Spike

The Days of Shine and Roses beat the Carnival of Thrills. Shouldn't it be in the Finals? Also, One Armed Bandits beat the Ghost of GL. 

If everybody was Dukes of Hazzard fans the world would be a lot better off. 

Y'all be safe tonight with the storms blowing in. 

It will soon be powered by the Hemi V8 again. Stellantis will be making the 5.7, 6.4 and hellcat V8s in Ann arbor Michigan. Sales of the electric Charger have been abysmal and it seems the guys in charge of Dodge don't think the hurricane 6 engine won't do much better for Charger sales so they're working on getting the V8 back under the hood. 
I seen a video the other day on YouTube where the Charger was raced against the Mustang dark horse. Next to the mustang the charger looked huge. It didn't do all that well either. Between the 2 guys one definitely has raced cars before and knew how to drive as he won the race in both cars. 1st race he was in the Charger and didn't really blow the mustang away as you'd expect from an electric car. 2nd race he was in the Mustang, while off the line the charger was ahead he eventually caught up and passed the Charger. 
In other news Camaro could be coming back. GM reps confirmed Chevy will be the car for V8 Supercars and NASCAR and they confirmed it wouldn't be a Corvette.

Josh Berry gave the Wood Brothers their 101st win at Las Vegas today, they are also celebrating their 75th anniversary in NASCAR racing.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I have a splash of Irish from my mom's side. I am always wearing green because I have green eyes (my overwhelmingly Scottish heritage).

For me it finally went away around 6pm Saturday. Wife's finally went away Sunday morning. 
Tomorrow and Wednesday will be very spring like with temps in the upper 60's then Thursday a dusting of snow has been forecasted for the 1st day of spring 
Only thing that wasn't green on me today were my jeans and shoes 

Due to the big drop in barometric pressure my wife and I got headaches yesterday and pretty much stayed inside and were couch potatoes. Winds got up to 55-60mph.

I hope everyone in the US is safe and well.

In Ireland, March 17 can only mean St Patrick's Day. This year I had to help out a bit with the organizing, but still got to see the parade and other attractions. Despite not being Irish, I still dressed head to foot in green!

Roger, you'd probably have enjoyed seeing the Museum of the Moon, an art installation which features a 7m diameter, 1:500,000 model of the moon.

A temporary Ferris wheel gave us great views despite cloudy conditions.

Finally, we got some great live Irish music from Kíla. The uilleann pipes and bodhrán mixed with flutes, drums, guitar and bass were played with such energy - it was amazing.
 

I hope you get to feeling better bud!

Last year on the social media channels, I ran HazzardNet Hysteria (the Dukes version of March Madness). It didn't even occur to me to post about it on the forums.  I will be posting polls here for y'all to vote too. Last year it was characters and Uncle Jesse won. This year, it's Battle of the Episodes.
 
And since y'all are the most avid supporters of HazzardNet, you get first crack at the polls! I'll post them here first.

Fellow Hazzard-ites if you live around the Great Lakes batten down the hatches as there are 50+mph winds coming with the storm front this weekend. Barometric pressure will take big swings too so you might get a headache. 

Was a beautiful morning with the snow we got late yesterday and a clear sky this morning so we went to the park and took a bunch of pics. 

Cadillac has had its bid to join F1 in 2026 formally approved. Read more here.

It's a great idea, but don't let me hold things up. I'm often in bed by 10pm, which is 5pm ET and therefore 2pm Pacific.

Would anyone be interested in having episode watch parties? I can't promise any sort of frequency, but I would love to re-watch the series again with you guys. If you're interested, comment with the days of the week and times that are best for you and I'll try to schedule something that works for the majority. I might be able to schedule a second viewing for folks across the pond. I would also like some volunteers to test things out with me on the website we'll be using.

Someone, who shall remain nameless unless they want to reveal themselves, has graciously paid for HazzardNet's hosting this month via the Ko-Fi widget in the right sidebar. I did, however, create a new badge that I will give out to everyone who contributes. So, if you want to go poking around, you'll probably find said individual. 🤭 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I won't go into details, but the last 6 months have probably been the roughest of my life and, though I have been a little absent from the forums (though I have been working on a few things in the background), I am so grateful for all of you. I know there's always a place here I can come to get away from all my troubles. Dukes fans are the best!

There's some discussion about the new road-going Charger and possible gas engines in a recent Doug DeMuro podcast. It's a good looking car with styling cues from the '60s Chargers. One of the publicity shots shows the new car in orange, but sadly it's the 4-door version. I'm sure it won't be long before someone slaps an 01 on the side of a 2-door.
 

Dodge is rumored to be returning to NASCAR. First in the truck series in 2026 with the Ram 1500 then the following year with the Charger coupe in Cup and Xfinity series. It is unknown if they will go with a V8 or make a race engine with the new i6 engine. 

My car passed its NCT (National Car Test) tonight. I realize that regular vehicle testing is not something that most of the US members have to worry about, but over here all vehicles are tested. For private cars, the first test comes at 4-years-old, then every other year until they're 10-years-old, and then every year after that. My car's getting on a bit now, so it was a relief that it got through.

The test covers: brakes; emissions; wheels and tires; lights; steering and suspension; chassis and underbody; electrical systems; glass and mirrors; transmission; interior (seat belts etc.); fuel system. If you don't have a valid test, you can get fined and points on your licence.

seems like they would make a custom built  Viper! That would probably be the fastest!
