Bullrun

[Rich Team11 H/O]

We did it we ran the event it was great, thank you to everyone who gave me tips. The tires recommended here were awesome and helped us beyond belief. They have begun running promos on Spike TV, you can see the Hurst in several shots, you can see me running up to what looks like an emergency phone booth. I set up a myspace page that has three of the promos that are currently running. Former pro wrestler Bill Goldberg is the host.

[CraigMorrison]

Cool! Big fan of the Bullrun. I dig watching all the rally events that are going now a days:Gumball3000,Carbon Black,Players Run,Bull Run,Cannonball, etc.etc. I'm looking forward to seeing how the show is. Just hope that it isn't going to be to corny. Glad you had a good time!

[Bob Johnson]

Goldberg called me just before it started. That's when I was having my heart operation. He called me several times during the run. He said it was a big production. $200K first prize???Wow...I don't think with Bill commentating, it will be corny. he's pretty cool at that stuff...

[LMDGUY]

Does anybody know when it starts showing on tv??

[MrAngry]

March 13th @ 10pm on SpikeTV

:6gears:

[bingham72]

That show looks awesome! How did you get involved?

[ProdigyCustoms]

There was a online entry form. Sounded killer. Can't wait for the show.

[MrAngry]

The show will be nothing anyone has EVER seen... :drive1:

[jeff s]

We're building a chassis for a car destined to run the next one.

[Black-Jacket]

We're building a chassis for a car destined to run the next one.

Can we get some spy shots?

[nitrorocket]

Was this the ralley you had to apply for???

I wish they would have picked me too!

That had to be awesome!!!

[sonic69]

Sounds cool. I can't wait to see the show.

[Chad-1stGen]

Looks badass!

[Rich Team11 H/O]

Sorry no spy shots, they confiscated all pictures, they are building a website and will publish them on the net soon enough.

Yes you had to apply, then do phone interviews, send pictures of you and your car, specs, do a video, then if youre one of the lucky selected get flown out to LA to get interviewed and filmed in person then sit and wait to see if youre one of the 12 teams. Then the fun began :)

[CraigMorrison]

Hey XJguy - you might want to check out www.gtspirit.com (https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/www.gtspirit.com) its a great rally site that covers Bullrun, Playersrun, Gumball etc.

MrAngry- Great to see you over there!

[moparguy]

Cool ride XJguy! Your car will be one of my favorites on the show because its different than what you see everyday.

[Rich Team11 H/O]

Hey everybody don't forget to watch me and my brother in the premier of Bullrun on Spike TV tomorrow night at 10pm. Set your VCRs, Beta max, DVDr, DVR, or whatever other setup you got if you wont be around a TV. This show will blow your mind.

Don't forget my brother and I are using his very, very rare 1975 Hurst/Olds W30, 1 of only 48 known to exist. This 700 horsepower monster in its current form its worth close to $100k and we beat the hell out of it!!! Watch us as we take on cars like Lamborghini, Lotus, and Mr. Angry's awesome 68 Dodge Charger.

Do you know if the show will be aired all in one night or is it going to be kinda like a series?do you know the show dates if it will be aired as a series?


thanks

[Rich Team11 H/O]

thanks

Its a new reality series, it will be on the air for at least 10weeks. They will also rerun each weeks episodes a few times each week, check the Spike TV website for listings and times.

[ALLFAITH]

Looking forward to it seeing some fellow NY'ers like yoursleves and Mr. Angry kick some A##.

Brad

[MrAngry]

It should be a fun ride... we truly did drive the nuts off these cars... I think everyone on this list will get a real kick out of seeing two old musclecars taking on some the of the finest imports and exotics.

Cheers guys and enjoy the show.

Mike (MrAngry)

[ProTouringNyc]

Look like you guys had a awesome time

[BA.]

yup, looked like fun for sure.

whoever it was that called the Lambo having issues nailed it.

oh, and it was funny when the 'you know who' lost and got bitchy. :-D


Liked your Charger too Mr. Angry. Looks really great. I'd like to see more of that 57 too.

[dropit69]

ha that 1st episode was cool..cant believe only the olds got stopped by cops..the charger rules Mr.Angry..

[vanzuuk1]

The show was cool,glad to see the two chicks get tossed. Go new yawk!

[NVRENUF]

Great show. Just jealous its not me. Tivo has more work to do now!

[CRCRFT78]

Man I would love to do the Bullrun in my Malibu. Looks like it was a blast.

[Bookm]

There IS a GOD, LOL... and he has finally brought a GREAT show to TV-land. I was a recent participant on Canada's Worst Driver (due to my disregard for speed limits) and had a lot of fun... But NOTHING like the fun you guys are having!!!

I'm totally routing for the Olds as I have a '73 GTO (Canadian Built, also very rare).

One major question... Why the heck is NO ONE using a Radar Detector???

Book'm
P.S. I also know the countless hours of filming, just to get those few little snippits on air, hehe. I'll bet you hate to see just how much great footage got left on the cutting-room floor.

