Jesse got up to speed on the dirt bike but was way behind everybody. All he could see was a cloud of dust. He knew Hobie was somewhere up there, along with Skipper, Garrett, Hoss, Meadowmufn and everybody else but had he no idea who was in what place. All he knew was how embarrassed he was that he trusted technology. He had always taught the kids that simplicity is always the best policy and here he was, a full grown man who got taken in by the shiney new toy of technology. Now was his chance to prove to himself, Emma and the rest of Hazzard that races can be won on nothing but skill. And in his day, Jesse was the fastest motorcycle racer in North Georgia.

Hobie looked back at the commotion caused by Jesse and his buddy Elon and decided to be a good sport, so he just smiled and waved at them while he slowed up to wait for them!

Jesse had been looking forward to this for weeks, a chance to impress Emma and show her he can embrace technology. At first he had been pretty skeptical of all the tech on the Muskcycle but Elon and Emma had shown him the light....andd just before the starting gun he was more convinced than ever that the tech will come through and he would win easily and get that kiss. BANG the starting gun went off. Jesse twisted the throttle and let the clutch out, anticipating riding a wheelie the first 300 feet while running through the first 3 or 4 gears. The next thing you know there was a second loud bang. But it wasn't the starting gun going off again. It was Elon's computer that was hooked up to the engine of the dirt bike blowing up. Thankfully Jesse wasn't hurt but the dirt bike stalled out and never even crossed the start line. "Ding Dang! I should have know better that to trust this contraption!"

OK folks......the racers are starting their engines and the crowd is going wild......maybe from Jesse's Shine....?? ....anyway....Hobie is at the starting line with The Moonshine Mauler and he has a tankful AND a snoot full!! There no way cousin Roger, Hoss or anybody else is going to beat him! .... AND THEY"RE OFF!!! Hobie is throwing up mud and chunks of dirty with his knobby tires and is flying down the straightway of the starting line! I don't see anybody even CLOSE to me and I'm making good time, wth my Mauler !! This might be an easy win! I'm about to open my 3rd beer in a min. and crank up some Marshall Tucker on my stereo!

the race might only be one Hazzzard evening but we always stretch it out to a few evenings in HazzardNet time. Hazzard Time is the best time! We can start it now and it can be going for who knows how long? This is what makes Hazzard so great! Very few constraints! We can get by with stuff most people can't !!

Sounds good to me. The sooner it gets started the sooner Jesse wins and Emma rides down off Iron Mountain to give him that victory kiss and hug.
