Del, So that's why those Nascar cars go so fast - and I thought it was the super fuel they used...wonder if they inject just a tad of that home brew to make their cars go extra fast...and to think that's how they got to the Nascar stage - outrunning those DNR guys...and yes, in WV it is the Department of Natural Resources. Sounds right since white lightning is made out corn. That's natural enough...lots of corn for the DNR. And it is so true that it's the guns they are afraid of. I think most everybody in the hills here has a gun right next to their hound dog, and they are not afraid to use it to keep anybody they don't want on THEIR LAND In these parts they don't look kindly on those who are not land owners - sad to say. I have tried to determine how these deep rooted feelings have become so deeply inbred ....well, that's another whole chapter about WV....cousins to cousins, brother to sister. It's true...it's in my genealogy in the Ratliffs, and about every other line too. I'll be doing a search, and ooops, there are the same grandparents, or same aunts and uncles. Makes it REAL INTERSTING! Kind of got off the subject there, but your comment about Nascar and White Lightning is interesting - I didn't know that. No wonder NASCAR is so big in these parts! And you had a Moonshiner in your family. I am sure I did too! Sheila in WV --------------------------------- Be a better Globetrotter. Get better travel answers from someone who knows. Yahoo!

Geez, I thought everyone knew of that.? Once in a while, they review that as a history lesson to honor the beginners in this sport.? Not that many generations ago.? That does not mean the drivers now are of that origin, but personally feel that the owners of a few teams may go way back to that.
