Rain delay in Kentucky - it'll probably start too late for me to see all of it
.When the race does start, there will be a competition caution at lap 30 to check tire wear. No re-fuelling will be allowed until then.

From the 'Everything Dukes of Hazzard Related Tribute Page' on facebook, picture from Cindy willis.
I've just checked out the Everything DUKES of Hazzard Related Tribute PAGE - Corey Eubanks is the lead admin for the page.
Cindy Wills was a new name to me, but it looks like she doubled for Cathy in some of the stunts (her IMDb page lists some other stunt work, but not Dukes). Her name appears among the 'Likes' under some of the posts.

It looks like most of the pre-race coverage of tomorrow's race in Kentucky has centered on Kyle Petty's comments about Danica Patrick. In an interview with SPEED, Petty said “I don’t have a problem with her being a marketing machine -- more power to her.â€, but he went on to say “ … Danica has been the perfect example of somebody who can qualify better than what she runs. She can go fast, but she can’t race. I think she’s come a long way, but she’s still not a race car driver. And I don’t think she’s ever going to be a race car driver.â€
You can see the original story here. Danica's response is here. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has come out in support of Danica - you can read his view here.

I think the commentator said that the top nine drivers broke the lap record. I tuned in just in time to see Ricky get third, but he got pushed down to 13th by the end. Garrett, can you ask Jeff to get out of Ricky's way at the start? - I don't want him being held up
.According to NASCAR.com, the race will be on TNT at 07:30 PM ET, but after last week it might be best to check your listings.

I believe it is Corey in the Luke shirt and Al Wyatt Jnr in the Bo shirt.
More great pics, Roth. I think this shot from 'Farewell, Hazzard' (that I originally posted in the Bloopers thread) shows Al Wyatt Jr behind the wheel as Bo.

Sorry to disappoint you Roger, but it ain't gonna happen this year. Because this year, is the CUBS year, all the way!
I may have said the same thing for the past twenty some years, but, you know, that is besides the point...one of these years I will be correct and it might as well as be this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cubs won't win until 2015 - did you learn nothing from 'Back to the Future Part II'?
-
The Chickasaw car must be from one of the later seasons as it doesn't have the fangs on the front.
Anyone knows the story behind this picture? It doesn't look like it was caused by stunt driving.
It immediately made me think of the stunt below from 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again'. It's clearly not the car from that stunt, but something similar could produce the damage seen above.

I heard this on the radio a couple of weeks ago for the first time in ages. I'm suprised it hasn't made it to this thread before:
Jackson - Johnny Cash & June Carter
One of the listeners suggested that Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood's version is better. I actually like both of them - see what y'all think:
-
Was it my imagination, or were there even more commercial breaks than usual today? I'd swear that several times they only showed two laps of racing between commercials.
Garrett, I'm sure you're happy with the result, but you forgot to mention DW jointly giving the command "Drivers, start your engines" and saying "Boogity, boogity, boogity! Let's go racin' boys and girls" - I bet you liked that bit too
. -
Contrary to Garrett's earlier insinuation, I don't have a lot of techno in my collection, but I'd hate to turn down a request
.I you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed NKOTB
Hey Boy Hey Girl - The Chemical Brothers
Don't forget to play it loud.
Superstar DJs - here we go!

Am sure it was probably a mistake on who ever does their website then...what ya know, I'm not the only one to make mistakes!
To borrow a quote from Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz that I posted recently in another thread:
"I never made a mistake in my life. I thought I did once, but I was wrong."

See Hoss, you got to have reliable information before posting...otherwise people will be disappointed when they turn it on and it is only TNT's pre race show. HA. I assume the 2:00 EST start included the pre race show...the three start time is the start of the race. Maybe? LOL
Next time I'll make sure I use NASCAR.com for my information as I can't rely on NASCAR.com
.For every other race this year I'm sure the times on the schedule has been the race start time. I'm pretty sure they usually agree with the front page.
-
I was just on NASCAR.com to check for last minute news and to open a Live Leaderboard window ready for the race when I got worried that I'd posted the wrong start time. Here's the front page I got:
And here's the schedule where I got my original information:
I thought I might have misread the time zone, but one clearly says 3 PM ET and the other 2 PM ET.

I think you're confusing my music taste with yours
.A Girl Like You - Edwyn Collins
And here's a clip of Edwyn on the 1995 Christmas special of the surreal UK panel show 'Shooting Stars':

Dang you too Hoss...I was just about to post this one. Beat me to it. LOLWell you could've posted this one
: -
It is interesting the different way they did it...did hear someone on Facebook or somewhere talk about group qualifying but didn't know what they meant by it.
Well, if you'd read my post from yesterday in Nascar News you'd know all about the new qualifying format
.On a sad note we lost another race car driver as Allan Simonsen when he wrecked early on in the Lemans 24 hour race (the accident happened in the first hour of the race). Simonsen was only 34. Another sad day in racing...RIP Simonsen!I saw that earlier, and it's very sad. He was only 10 minutes into the race and his Aston Martin hit the barrier hard on the driver's side. The rest of the team are carrying on at the request of Allan's family. It's the first death at Le Mans since 1997.