Awesome show so far,you guys must`ve had a blast,the cars looks great cant wait for the next episode,go ny`ers!!

[PT Goat]

I liked the show but I was left wondering whether use of Radar and NAV units are banned?

[Bill Howell]

I saw the show last night and really enjoyed it. Other than the typical drama BS with all reality shows, this one really had some new twists. I liked the fact of the competition that helped level the playing field after the first day. I would love to do this if it happens again.:drive2:

[rob07002]

Cool show and love the Olds and Charger.

How did the cars survive? I would have a hard time with some of the challenges though, couldn't imagine scraping up my car after all the work put into it.

[Bill Howell]

For a chance at 200K, I could repaint mine...hehe

[staged67gspwr]

For a chance at 200K, I could repaint mine...hehe


Ditto,lolol.

[Bigblue73]

XJguy and MrAngry you guys rock. I enjoyed the show and hope you guys made it far. MrAngry - Nice Burnout!

BTW - I loved it when the flag girl got dumped on her rear at the start.

[MrAngry]

Hey Guys -

Man, thanks so much for all the support on this.

Ok, where to begin. Yes, we started in Whitefish, Montana - no grips about Montana, but when your raised in Brooklyn and then you go to the country it's a bit strange, I'm used to seeing a building every 3 feet - think of it like this, the building that I am sitting in right now in NYC has 11,000 people in it. That's more then most of the towns populations that we drove through so it was culture shock for me. The girls on the show actually where pretty knowledgeable about cars and Dimi, the blonde actually has some road racing experience... the problem was her sister couldn't read map. When they got booted they were PISSED!!... Goldberg was really funny though and just basically told them to shut-up, quit bitchen' and leave... which they did. Also, he is honestly one of the nicest guys on the planet, a real car guy and someone who appreciates a well set-up machine.

We didn't get that much screen time in the first episode which is ok, cause' we're still in it, but consider this - they had to open up the story, give a brief introduction to 12 teams, create a story line and someone had to get booted in the end. That's a lot to stuff into 44 minutes of television. You'll different scenarios unfold throughout the show, different people will start to have problems, make some mistakes and just do plain stupid stuff.

All the decals on the car were vinyl and came off with no problems - did we take any damage? A couple of scuffs here and there but nothing that couldn't be remedied (right Rich / Andre!) - everything right now is all back to normal. When we filmed in Montana it was COLD!!! I'm talking like 2 degrees cold... it sucked. The scenery however was some of the most beautiful that I have ever seen and I was just so cool to be able to do this with one of my best friends. It was a blast.

We couldn't use radar or GPS because they wanted to keep the playing field equal, we had no cell phones, but they did give nextel units so as to keep in touch with the other teams.

Cheers - Mike (MR ANGRY)

[GT500KR_Vert]

radar and GPS. I'd be so decked out. The big block or high horsepower cars do have the MPG disadvantage. Doesn't seem worth it. A fast good MPG car wouldn't have to stop.

[GT500KR_Vert]

glad to see those girls go! completely annoying!

[MrAngry]

You have no idea.... 9mpg also sucked too.

[Rich Team11 H/O]

Thanks guys! I'm pysched too, even though we lived it, its all new to us again because we dont know how things came out on camera and what was edited. Yes lots and lots of stuff was omitted, I understand plenty of the scenes that were left out will be available online.

Damage.....hmm, I'll let you guys see the rest show. :)

Rich

[Bow Tie 67]

I stayed up to watch it and yes it was good, but 10 episodes, arghhh I really need to get tivo.

I liked the way you mentioned friends in the nypd while pulled over, I was really expecting a burnout while pulling away.

[foryorent]

So are radar detectors and GPD NOT allowed? Or just not encouraged?

[6'9"Witha69]

I stayed up to watch the show, and man was I surprised that it wasn't another "Pinks" on the road or other half assed attempt at reality TV. This seems well thought out and interesting. Hell, even the wife really enjoyed it. Of course she and I both agreed that we could never do the same competition together, lol.

Who'da thought the Mustang team would be in first? Guess that 45 minute bonus helped A LOT!!

btw, the Charger and Olds look GREAT!!

[rob07002]

Do they tell you ahead of time where the next checkpoint will be?

I would screw the short cuts, take the highway, take your chances on speeding a bit and get there first.

[GMachineDartGT]

XJ - Good job on the show. You and what NO2 bottle are making a REAL 700 hp out of your Olds...See you on Ocean Parkway...

Angry - Show looked great, Charger performed as prescribed, like a true Mopar.

[Rich Team11 H/O]

Thanks man.

548hp on the dyno @ McBetts and a 150hp shot of nitrous= 700HP (698) But, we never dynoed the engine with the NO2 so thats best case scenario, the altitude was actaully really dogging our cars.

That engine is a baby compared to the engine my bro is building up now, $25k invested in engine build alone...close to 700hp all motor no bottle. :)

[GMachineDartGT]

Very cool. Need details of the build, cylinder head data, etc. Very nice numbers indeed. Do you have plans to come to the beach on Sundays?

