This is something I may have mentioned before, not sure but we've got some newer people in here since then ( More citizens of Hazzard! ) and I thought I would mention it. There was Huey Hogg and then his older brother Dewy Hogg.....we're missing one that never was shown....Louie! They should have had a show with him in it! They HAD to be named after the 3 nephews of Scrooge McDuck! That's a cartoon and Scrooge McDuck's 3 nephews are 1. Huey 2. Dewy 3. Louie.

That would be great Skipper! Give it a shot!

2 Nice articles Billie Rae Bates did about me and my Gilligan's Island item collection. https://brbtv.blogspot.com/2020/02/check-out-these-gilligan-goods.html https://brbtv.blogspot.com/2021/04/congrats-to-bobby-for-finally-snagging.html

Hey James! It's good to see you! Welcome! You'll like it in here!

It sucked when Bo and Luke left in 1982

Well, unfortunately I'm totally ditching the engine....finally the evidence was overwhelming that I needed to go with the smaller-block engine, finished in blue. So I purchased the engine parts from the AMT Duster. Starting over. In the meantime, here's what happened with the interior. Two modifications to be made: the steering wheel and the air vents. In one episode (Gold Fever S2E2) the instrument panel is visible, showing the dashboard to be the style with two air conditioning vents. I discovered this after I'd started painting, so, strip the paint, add the parts and start

Cousin Roger... The Skipper can try to get her here.

Thanks. I don't mean to brag but I just made it up right after I saw your post. I hereby give you my full permission to all rights to use it in any way you want and make money doing so. Amen.

THIS.....needs to be on a T shirt!!

You'd have to be dumber than a hick to think hicks are dumb.

I can see why they'd want an exciting finish, but the way you describe it, it sounds more like manipulating the result. The main controversy at this week's F1 was varying enforcement of the track limit rules. Due to travel restrictions, some races are taking place at circuits which aren't usually on the F1 calendar. Especially on circuits where they host motorcycle racing, the outside of corners are paved for safety rather than being gravel or grass. To prevent the drivers from gaining an unfair advantage by taking a wide line on corners, at least one wheel must remain within the white li

They probably thought, " Ah....bunch of dumb hicks....they'll never notice!" Well....fooled you didn't we mr. producer/writer!!

WOW! Thanks a lot! I NEVER noticed this! This is awesome!!

Found a great one while researching Daisy's Plymouth. From that car's final chase leading up to its destruction at Kissing Cliff, they recycled the same shot but reversed it. I first noticed it by noticing the same body damage (rear fender above the wheel) on both sides. When I slowed it down frame-by-frame, I was shocked to see it was the EXACT SAME FOOTAGE but reversed...and that I'd never had a clue! First time we see it is the reversed footage. You can see on the supposed driver's side what is Luke's arm casually on the window ledge, gripping the roof...on what is actu

One more for today. For the filming, all identification logos/scripts on the vehicles were removed (i.e. all the "Charger" logos, the "FORD" from above the grill and tailgate on Jesse's truck, "PLYMOUTH" and "DODGE" from the Sheriff cars, etc). Most of this is easy for Daisy's Plymouth, except for the grill and in front of the hood. We'll deal with the grill later. For the removed emblem in front of the hood, there is a recessed area that was left untouched once the emblems were removed, and then painted over. I tried removing the bit inside the recessed cir

Take away the number you first thought of, and the winner is...

Which would have been appropriate since Boss is such a Scrooge.

Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton who achieved his 100th F1 pole position today. To put that in perspective, the only other driver with seven world championships, Michael Schumacher, only reached 68, and Ayrton Senna only had 65.

Okay, on to my next project: Daisy's Plymouth! I much prefer the look of the SECOND car used, the one that went over the cliff (actually I prefer how it looked BEFORE, but nevermind). It just looks sleeker to me, plus it was used in more episodes (14 vs 9). First, let's dispel some rumors and falsehoods: -Rumor # 1: Daisy's second car was a Plymouth Roadrunner, either '71 or '72 depending on where you read. -The Truth #1: Apparently it was probably a '71 Plymouth Satellite Sebring with some '71 GTX features including a non-Sebring hood. Therefore, it shall hencefort

WOW!! That's a great job! I'm totally impressed! ( come by the car lot and I'll give you a little of my finest and we can look at all the red cars I have on my lot! )

This was the first pic I saw of this and I didn't see the front part.....I was just glancing through it. I thought this was an actual overhead shot of a REAL one!!

luxury off roading? What's wrong with this concept? Think about it. Off roading, " Roughing" it, etc.......luxury? " Well, I want to get down and dirty but I don't want to get TOO dirty........I don't want to get " Too" " Down" either!..........HUH???? You either are or you are NOT!! YOU CAN'T BE BOTH!!

