What a hysterical day that was.....and historical. Thanks so much for posting these. It' s so good to have PJ back here in Hazzard County. It sure doesn't seem like 40 years whenever I put a DVD in and hit play.

I turned it over once in awhile to see how things were going but didn't watch more than 10 minutes at a time.....just too much to do around the house. I still haven't had time to sit down for any length of time for a race yet. The season is young.

It is good to hear from you again PJ. It's always fun to dig up old threads. This place is so vast when it comes to old treasures that are just waiting to be excavated and revived. When I retire someday I'm going to spend a lot of time sorting through the thousands of boxes tucked away in the HazzardNet's attic and basement. Meadowmufn sure is a packrat. I'm glad all this stuff has been saved. It's like a museum of Hazzard County history.

Happy birthday on Friday Daisy. Hazzard County would have been pretty boring without you. Well, maybe not boring...just not nearly as exciting. We love you and hope you have a great birthday!

It's always sad to see another one fall even if he wasn't a big part of the show. 93...can't complain about that. Thanks for telling us.

Our power was out all day Sunday except a couple hours in the evening before it went out again. Those were some pretty strong gusts. 68 was the highest one recorded in Erie Pa yesterday.

You're not the only one who feels that way. I don't know much about it but my NASCAR friends are upset. One says he's going to quit watching but he says that all the time and still watches.

Well, it's the Dukes favorite NASCAR track so I hope that brings me luck.

Happy birthday on Thursday cousin. We'll lift a buttermilk at the Boar's Nest in your honor. We love you and miss you.

This hardly seems fair. What about MY feelings? If we had a better Commissioner the rules would be more fair and I'd be in first place and not last. I'm calling my lawyer.

Wow, it's hard to believe it's been that long!

Hey Garrett. Is fantasy NASCAR just like golf where the lowest score wins? Because if it is I have a huge lead in this thing.

It's not every day there is a reference to Dukes related stuff in a newspaper so I was surprised to see a picture of Cale Yarborough on the front page of the sports section of our local paper (Erie Pa) today. 40 years ago today NASCAR changed forever by going mainstream with the first ever race to be broadcast in its entirety on television. It was the 1979 Daytona 500 and since there was major blizzard up north a lot of folks we're sitting inside watching TV and got exposed to NASCAR for the first time. There were over 15 million viewers. Cale attempted to pass Donnie Allison on the last lap and a crash occured. At the time they were in first and second place. A muddy and bloody fight happened between Cale and Donnie's brother Bobby. The drama couldn't have been better for NASCAR since EVERYBODY was talking about it. That was the day NASCAR went from a southern sport to a national one.

Today is the 40th anniversary of the first time the Daytona 500 was ever broadcast on television in its entirety. Go down to the Cale Yarborough thread for more details.
