As many of you know, I lived in Florida for a few years. I still keep tabs on what's going on in my former neck of the woods (and take "neck of the woods" literally!). Today the local paper ran a story about bootlegging moonshine in the area I used to live, and they had the following paragraph in the article: In the old days, long before restrictor plates, some future NASCAR drivers honed their skills at driving fast and making quick left and right turns by running moonshine. That list includes NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Junior Johnson. Of course I immediately thought of the Condor and wondered what it would have been like if he decided to run moonshine. Thoughts?? I'm not looking to write a fic about it (but if someone else wants to, please be my guest!), just thought it would be something fun for us to ponder!

Sounds like Dukes of Hazzard or Stroker Ace meets Gatchaman/BotP. It might be fun to do a cross-over fic with one of those.

Somehow, I can't see Joe having the patience to do this. He'd just grab a beer at the Snack J...

- How about a story about Jason and Lucy before Race Against Disaster ? - If caught Jason / Joe, could say it was for tactical evasion training, - Or undercover training to infiltrate known suspects with possible associated with money laundering for Spectra - Or ken could have lost a bet with Joe, and is forced to navigate and is pressured because he needs the money, because Jun is refusing to let him back into the bar untill he pays off his debt (Joe / Jason have done street racing for money , why not this?) - If ken and Joe are caught , Ken could say it was for the good of the team eg team bonding and problem solving (paying of his debts, keeping Joe out of trouble, cause he would have done it without him) - Prohabition has come to the city - Jun needs Alcohol to keep the Bar Running - Set in Roaring Twenties? - Or because he (Ken) beleived that the moonshine had potential fuel for the phoenix (Ken has the potential to spin anything to make it beleivable , he would just present a 20 page report saying very little, but confusing the reader into just giving up) - Cause Joe / Jason would see it as a challenge to pit their skills against moonshine competitors and the law, and cause it involves driving / racing fast because now that "Copper Head Road" song is stuck in my head, and its as bad as the little elephant walk,or the smuff song or the the muppets manama na song and I'm going to have to start writing to exercise it this song ps I take no responsibility if they lodge in other brains Igor! ....flip the Switch , Frankenstein is rising, let the creating begin...ha...ha ...giggle (rubbing hands with glee...)
