If it is they won't be allowed to say until the show starts.

You catch a glimpse of it in the promos on SPEED. Looks like it's black with a silver hockey stick.

It was probably the same sugar based glass they use in movie stunts, not real plate glass.

I agree, I had dreams I was on the show during the 1st season.

That block wall was real enough to do some pretty substantial damage to the Ford pickup that ran through it. I don't think it was a full-on mortar and cinder block deal but it sure wasn't foam blocks.

Interesting things about this year...


To make things a little more interesting, Bullrun rules favor the smart, often punishing the overeager:
- No GPS or satellite navigation systems can be used
- No cell phones
- No laptop computers
- No radio or CD player
- Speeding leads to severe penalties; arrests lead to immediate disqualification
- Each day, cars can only leave when instructed
- Cars must start and finish each day under their own power, or the power of their drivers

I could do it with no radio, i couldn't hear one anyways!

It's short for Teleportation Vehicle. It's a magic box that transports you to other times/places/realities.
CAUTION-- it can be highly addicting, sometimes causing comatose-like states of being.
Wanna try it... the first one's free...

I wonder how big of a brick the producers would **** if you showed up with a built-in carputer, satellite phone, and portable TV.

Not specifically disallowed in the rules, gotta think like smokey yunick

Ah yes. I remember now. I kicked that habit about two years ago.

My car doesn't even have a radio.. I would need map lights though.. lol

I'm surprised they can't have a cell phone for safety reasons..