[diesel1114]

hey guys saw the show and it was great , during commercials i was on the phone with my boys who were watching it as well, i also have to agree with nick ( 6'9"with69) it does seem well thought out and it is very attention grabbing , all the cars looked really good , the guys in the 57 210 are funny as hell and the guy with mustang who goes SUM B#*%! got me cracking up 2 lol cant wait to see next eposode

[Rich Team11 H/O]

Very cool. Need details of the build, cylinder head data, etc. Very nice numbers indeed. Do you have plans to come to the beach on Sundays?

Thanks, to be honest the car is my brother's and right now its on jack stands waiting to get a new rear put in (we swapped the rear out right before the show after he grenaded it a day before the car was shipped to the west coast, we pulled an all nighter getting the car ready). We used very highway friendly gearing for the show, and it was a weak rear, 10 bolt, thats why we never even attempted to do a burnout, especially with those insanely sticky tires. So I dont know when it will be back on the road. But he has a few milder Cutlasses that he drives around in.

Here's the list:

75 Hurst/Olds W-30 from the show
75 Hurst/Olds W-30 in primer
75 Cutlass Extreme..this is the one we had originally planned to use for the show but did not get done in time, thats where the super engine is going. This is his ultimate Cutlass
74 Cutlass S (need him to confirm this one, might be a 75)
75 Cutlass Supreme (parts car)
73 Cutlass Supreme (mint condition low miles and For Sale)

BTW my bro is in the BF Goodrich Road Crew Competition mini show being shown during the March madness basketball finals.

[Northern Goat]

Did the BMW really finish that 1st segment with a tampon in the rad, or did they do a real fix.

Routing for you Mr. Angry

[vanzuuk1]

You could get pretty creative with a hidden radar detecter."gee,my shift light blinks whenever we pass a speed trap"

[speedster]

Looks like a blast guys. The Charger and Olds are nice machines to represent the muscle car contingent. I thought it was funny that the Lambo guys with the attitude are smoking their clutch. The Scion chicks are gone too. Yeah.

[MrAngry]

Ok - hears the deal with the GPS and Maps and such. When we started the show they took away all our electronics... and I mean everything, cell phones, portable GPS units hell they even took our iPods... we had no music for like 4000 miles (so based on that odds are you will hear me singing at some point and I'm not very good so be gentle with the comments when the time comes). They wanted to keep the playing field as level as possible right from the get go which is why they took everything. Keep in mind also that there was not one car on the show with an in dash nav system... they didn't want anyone cheating.

Believe it or not it actually worked out pretty good, plus we had so many cameras inside the car they would have seen anything we were doing.

[staged67gspwr]

Mike,like Northern Goat mentioned as i was curious myself did that tampon technique really work on that BMW or was that a crock?i find it hard to beleive a freakin tampon will seal a radiator.


Thanks

[mdprovee]

Nice move on buying all the maps. Pretty funny.

[GMachineDartGT]

I don't know the real deal with the BMW rad, but I assume they were able to pinch off the ruptured tubes. Maybe when she jammed the tapon in, it pinched the tubes shut, thats all I can think of, unless there were other shenanigans off camera.

[staged67gspwr]

Dude who knows,lol:dunno:

[TPI Monte SS]

Nice move on buying all the maps. Pretty funny.

Yeah, I thought that was a pretty evil trick, nice work! Mike, you know I'm rooting for you. I even told my students I got to see your car in person and cruise with you a while back, and they didn't believe me until I showed them the pics!

[diesel1114]

yea that thing with the tanpon was pretty interesting but like u guys say who knows, but yea all of us here in the north east are rooting for our NY area guys ( charger and olds ) it will be interesting to see whats up as the series goes on. just my 2cents

[malihoochie]

I was surprised that everyone did not know about the egg white in the radiator, meanwhile I was "edjumacated" with the tampon trick.:dunno:

[Rich Team11 H/O]

Mike,like Northern Goat mentioned as i was curious myself did that tampon technique really work on that BMW or was that a crock?i find it hard to beleive a freakin tampon will seal a radiator.


Thanks

Rich here, thats what they did, it held for a little while, but then I think they JB Welded it. The show is heavily edited, there was simply too much footage; to show everything would take years, so things looks contrived but they are not; just made to fit in the time allotted.

We had three cameras in each car and each car had at camera crew following as well, and when we arrived at the end of each leg there was about a 100 cameras at all times, it was nuts.

[Ralph LoGrasso]

Ahhh, I'm so pissed I missed the debut. I need tivo! Hopefully I can catch a rerun this week, so I'm not out of the loop for the second episode.

[Rich Team11 H/O]

Ahhh, I'm so pissed I missed the debut. I need tivo! Hopefully I can catch a rerun this week, so I'm not out of the loop for the second episode.

Man you just missed it again, it ran again about 45 minutes ago. I will rerun Sat. at 11am, after that the only place you can watch it will be online at the spiketv.com site. Uninterrupted!

Rich

[Rich Team11 H/O]

LOL...they edited all of our audition/casting tapes and put them on You Tube!

