But wait, Roger bumped into Skipper and they both spun out. They recovered quickly though. So now, Garrett has the lead, Hobie is in second, Skipper third, Roger fourth and Emma fifth.
I only had NBC my entire childhood so missed a lot of shows. When I was 19 and Dukes came out I would go to my grandparents to watch it. They could afford a nicer antenna and really tall pole for it.
Things really going downhill from here. Even Skipper has passed Roger. Looking like a fourth place finish.
But wait! In the excitement of the competition Roger forgot about the back up nitrous oxide Cooter installed for moments just like this. He hits the toggle switch to turn the primary system off and hits another switch to turn the secondary system on. Once again g-forces push him back.
He passes Skipper and is on the move...back into third place. A quick glance in the mirror shows Emma Tisdale closing in on Skipper. The front wheel of her dirt bike has been off the ground the last several miles. But she is starting to run low on nitrous oxide.
And then something went wrong with Roger's truck. The nitrous oxide system failed. Little did Roger know that the tank sprung a leak. That would explain why he had been laughing hysterically the whole race. But the good news is that the front wheels returned to the ground and Roger regained control of the steering. The bad news is that Garrett started pulling ahead. At this point it looked like Roger might finish third. But this is Hazzard. The race ain't over.
Very nice! I'm so Happy Ray Kohn is still at it. He hasn't done too much around here though and I don't really like to travel. I miss going to his shows.
The races are so long and there is always so much to do I usually only watch highlights. Depending on what I am doing I usually keep an eye on sporting events on TV and just watch the end of them live. Except for pro dirt bikes. Can't get enough of those. I'd love to see Miz Tisdale race those guys. She'd make them look like snails with racing decals.
While Garrett and Hobie are fighting it out, nobody is even paying attention to Roger in his souped up white F-150. He's been saving up his nitrous oxide for this moment.
He flips the toggle switch and his back gets pushed hard into the seat. The same happens to his head. But something goes wrong. It's too much power. The front wheels are lifted off the road. This might not end well for Roger.
