I've got a question for ya'll, and maybe it's already been answered in a thread and evades my memory. But has anyone figured out the location of the racetrack used in a couple of Dukes eps? I think the same track was used in "Hazzard Connection" and "Carnival of Thrills". I believe it was also used in a Knight Rider episode called "Slammin' Sammie's Stunt Show Spectacular."
I don't know about the Knight Rider location, but the racetrack used several times in Dukes was Saugus Speedway on Soledad Canyon Road in Santa Clarita, CA. I did mention it in passing in the Hazzard Square thread, but it's easy to miss - the post is here, and includes a link for Google Maps. From the research I did at the time I believe it's now used for swap meets.

(This was the only album version of this song I could find. I like the penguins tho'. Khee!)
It's very hard finding good studio versions of Supertramp on YouTube - I also like the penguins

Here's one from an Irish band - I don't how well known they are in others parts of the world.

I can do you the Dukes screengrabs if you tell me what you want, but you'll have to wait until next Monday as I'm away from my DVDs.

According to my trusty notebook Luke's knife isn't a Buck. It's a Barlow. He's a country boy so I'm sure he has more than one...LOL
Barlow's website is here if anyone finds a decent picture and needs to make comparisons.
-
I know their knives get used quite a bit, but the first scene I remembered was Luke digging out Daisy's bullets from behind the target in 'Officer Daisy Duke'. The screengrab below is the best I could get - I didn't get to see the handle. If you look at the inset picture (where I've tweaked the levels a bit), it appears that the knife is made by Buck. Looking at their website the closest current product I could find is a model called 'Ranger' - check it out here.
I'm going to be away from my DVDs for a few days, so won't be able to look for any more until the start of next week. Maybe someone else will post pics in the meantime.

There's a couple more locations that CDoherty brought up which I forgot weren't part of the Hazzard Square thread, so you may have missed them:
This one covers locations used in 'Comrade Duke' (and other episodes), most notably the airfield (now a plowed field) and a familiar stretch of tarmac called Pico Canyon Road. Both are quite near the Indian Dunes (Styx River jump etc.) that you mentioned. The airfield location is visible from Henry Mayo Drive, but Pico Canyon Road is part of the Newhall Ranch so I doubt if it's open to the public.
This one has the location of the fight at the end of 'Welcome Back Bo and Luke' and also covers the railroad jump in 'Grannie Annie'. Both are in Oxnard, which may be a bit out of your way.
Both threads have Google Maps links to the locations discussed.
Lastly, I barely mentioned Piru in the Hazzard Square thread (it was only going to be about the WB back lots when I started it
). It's only a few miles west of the Indian Dunes. The race in 'Luke's Love Story' goes through Piru, and many of the locations are virtually unchanged. Piru also appears in 'Officer Daisy Duke'. The bridge at the east end of the town featured in a couple of episodes and, although bypassed with a new bridge, is still standing (as far as I know). Head a couple of miles north on Piru Canyon Road and you'll reach Lake Piru. A couple of episodes were filmed here including 'The Great Insurance Fraud' where Coy thinks he's caused conman Ward's death when his car goes into the lake.
Looks like I may have to add a couple of posts about Piru to the Hazzard Square thread, but I doubt if I'll have time before your road trip.

Sure it would be neat to check that out. If i read it correctly this strange object is at the intersection of East Potrero Road & Carlisle Road?
Google Maps shows it as the intersection of East Carlisle Road and Carlisle Road. I checked Bing Maps and it didn't even label Carlisle Road (it's only a short dead-end). It shouldn't be too hard to spot - it's about halfway down East Carlisle Road on the left-hand-side, right opposite the golf club car park. The post contains a Google Maps link.
I've noticed that there are a few differences between the street naming on Google Maps vs Bing Maps eg. the road that passes Lake Eleanor is the north part of Decker Canyon Road on Google, but the south end of South Westlake Blvd on Bing. All the links I've posted are for Google Maps, so maybe you should print off a map of the area from there and mark the places you want to go.
Are you planning on doing the WB Studio tour as well?.