You can see my Jeeps and me doing some Jeep welding! Take note the height difference in my two Jeeps. One is set up for asphalt tearing.

Ahhh, you're kidding me?! If I can't catch it saturday, I'll definitely watch it online, I didn't realize they hosted the entire episodes uninterrupted--pretty cool!

[muthstryker]

i just watched it tonight since i missed the first air time. pretty cool show id love to do something like that. cant wait for the other episodes to be on. rootin for you guys (xjguy and mr angry)

[MrAngry]

Thanks guys... wait until the next episode on Tues. It's going to be pretty hairy....

[CraigMorrison]

Don't hate, appreciate!



Good luck guys -

[Chad-1stGen]

Was just going to ask if there was any place online to watch this since I don't get spike tv. Going to check out their site now or do I have to wait a full week before they are online?

[Chad-1stGen]

http://www.spiketv.com/shows/bullrun/fullepisodes/index.html

You can watch it online but so far I can't get it to stream worth a damn

Been trying to watch this and find a way to stream it. I've watch lots of shows online befoe and have pretty good bandwidth but this is BS. SpikeTV sucks at putting episodes online. Someone needs to post the whole episode to youtube or something.

EDIT: Well I just downloaded it using bit torrent. Pretty good. I love that charger!

[sonic69]

Killer show guys. My wife even watched it and liked it. Can't wait for next episode.

[Dr.Olds]

Hey guys, just got back to school from spring break, and I must say I've got my whole family rooting for the NY guys (Mr. Angry and XJGuy) since we're from CT too. My whole family is into cars so we all watched the first episode and got hooked! Definetly a cool show with even better cars, the Olds and the Charger are by far the coolest on the show too! And yes, nice move with buying all the maps too! hahaha. Loved it!

[Dr.Olds]

Just out of curiosity, how did you go about signing up for the show? Did you have to register for the regular Bullrun, or do it through Spike for the show? My dad and I were talking about applying for it next time they do it just to see if we get in:naughty:

[staged67gspwr]

Hey Andre(XJguy)you know my buddy Ian with a red `66 Chevelle?


Thanks

[diesel1114]

if u do know our friend that would be to funny lol, defintly got to get u guys out one night this week weather getting better etc

:smoke:

[BonzoHansen]

Quick observations....

*A Charger with 01 on the side? :) Thank god I love your car or I'd rip on that.

*The Lambo looks good doing donuts. But they look better with Adrienne Barbeau (in her heyday)
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2007/03/tnAdrienneBarbeau_CannonballRun-1.jpg

*I love the Olds - awesome ride.

*The challenge is a bit hokey, but as a GM guy, I liked the outcome.

*Them girls was bad losers. :getout:

*Who was bombing the jager at the end of the show!?!?!?

*What's it like to be a TV star? :firefire:

I watched it online, no issues. I will PVR the rest. This is great.

Jason (Texas) was downing the Jager!

We are not stars but my brother was recognised today while he was driving his 73 Cutlass, its flattering, feels awesome.

We are having a party as Lucky's in Bayside, NY on Bell Blvd. March 29th. All are invited, myself and my brother will be there, we are trying to get the rear ready and back in the Hurst to bring it and park it out front and Mr. Angry and his ride might be there as well.

[Ralph LoGrasso]

My pops' firehouse is like 4 feet from there, I will try to attend.

[rob07002]

Big props to Mr. Angry!!!!!!

If what you guys did last night during the challenge doesn't make a bold statement of what Pro-Touring is all about then I don't know what does.

You guys kicked a$$ and beat the Lotus. LOL! If that doesn't prove these cars function as well as look then nothing will.

Well done. Loving the show and the two New York teams are hysterical!

Yea Mike you toasted his ass,he was breakin on that 40 year old 5000 lbs.muscle car but so little did he know that 5000 lbs. boat as he called it smoked his ass and out handled his junk ass lotus:cheers: :cheers:

[Bookm]

OK guys, I suspect your going to get beat by those quiet guys in the BMW and the F150, but I sure am enjoying the muscle cars while they last =) I'm not sure why Goldberg took on an F150 anyway (yawn). What next, a mini-van? Is Ford a sponser or something??

I can't believe that Nissan broke! I also didn't think those engines were legal in America.

Mr Angry... Your life must be absolutely COMPLETE now, hehe!! You've built one fine "auto-mobeel" and have shown that you can handle it better than an exotic Lotus. That was awesome!! It's cool that they spotlight your plate in a positive way. My plate was profiled in a negative way, and is now Canada's most notorious plate, LOL! (from Canada's Worst Driver).

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[GMachineDartGT]

Well done Angry, once again, performance as prescribed. A simple setup, carefell planning and excellent driving all add up to a solid performance. I can't tell how happy I was to see the "old" Dodge hand out a beatin' on the Lotus. Well done!!

[CraigMorrison]

I'll second that! Just wish I was in NYC to buy you guys a beer!

