Modern American Redneckism and everything cool associated with it comes from the American South.

The American South came from the Scots-Irish.

The Scots Irish came from Ulster.

The Scots Irish in Ulster came from the Scottish Borderlands.

Ergo; ancestral Lowland Scot Redneckism, alive and well.

First off, a historical marker from the village of Ecclefechan, these 19th Century guys sure looked Southern to me....



Shortly thereafer I'm riding along and these little muddy sedans start absolutely screaming up and down the roads every which way, and I could hear 'em getting absolutely flogged up in the dirt on the hillsides above too....





It was a local rally, here was a pit stop or check point of sorts....



I was given to understand that the spectators all stay in their cars along the roadside so that they can roll if the Cops show up.

So there it is; paleolithic Redneckism, the distant roots of mud racing and NASCAR all in one.