I don't normally get a chance to see the qualifying, but it worked out to be at a convenient time today, so I thought I'd check out the new format for road courses. In case y'all missed it in the Nascar News thread, the cars were split into groups of five or six based on practice times. Victor Gonzalez Jr hit the wall in the first group, bringing out a caution, and Martin Truex Jr had a small electrical fire causing a caution in his group. It didn't make much difference - nearly all the fastest times were set on the first lap, even though there was time for three or four.
As you can see, Jamie McMurray gets the pole. Jeff Gordon did well in his group, and was 4th for a while before slipping to 10th. I didn't see much of Ricky's lap, but he was slowest in his group and just slid down the table when the following groups went out. Fingers crossed that he can do something in the race, but it's more difficult to come from back there on a road course.
The complete starting lineup is:
1 Jamie McMurray
2 Marcos Ambrose
3 Carl Edwards
4 Greg Biffle
5 Clint Bowyer
6 Matt Kenseth
7 Kurt Busch
8 Joey Logano
9 Kyle Busch
10 Jeff Gordon
11 Tony Stewart
12 Kevin Harvick
13 Juan Pablo Montoya
14 Martin Truex Jr
15 Kasey Kahne
16 Paul Menard
17 Denny Hamlin
18 Brad Keselowski
19 Jimmie Johnson
20 Bobby Labonte
21 Casey Mears
22 Jacques Villeneuve
23 David Ragan
24 Boris Said
25 Ron Fellows
26 Dale Earnhardt Jr
27 Jeff Burton
28 David Stremme
29 David Gilliland
30 Ryan Newman
31 Danica Patrick
32 Aric Almirola
33 Travis Kvapil
35 Josh Wise
36 Justin Marks
37 Ricky Stenhouse Jr
38 David Reutimann
39 Alex Kennedy
40 Paulie Harraka
41 Tomy Drissi
42 Victor Gonzalez Jr
43 J.J. Yeley
The race is on tomorrow (Sunday) at 2.00 PM ET on TNT.

Boss Hogg said:I've spent the last 2 days reviewing this thread:)
HossC- Your work here has been phenomenal!
Thanks for your comments.
Y'all may remember this picture from post #81. It's the hospital that Uncle Jesse gets taken to in 'Witness: Jesse Duke'.
It looks like I was right about the clip being stock footage of a real hospital, because I think I've found it. Check out this view on Google Maps. It shows the east side of Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center. Using Historic Aerials, I've checked the location and found that the square white building with the helipad on the roof was just a car park back in 1980. Google Earth gives historical views back to 1989, and the white building was there by then. The height, roof and general design all look right to me - it's just a shame you can no longer get the view used in the show to confirm it.

You can see the qualifying groups here. Qualifying takes place at 2 PM ET today (Saturday).
I've just read that Jaques Villeneuve is taking part this weekend. I saw him interviewed at the Canadian GP two weeks ago, but he didn't mention it - the circuit in Montreal is named after his father. Danica still seems to have a grudge against him. I know he can be a controversial and outspoken figure at times (the British F1 reporters sometimes bump into him at races that he's covering for other broadcasters), but you don't get to be F1 World Champion and Indy 500 winner without being a good driver. You can see the story here:
Danica, Bowyer expect respect from Villeneuve
One of the commenters said "no one likes him because his name is hard to pronounce lol". His surname only has two syllables, the same as Patrick and Bowyer, so I can only conclude that the commenter is just ignorant.

I had planned to post 'When My Ship Comes In', a folk song by Clive Gregson & Christine Collister, but I couldn't find it. While I was searching YouTube I found this song with the same name, and gave it a listen to see if it was the same song. It wasn't, but I enjoyed it anyway, and although various Clint Black songs have been posted before, this one hasn't:
When My Ship Comes In - Clint Black

I have the Ertl but now I want the AutoWorld General Lee!
By the way, there's more info on this subject 5 sections down under "General Lee Diecast Question" beside "Dukes of Hazzard Collectibles and Memorabilia"
The AutoWorld General might not be perfect, but it's a lot better than the original ERTL release - go ahead, treat yourself
.I've just checked on Ebay, and while some sellers are asking up to $100, most are between $65 and $75.
The other thread you mention is General Lee Diecast Question, which duplicates some of the info from here. I did my best to list all the previous 1:18 releases (2000-2008) in this post.

I was just looking to see if the starting line-up for Sunday's race at Sonoma had been decided when I came across an article saying that NASCAR are changing the qualifying format for Sonoma and Watkins Glen (the two road courses) to give a better show for the fans. Instead of single-car qualifying, they'll be be doing group qualifying:
“Cars will be assigned to one of five or six groups based on practice speeds, slowest to fastest. Within those groups, cars will be separated fastest to slowest and released at intervals. Each group will have a window in which cars can complete their qualifying each likely receiving three laps at full speed. A car’s fastest lap will count and the field will be set based upon overall qualifying speeds. The process has been used previously for NASCAR Nationwide Series road course qualifications.â€
The full article I read is here.

This one looks like it's from the same photoshoot as the season 7 DVD cover.

Thanks for the pictures, Roth. I was tempted to get one of these, but I've got nowhere to put it. Besides, I already have the 'Bluesmobile' which uses the same 1974 Dodge Monaco mold. I thought they could've made the County Sheriff star more accurate, but overall it's an improvement on the old one.