[malihoochie]

My question is: Do the the guys in the Honda have ANY depth perception at all??? Too far away (1st challenge) Too close (2nd challenge). Hoping you kept the Charger & Olds a safe distance away from those guys. :drive2:

[mdprovee]

Yeah great driving Mr. Angry, and great car.

[Rich Team11 H/O]

My question is: Do the the guys in the Honda have ANY depth perception at all??? Too far away (1st challenge) Too close (2nd challenge). Hoping you kept the Charger & Olds a safe distance away from those guys. :drive2:

Mr. Angry might want to chime in on this one :drive1:

[MrAngry]

Thanks guys... the show last night was really fun to watch. It's interesting, as I am sure Rich / Andre (Team Olds) will agree, to see how you will be portrayed on the show. We know what happened but obviously the general public does not, so seeing everyone's reaction is the probably the best part for me.

The other good thing was that it was the first time that everyone got to see that the Charger was actually a real car with some real thought and engineering put into it as opposed to some show pony... anyone who thought that should be viewing that car differently now.

I have to give a BIG THANKS to GMachineDartGT (Pete)... he set this car up and I could not have done this show without him. The man KNOWS what he is talking about.

Please just let me know if anyone has any questions and I'll be more than happy to answer them.

And Craig, if you come to NYC, I'll buy you a beer as I am just happy you guys like the show.

Cheers - Mike

Oh yea... the Honda and Paris... hmm.... just keep watching.

[CraigMorrison]

And Craig, if you come to NYC, I'll buy you a beer as I am just happy you guys like the show.

You can get the 2nd round :cheers:

[6'9"Witha69]

Dude, you giys rock!! My wife now FINALLY REALLY understands what I have been doing to my car all these years. She asked "Is that what your car will be able to do when it is done?". "Yes". "OOOOHHH, cool."

We love this show.

Just one question, when you guys made the alliance with the "Muscle cars", why was the Olds left out.

I hate those cocky Lambo guys. It appears nobody else really likes them either.

[Radlark]

Love the show!

Mr. Angry, originally being from NYC myself you guys made me proud!!!

XJGuy, you guys were awesome!

Keep up the great work!

[malihoochie]

:eek: Oh no! that teaser for next week with Mr. Angry yelling about the paint job being screwed up is forshadowing for those guys lack of driving skills???? :scared:

I'm sure you are sworn to secrectcy .... but aww man! waiting for next Tuesday is gonna suck even more now!

[Rybar]

Guys, saw the 2nd episode last night and already me and a bunch of buddies are getting together every week to watch.

Mike (Mr Angry) I love your Charger, that thing looks so awesome and mean on a widescreen TV. Looks like you have at least 335's out back. Loved it when you beat the Lotus.

Rich (XJguy) you and your Bro are hilarious. We were laughing our assed off when you guys took the wrong ferry. And when you yelled at the gas station guy.

I was wondering did the lambo guys replace thier clutch between runs overnight or something? They were chopping donuts with with a bad clutch, AWD and 335's.... ouch. I do think it's funny how they start and stop with the doors open.

Good stuff guys. Were rooting for both of you.

[Dr.Olds]

Yeah Mike congrats on beating that Lotus in the challenge, I was watching it and screaming when the times got posted, haha. As everyone else has said too, the NY teams are freakin hilarious and the Charger definetly looks amazing as well, especially your "special U-turn".......great stuff!!!

[ALLFAITH]

Mike

That was awesome last night. Even my wife (not into cars) was cracking up at the NY attitude of you, your buddy and the Olds brothers. She said it was like listening to my brother and I. Great to see the NY spirit of hard nose running but concern as the Chevy guys were being posioned by CO2.

Needless to say you ride looked better than in person if possible.

Brad


PS Craig Morrison- FYI Just received the Griot's garage catalog with your Vette on the cover, looks great

[bookends]

mrangry, a little off topic but what headlights did you use those are bad azz!

[muthstryker]

last nights show was cool! when were you guys in seattle? my dad works down the street from where it was filmed. just keep it up and show the world that muscle cars CAN handle. rock on dudes :headbang:

[bowtie65]

Hey Mike (MR ANGRY) , Great job !:hah: Kicking some exotic a$$! Pete IS the man. See you soon.

[Larry Callahan]

Oh I missed it! I hope Tivo caught it. Are they airing it again on another night?

[Kal]

Mr Angry,

Loved seeing your car in action! I'm rooting for you guys.

[WhiteG240]

Oh I missed it! I hope Tivo caught it. Are they airing it again on another night?

x2

I missed it too. Can someone tell us when they are showing it again?:drool:

[Chad-1stGen]

Big props to Mr. Angry!!!!!!

If what you guys did last night during the challenge doesn't make a bold statement of what Pro-Touring is all about then I don't know what does.

You guys kicked a$$ and beat the Lotus. LOL! If that doesn't prove these cars function as well as look then nothing will.

Well done. Loving the show and the two New York teams are hysterical!

Dude I'm about to leave in the middle of work so I can go home and try and watch this show lol! Can't wait to see episode 2.

[Larry Callahan]

x2

I missed it too. Can someone tell us when they are showing it again?:drool:

I missed it and it didn't record. I see one on Tursday night. Is it the 3rd or a re-run?

