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!

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.

Hey Garrett! It's good to see you bud! Hey, just remember OUR race, the Moonshine 400! Remember last year? You were the winner! This year you will need to defend your championship! I plan on giving The Moonshine Mauler an extra .....uh special tune up.....just to make sure you don't rough me up right at the last, like you did last year! LOL! Not only will you need to guard against me but cousin Roger and his unequaled skill, of driving with only one hand......while chugging Buttermilk straight from the carton!! LOL!

MOONSHINE 400!! Hey guys! The 2nd Annual Moonshine 400 snuck up on us! ( on me?? ) We're now in the 1st week of may....( 5/4/25 was the 1st annual !!) and so I figure instead of having it tomorrow on the second, we could spend this week preparing for it and all the things we need to do, watch out for etc. and then NEXT Sat, on May 9th, we can have the official 2nd Annual Moonshine 400! Then we can all meet at the Boar's Nest and congratulate the winner and console the losers....with my special " Back 40 Moon" and cousin Roger's Boar's Nest Buttermilk!

well cousin, we hope you're having fun, wherever you are on the holiday! Fun is what it's all about on Dukes Of Hazzard Day! If you get back anytime soon, stop in and say " HEY! " We'll all be down at the Boar's Nest doing what you imagine we'd be doing!!

This is why Daytona and Talladega isn't a favorite to me. It's all about the big one and all the accidents. I am glad no one got hurt in the accidents, though.

You mean this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ2cUWuHzcM

That was a Crash party!