Good luck.. I wonder if she has ever been here before.

She is awesome. I wish we could get her here on HN.

Here's the Gen 7 Cup cars https://www.jayski.com/2021/05/05/manufacturers-unveil-nascar-next-gen-cars/ Unfortunately with this there will ultimately be layoffs following the final race of this season as teams will not need chassis or body fabricators as well as other jobs that will now be handled suppliers https://m.nascar.com/news-media/2021/05/05/vendors-parts-suppliers-list-next-gen-car/ Wonder how long it will be before they move to a single engine manufacturer like they did in the truck series.

BRB(Billie Rae Bates) classified herself as "a geeky nerdy girl!" Wow!

So far, the only comment in that story is: "TALK ABOUT FIXING A RACE LOOK NO FARTHER THAN SUNDAY THEY TRIED BOY DID THEY TRY"

Nascar's explanation https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/05/03/elton-sawyer-chris-buescher-tyler-reddick-nascar-explains-delay-on-caution-for-errant-tire/ love this line "We don’t want to get in the middle of that as the league."

I have a vague memory that Margaret Thatcher opened my junior school while she was Education Secretary (it was a few years before I went there, but there was a picture on the wall). It was soon after this that she acquired the nickname "Margaret Thatcher, Milk Snatcher" because she abolished the free milk which schoolchildren used to receive in the '70s. The satirical puppet show 'Spitting Image' overlapped the latter half of her time as Prime Minister, and showed how they thought she viewed her cabinet with this famous sketch:

Nascar Officials once again created controversy with cautions in both the Truck and Cup series races. In the truck race they seemed to randomly call a caution for spinning trucks one time but not other times. In the Cup series with 30 laps to go it was for a tire that was neither on the pit lane or anywhere near the track. Even Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer and Mike Joy said there was no need for the caution just before the yellow flag was thrown. Surprise surprise Kyle Busch won the Buschy McBusch 400 race after Nascar's BS tire caution caused multiple wrecks and cautions. Kyle Larson domin

Cousin Roger yep!

Great stuff Skipper!

Under expert automotive guidance from the good folks at Modelcarsmag.com forums, I procured a Revell '71 Plymouth GTX as the base kit, and ordered the correct hood from Harts Parts resins. I decided to make this a fully detailed build rather than the "curbside" closed-hood builds I've done for much of my Dukes of Hazzard fleet. It will feature a fully super-detailed engine bay, similar to what I did with The General.

It's as clear as mud.

That's funny Hoss but folks in Hazzard County don't really care about golf so go ahead and enjoy the win. LOL Now, if there was a race that gave out a Rider Cup we might be interested. (or a Driver Cup would be even better) Poor Garrett. I turned the football thread into a baseball thread and now the NASCAR thread has become a golf thread.

Thanks for the update GARRETT. I see your fave did pretty well. Okay, I apologize for being grumpy but my Pirates and Steelers are to blame. In an odd way to say I'm sorry....let me just post this..... Congratulations to your BEARS for winnning. My steelers lost. Okay, now back to NASCAR.......

Once again, to me, no race is boring. Any race is a good race...but today's race lacked any real excitement to write home about. Pre Race show was all about Denny Hamlin who started 28th and well, he delivered for 'em.. He led the most laps and came home the victory at Loudon, NH. . .Hamlin ran out of gas at the end of the race at Chicagoland and had wrote on his Twitter account that he'd win at Loudon...once again, he answered his call. Kyle Busch did lead some laps and was strong until his engine started having problems and he went back pretty fast. Here is the top ten finishes of today's r

Well this upcoming race for the Sprint Cup is Saturday night is at 7:30 on ABC...and is is a big one. It is the last race until the chase starts...the last ten races. And eight drivers are chasing to get into the chase's twelve car field. Drivers like: Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Ryan Newman, Kyle Busch, Kasey Kahne, Paul Menard, Marcos Ambrose, and Joey Logano. Though just read an article that said that in reality the wild card chase (the last two spots of the twelve car roster) is really between Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch. Kasey Kahne is the only one with two wins (at this moment) as the rest

Sorry to disappoint you Roger...if you know where I can apply, I'd be more than excited to apply. That has got to be the best job...either that or the person who drops the flags...