[zbugger]

I missed it and it didn't record. I see one on Tursday night. Is it the 3rd or a re-run?

Should be a re-run.

[Larry Callahan]

Cool!

[Chad-1stGen]

Just watched this online. My favorite show on TV right now.

[staged67gspwr]

My favorite show on TV right now.


Ditto.:cheers:

[MrAngry]

Thank guys - we had a lot of fun making it and I think everyone is pretty happy with the way the editing came out.

[BonzoHansen]

Capt. Chaos would be very proud of your efforts to date. Dun dun DUN!

[MrAngry]

He is without question the great SuperHero ever! :usa:

[malihoochie]

Mr. Angry - your copilot deserves some praise as well, he has been pretty much the only one to give good calm direction during a challange. Some have screamed at the driver adding confusion and others have sat back and done nothing - but go for a ride. Congrats so far!

[68firebird]

Great show guys, and the wife is actually getting into it. I'm rooting for the muscle cars big time, it was great seein you spank the lotus Mr. Angry.

Question about you guys being pulled over by the cops. What the hell do they think is goin on when they pull you guys over, you got sponsor decals all over your car and enormous numbers on your doors? Plus the cameras in the car as well as the camera crew. They gotta know something is going on as far as racing goes. I just don't understand how they let you guys off without even a ticket. I hate to say it, but that part of the show almost seems fixed.

[MrAngry]

First off my co-pilot Jim is a friggin' rockstar! He was a great navigator and gave great directions during the challenge. We make a good team. What you see with the cops is just as it happened, nothing was rigged at all.

For the cops reactions about the car you have to ask Rich / Andre... You guys want to answer that one :drive:

[Rich Team11 H/O]

The cop asked what was going on, we explained to him and emphasized that it was a rally not a race, and that we were obliged to stay within the law or else risk being disqualified. We told him that the camera crew following us was there to enforce the rules. There was much more to that pull-over than was shown, like the part where my brother told me he had no license on him as soon as the cop was behind us and then us quickly trying to think of what we could do, and me yelling at my brother about how the hell he expected to run this thing with no license (apparently he lost it after we arrived at the airport in SLC or Montana). We were going to do the old seat swap but his lights were right on us and we would never have gotten away with it, so we just played to the officer’s sympathy and showed him the PBA cards. We were straight up with him and he let us go…but only after we wasted close to half an hour.

But the place was a total speed trap, it went from 60mph to 15mph no warnings, no anything.

[FoxGranadaChuck]

Bull Run Rocks!!!

[BonzoHansen]

Ha ha, slow & sloppy. ROFLMAO. Geroge Carlin forever. :1st:

[Rich Team11 H/O]

Hey guys thanks again for all the support as you can see things are starting to pick up, best is yet to come.

For all you locals we invite you to come join us Thursday night and have a drink with us. Doors open at 9:30pm and we will have the car there from 10-11:30pm. Ladies drink free (its ladies night :razz: ).

Rich

[Van B]

My favorite line from tonight, "I looked in there and saw there were only two left, so I grabbed one and Richie Rich's butler grabbed the other...."

[dropit69]

Awesome show tonight...i see Mr.Angry grabbed a hug from one of the flag girls ..bet that felt good !!!!!

[BonzoHansen]

Awesome show tonight...i see Mr.Angry grabbed a hug from one of the flag girls ..bet that felt good !!!!!Wasn't that team Olds?

[Dr.Olds]

Definetly a good episode last night, I'm glad to see most of the muscle cars made it through......that sucks for the Mustang though. I'm glad to see the NY teams still hanging in there for sure though! Oh and Team Lambo hittin the Raccoon was pretty good too hahaha. Can't wait to see the next one.

[TA219]

That was a big freakin raccoon too!! I thought it was a dog when i 1st saw it!!

[BonzoHansen]

That was a big freakin raccoon too!! I thought it was a dog when i 1st saw it!!Bah, years ago I hit one that big in my Civic – most of the ones I’ve seen are that big. I came ripping around an s-curve doing about 60 at 3 am. The thing just stood up and looked at me with this ‘oh s**t’ look on his face. I hit him square on the license plate. Poor little ******* must have gotten a grip on the plate; he disappeared for a moment, then suddenly appeared, then fell to his unfortunate demise. I was pulling raccoon hair out of the plate & bracket the next day. I felt bad, but yeah, it was him or me, and I had a car.

Is it just me, or does the T/A guy seems underhanded? :)

Rich

Unfortunately I won't be able to be there in body, but I will be there in spirit.

[6'9"Witha69]

Dude, the episodes are getting better every time.

The Chevy guys had me rolling last night, especially after the competition "It was either lose a Mexican, or hit a light bulb".

The Lambo guy can't drive!!!! Richie rich had to have it but doesn't know what to do with it. I found it all too ironic that the Lambo guys were talking smack about "Texas Ranch" in episode 1, only to get dealt with last night.

I hope you keep up the good work guys!!

