    NASCAR news

    I've mentioned F1 pit crews before, but they do things very differently. An F1 pit crew consists of about 20 people, including three to work the manual jacks (one is a backup at the front) and two to hold the car steady. There's also three on each wheel: one to take the old tire off, one to operate the wheel gun, an one to put the new tire on. F1 doesn't currently have in-race refuelling, and the same pit crew have to service both cars in a team, but that's generally only between one and three times in a race. Also, the cars mainly come in at staggered intervals rather than in a big group. With that many people, you can change four wheels in 1.92 seconds: I'm not sure how reducing NASCAR pit crews from six to five will make things fairer. We'll have to wait and see.

  5. The replica nudge bars like the one you posted are bolt on items, but I believe the narrow ones in the show were welded. Take a look at www.lostgenerallee.com where they were trying to work out if they had a screen used General Lee (bolding by me):
  6. I use an image host to post my pictures (although I can't recommend the one I use), so I don't know what limit you hit. Hopefully MeadowMufn will see your question. The picture you posted shows the wide nudge bar. The earlier one was about a foot shorter.
  7. The General always had a nudge bar, but there were two different types. The one used in earlier shows was a stock item (I think it was designed for pickups) which was welded to the front bumper. In later shows, they moved to a wider custom nudge bar which was welded directly to the chassis. The second one was obviously much more practical, but many fans find the original narrow bar more aesthetically pleasing, even it it did fall off in some episodes. The screengrab below is from the beginning of "My Son, Bo Hogg".
  8. Roundabout There's a roundabout (or traffic circle as I believe they're known in the US) called Charlie Brown's Roundabout in northeast London. It got its name from a nearby pub which was demolished in 1972. The landlord of the pub and his father before him were both called Charlie Brown.
  9. You're right, Hobie. The kid is Jason Lively, and he returned to Hazzard as Rod Moffet in "The Boar's Nest Bears". Two years after that, he played Chevy Chase's son in "National Lampoon's European Vacation". Technically, Ernie Lively is Jason's stepfather. He was also in "One Armed Bandits", as Dobro Doolan. The part you're referring to is Longstreet B. Davenport, who showed up for three episodes in the second season. His final appearance was as Clyde, the Guard in "The Ransom of Hazzard County". NB. Ernie's first four appearances were credited as "Ernie W. Brown".
  10. Thanks for letting us know, MM. By chance, I watched "The Hazzardgate Tape" (Mel's other Dukes appearance) yesterday.

  12. The crossed flags seem to be popular with people who build replica General Lees, maybe because of the affection in which they hold the Georgia episodes. Personally, I like them, but I wouldn't consider them essential.

  15. Here are the crossed flags from "One Armed Bandits". I don't remember seeing them in other episodes, although they may be visible in other Georgia episodes.
  16. Ray YOUNG played Dell Webber in "The Late J.D. Hogg"
  17. Speaking personally, I'd generally consider myself English. Each of the countries in the UK has their own identities and accents, and people usually identify with one rather than all of them. Maybe that would change if I was further from home, since we all travel on a British passport. Of course, there are exceptions, such as sporting events where we compete together as a British team, e.g. the Olympics. I'm only ever European during the Ryder Cup . The terms America and USA are pretty much interchangeable if it's where someone comes from. Obviously the word American could refer to anyone from the Americas, but I don't think I've ever come across someone from another country calling themselves American.