I sure hope they don't start random drug testing for members of the HazzardNet. I'm not sure what Brian spiked the egg nog with at our last Christmas party but I think it's still in my system.

And I root for the Cubs because I like you so much. But when they play the Pirates you're my biggest enemy. Grrrrrrr!

LOL You're a Cubs fan and I'm a Pirates fan so we both know the value of having an alternate team that we like BUT that doesn't mean we like them more and doesn't mean we'd root for them if they were facing our favorite team. After all these years of a bitter, hateful sports rivalry here on the HazzardNet it's nice to know we finally found common ground and both have JJ as our second favorite driver. If you're really interested in ending this insanity of our constant ugly feuding I suggest that you immediately abandon Jeff Gordon as your favorite and make David Ragen your #1 driver. If you d

*Shakes hand* Well Roger, I do believe you need to get your eyes checked and your ears checked as well. His name is NOT Gordon Jeff. It is Jeff Gordon and he will finish better than David Ragen this weekend.

Well the Darlington race has just ended and JIMMIE JOHNSON has just won teamowner, Rick Hendrick, his 200th win! But boy that was a nerve wrecking finish with the caution that was brought out with Kurt Busch hitting the wall and taking Ryan Newman with him. Though I am kinda jumping ahead in this... Darlington has earned several stripes today as drivers bounced off the wall all night. Starting with Jeff Gordon. Another hard race for Jeff Gordon. He was in the top ten when his tire got cut, he got it fixed and five laps later it went flat again. He took it to the garage for 28 laps...and finis

I did. It's a shame Jeff Gordon didn't though - I think a win was the birthday present Garrett was looking for .

They are racing at Fontana California tomorrow at 2:30 EST on FOX...that is if it doesn't RAIN...rain is in the forecast, at least it was yesterday .... got a link to it on Facebook. Am really hoping for it NOT to rain...as always. And despite what I said earlier, will be able to watch it since my plans got postponed... Anyway, qualifying was last night...am not too happy since Gordon qualified 21st. Don't know why he is having so much bad luck lately...one would wonder if he was related to the Dukes or something. HA HA. Guess it is better for him to start there and not finish there...so am h

Well I got some good news to share with y'all...well I hope at least. Could change... But the Daytona 500 has been delayed and rescheduled (again due to weather) to 7:02 PM EST on FOX...6:02 my time central time...in eighteen minutes!!!!! NO MORE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY COME BACK ANOTHER DAY!!!!!!!!! NO MORE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Pre-race show is on NOW on FOX...anyone else excited? Am hoping for a fun and safe race today and to see all four Hendrick boys in the top ten today...with JEFF GORDON coming home number 1. That is if it doesn't rain...RAIN RAIN GO AWAY COME BACK ANOTHER DAY! Am hoping the sun will start to shine on Daytona and on the drivers!!!!!!

Well NASCAR.com has finally put up the final lineup for the Daytona 500...the top two positions were locked in with the qualifying runs on last Sunday. While the rest of the field was placed as to where they finished today. Carl Edwards won the pole and Biffle got second place from qualifying... HERE IS THE TOP TEN STARTING POSITIONS FOR SUNDAY: 1. Carl Edwards 2. Greg Biffle 3. Tony Stewart 4. Matt Kenseth 5. Dale Earnhardt Jr 6. Regen Smith 7. Marcos Ambrose 8. Jimmie Johnson 9. Jeff Burton 10. Elliot Sadler Well I for one liked the qualifying run line up better since Gordon qualified sixth

The lady in black? I didn't know Abraham Lincoln Hogg was married. Do you like night races Garrett? How many do they have a year? HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARRETT DUKE!!!!!!!! Go Jeff Gordon!!!!!!!!!! (I don't really want him to win, I'm just saying that as my way of giving you a birthday present since I'm too cheap to buy you anything)