[malihoochie]

The Mustang guys did not seem very engine savy to me. They were probably better off getting booted. I would like to see more of the before/after the run kinda stuff, like car prep for the day etc. Maybe that will happen as teams get eliminated.

[malihoochie]

Mr.Angry - Were you really only getting 9 mpg? Wassup with that & a T-56?

[69Nova]

I think Mr Angry's car is a 3 speed auto with the gear vendors overdrive.

[1970cuda]

It is great to see "Chachi and Fonzi" doing good. I sure love the "Mexicans" though. I don't think they have a chance but they are as funny as hell.

[malihoochie]

:hmm: That could be, for some reason I thought I saw somewhere that it said "Viper 6 speed". Even with a GV unit tho' 9 mpg? Thats rough! In 1988 I drove my 396 '69 Camaro from southern California to South Dakota (approx. 1500 miles) with 4.10 gears and a TH400 and still got nearly 12 mpg. :hammer: Granted that was ripping along at a wild 55 - 65 mph, but with 4.10's 65 mph feels like 100 mph.

[FoxGranadaChuck]

Perhaps my perspective is a bit warped, but Bill Goldberg seems to be a REALLY cool car guy!!!

[Damn True]

Perhaps my perspective is a bit warped, but Bill Goldberg seems to be a REALLY cool car guy!!!

He has a genuinely impressive collection.


The shot in the intro of the Chrager launching with smoke framing the "Mr. Angry" tag is EPIC!

[Larry Callahan]

Great show! Bummer the Bama guys are gone. I'm really pulling for the muscle cars.

[Rich Team11 H/O]

Yeah Rich and Phil were real good guys, I have stayed in touch with them.

Fonzi

[Damn True]

Yeah Rich and Phil were real good guys, I have stayed in touch with them.

Fonzi

Dude I didn't realize until this post that you were on the show too. I never made the connection. Yeah yeah I haven't read the whole thread. But I can read a map.

I'm rooting for the New Yorkers and the Mexicans.

Who's Mosler was on the flatbed when the 'bama boys went on the hook?

Seriously though. Did it occur to anyone to grab a cheap-a$$ compass from a truck-stop.

Hint: The sun rises in the east and sets in the west and if you are driving along the Pacific Ocean and the water is on your right you are going South.

Just kidding you East Coast guys. I had a tough time with direction when I moved to NYC. No mountains and the ocean is on the wrong side of the land. But Dirty Rice has no excuse, he's from the Bay Area.

[muthstryker]

shows getting cool. the mexicans are getting luck though. i dont think they will make it after the next show. they are pretty funny tho. i surely hope you guys "mr angry and xjguy" atleast make it to the last couple of shows.

[FoxGranadaChuck]

I just hope that they install new exhaust header gaskets before their next competition.

[MrAngry]

Being on the show was a blast and in one way or another everyone had problems at times. I think we were all bummed to see the Bama' Boys go - they were both great guys but I think that everyone knew from the start that the car wasn't really up for the show. Ya' know they cut out SO MUCH for tv, but I really wish that everyone could've seen the roads we actually drove on when we're in CA. Probably some of the tightest, twistiest stuff I have ever seen and throwing a 4000+lb. musclecar around on them was no easy task, as I am sure Rich and Andre' can attest too.

The Mexican's are just plain hilarious and really some great guys as well, so are the Nissan boys for that matter. I think as whole though everyone was pretty impressed with our 40 year old tanks (Charger/Oldsmobile). As for gas mileage, I was pulling about 9-11 on the highway most of the time... it sucked. I run a 3-speed 727 with a Gear Vendors over/underdrive unit - and THANK GOD for that thing.

Rich/Andre' - had you guys do on gas?

[CraigMorrison]

Missed the show on Tuesday, but caught it on the spiketv website. Very cool episode.

The roads of southern Oregon, northern California are crazy, fun but crazy. They definitely sort out the men from the boys. We did a cruise from Tacoma WA down to LA out on the coast last summer with a group of hot rods & PT cars, so I bet we were on some of the same roads.

Good luck! the show's only getting better!

Was the car on the flatbed a Mosler or a Noble? For a minute I thought it was the Lotus guys........

[StRacerDuke]

It looks like the Mosler/Noble(?) is the same car they were using to demonstrate each callenge before the competetion. I wouldn't be surprised if it were owned by Goldberg and he used it to drive some of the legs of the race too.

[Damn True]

What was the story on the Honda guys vs. the bus? Was there a reason they had to stop once they bent that pole?

The driving while black segment was interesting. I 1/2 expected to hear the cop say, "You ain't from around here are ya?"

[6'9"Witha69]

Was the car on the flatbed a Mosler or a Noble? For a minute I thought it was the Lotus guys........I was distracted but the wife said the same thing.


The driving while black segment was interesting. I 1/2 expected to hear the cop say, "You ain't from around here are ya?"Yeah, it sucked to see that. I think the only reason they weren't harassed more was all the cameras.

The odd thing was that this took place in Oregon, not some state in the South.

[Damn True]

The odd thing was that this took place in Oregon, not some state in the South.

