Anyone we know?

[Damn True]

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.

[Steve1968LS2]

That show would be a blast to be on..

[Ron S]

Kinda hard on the cars though.I don't think I would drive Penny through plates of glass.Makes you wonder what the other contestants received for tearing there cars up.Ron

[6'9"Witha69]

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.

I would probably do a vinyl body wrap on my car if i was going to be on a show like this. looks like a fun show to be on though, I watched every episode last year.

Remember the "block wall" that looked like styrofoam?

But mr angry did tell me the cars got pretty dinged up...too bad he is not on this one.

[Damn True]

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.

I loved the show, can't wait for the new one!

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!

What's TV?

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...

[dropit69]

can't wait for this season ..hope that hot Alsop girl is in it again..:-)

[vanzuuk1]

True....bring the tech.

[blackbeast]

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..

[zbugger]

Nothing saying they can't have a CB in the car!!! Smokey and the Bandit time for me!!!!