Are there any that I am missing?
I haven't covered the West Potrero Road area (just north-west of Lake Sherwood) in the Hazzard Square thread yet because, as I mentioned recently, I was planning to link to Wekke's pictures. Since these are no longer available I hope to be covering the area soon. This road, with its distinctive white fencing, was used quite a bit. From what I can see it hasn't changed much. I think the only picture I've posted so far is from the Reunion movie:
Don't go looking for the location of the Duke Farm and Boars Nest from this era - the location near Lake Sherwood has changed beyond recognition. I also plan to cover this in future posts.

I'll take a word from the beginning and add a couple at the end:

Hi Nick, welcome to HNet. I'm very envious of your upcoming trip to the filming locations. Take lots of pictures, and then post them here. If you get to East Carlisle Road you might be able to tell us what the strange object in the second picture of this post is.
What a shame that you had to let your General go. Still, at least you still have the '68. It looks like yours has the white stripe around the rear. If I owned a black '68 Charger I think I'd have to do it like the one in Bullitt, but that's just me

I really must start watching whole episodes again. I'm going to take a complete guess at the Beaudrys.

From their seventh studio album 'Savage':
Apparently this album didn't do too well in the US, and although this song was the second single in the UK, it was never released as a single in the US - shame!.
- Oingo BoingoI guess the UK/US thing works both ways. I don't think Oingo Boingo had much or even any chart success in the UK. I'm familiar with their theme for Weird Science (although I didn't know who it was by), and Danny Elfman's later work, but that's about it.
There's something about the backing of this track that really reminds me of the intro to
. That's Stress the UK neo-psychedelic rock band (Wikipedia's description) from the late '80s/early '90s, and not to be confused with other bands of the same name. Despite supporting Lenny Kravitz on tour they never had great success and only released one album. -
We seem to be cutting a word off the title each time - if anyone knows a song called 'Day' it belongs in 'One Word Song Titles'

Hey Daney, if we can get enough people to guess a season 4 episode somebody will get it right.
No need Roger, Daney already has the right answer - it was 'Trouble at Cooter's'. If you have the closed captions on while the boys are singing it doesn't show the lyrics but does say "Do you know the words?". If you need the closed captions, how do you know what the song is?.
Anyone else care to ask a question?.

These are great! That Obama one is cracking me up. Hoss, I'd love to post that one on FB if it's okay with you, and if it's okay with Mufn. Not trying to get political with it, I just think it's fun. Everybody digs the Dukes of Hazzard!
It's fine with me - he's your president

Sticking with the '80s:
The strange scene at the beginning of the video was filmed in Camden Parkway, North London. Despite the video being nearly 30 years old, some of the stores are still recognizable.

Songs with 'Another' in their title must've been popular in the late '70s - here another one
:This is the video from the movie with "Happiest Days Of Our Lives" segueing into the song. That is way most radio stations play the song.I still remember the video that contained the Gerald Scarfe cartoons (marching hammers etc.) - that's the version that was shown on TV when it topped the UK charts in 1979:

Hey, does someone enjoy it, or am I wasting my time?
The fact that you enjoyed making these pictures means they weren't a waste of time, no matter what other people's opinions are. Having said that, I know from posting my own pictures here that it's good to get some sort of feedback. From reading the other comments it's clear that I'm not the only one who enjoys seeing your pictures, and always look at new ones that you've posted - I apologize for not commenting earlier. Even though I don't really read/watch any Anime I can still appreciate the work you put into these. Also, despite playing around with photos myself, I have no idea how you do most of them

Your model seems to be coming along really well, even if I don't remember a any zombies appearing in Dukes
. I also watched a couple of your older videos and it was nice to see the progress you've made (and to get a name check in one of them ). I'm glad your latest video has dropped the music at the beginning and end that was much louder than the rest of film. Keep up the good work. -
This band also did quite well in the '80s:
This song is actually from their most successful album 'Parallel Lines' which came out in 1978. The fact that I remember 1978 may go some way to answering Val Strate's current question: "Why do I feel old....?"
. -
Or is there another way?. I thought of several more songs with 'Way' in the title - anyone fancy more on this theme?.
Doh! I missed the whole "boogie" theme. I woulda posted Elton's Boogie Pilgrim and KC & the Sunshine Band'sI had a couple of 'Boogie' songs left - maybe we'll get back to them.

Well done Roger, it was 'Take It Easy' (see below). Here's a tougher follow-up question:
Which episode begins with Bo and Luke singing 'Take It Easy'?. As Waylon says, "That's singing. Well, sort of." (Clue: it was in season 4)
