elimination race and it all came down to tires? I really miss the old way of racing where it was about talent and the drivers and teams. I feel NASCAR has to put it's hands on everything now to take away from the driving and the mechanics...the Chase and the segments for example. Let it be about the racing as it use to be...