Having lived along the Oregon coast for a while I can honestly say that it didn't surprise me. That part of Oregon is populated by fishermen and loggers of Finnish, Swede and German extraction and it is the "white-est" place I have ever seen. My first wife was from Astoria, OR. Until we moved to Brooklyn she had never met a black person and the only asians she had contact with were crew from Chinese cargo/fishing boats that pulled into Astoria and shopped for supplies for the ships.

Those guys would be more likely to be pulled over for "driving while black" there than in the town where the Mustang boys were from in 'bama.

[Damn True]

Interesting. If I recall though, the demo car is light color like a silver and had no rear wing and the Mosler/Noble looked rather dark and had a wing. Coulda been the lighting.

If I may ask, how did you guys set-up the suspension in your Charger?! The reason that I ask is that I was so utterly intrigued by how your "40 year-old sled" (as Goldberg put it) smoked that Lotus!

It has always been by contention that the basic 60's-70's Mopar chassis design was among the very best in automotive history. Your outperforming the Lotus was proof positive of that!

I wish you Charger guys Godspeed!!!

[Rich Team11 H/O]

We got around 7-10 mpg depending on the fuel grade, and the altitude which was causing havoc with our car's performance. The engine is a behemoth and thirsty as all heck.

Ill second what Mike said, for the most part everyone was very cool on the show. The Bama boys were real good guys same with the Nissan guys, the Mexicans were hilarious the whole time, so much is being lost to the editing room floor that its really a shame. We traveled along the coast during sunset and saw some of the most amazing vistas that I have ever seen...none of that is being shown. We and the Lambo team tore up the twisties right before hitting the racoon like it was our last day on earth...cut out as well. Team Lambo said that they could not believe how well the Hurst handled and how he was unable to shake us or make us come unglued. In part due to the tires suggested hear on Pro-Touring.com!!! Thanks again guys!


The Mosler is owned by the owners of Bullrun, the SSC is owned by SSC compnay and I guess they were there for puiblicity, they are two completely different cars. The Mosler looks almost like the Lotus, the SSC is about the size of a Diablo, but is even wider than the Murcielago, it uses a Corvette racing engine.

We are all clearly being shaped to the viewers by the editing.

[MrAngry]

BAER Racing all around - 13" discs up front and 11"s in the rear.

Well, the Lambo guys got bounced tonight.

The Chevy and Olds guys are STILL on the teeter-edge of elimination.

Interesting!!!

Thanks. I have another two hours to see how that happens....:drive2:

[Dr.Olds]

Definetly another good episode last night, I really thought the kid in the M3 blew his motor there for a second, as did he. I guess the Lambo guys just had enough and took themselves out? They knew they would've been disqualified for crossing the line on the flatbed, so I suppose he just wanted to cut his losses. Either way, I'm glad to see the muscle cars hanging in there and Mr. Angry and the Charger moved up a spot which is good too. Can't wait for next week now! I wonder if the noise in the Trans-Am that the dad kinda ignored will come back to bite them in the ass later?

[malihoochie]

Z-bugger, you know you cant look on here without watching first and then blame an excited eastcoaster for posting. This is how "we" make up for when sports events start ridiculously late (so the west coast can watch at home) and us eastcoasters have to stay up waaaaay past our bedtimes to see the end of the game. :poke:

[StRacerDuke]

Dude, it took you guys almost two hours to get from Vallejo to Alameda?!?! Did you stop for lunch along the way! Jeez, what took you guys so long?

Another question. Do you stay in the 60-80mph speed range while driving on the highways? If so, why? Is it a rule for the race that I missed somewhere?

[6'9"Witha69]

I am sooooo glad the Lambo guys are gone. Less crying to hear.

Team Chevy is the next to go. The Bel Air just isn't set up to keep them in for the long haul. And how hard is it to stop at Pep Boys or somewhere and get new exhaust gaskets to fix it at night? A lot better than wearing a facemask for the fumes.

Mr. Angry, what rear gears are you running? 3.73's?

Looks like it is starting to be every man for himself.

This show is definitely addicting.

They tried that, they had extra gaskets with them but it didnt work. Must have had warped header flanges or the bolts came loose. They were even looking into swapping out the carburetor, I talked them out of it.

Unfortunately, I have to concur with you here. Those guys are absolutely HORRIBLE at navigation! I suspect those guys will go next week. They are a real hoot, though.

I hate to say this, but I am so looking forward to the Lotus guys getting the boot. Sure, there was some complaining from the Lambo guys, but nothing compared to the Lotus guys! Talk about whiny!!!

[FoxGranadaChuck]

Funny thing is, I told the wife that the only way team Chevy was gonna stay was if the Lambo guys lunched the clutch. Close, but same result. What I don't get, is if the car is in such disrepair that they gave up on the rally, why do a burnout leaving?

[MrAngry]

I run a 3:55s mated to a GearVendors Overdrive unit.

[GT500KR_Vert]

How to you like that GearVendors Overdrive unit? I was thinking of mating it to my C6, it's alot cheaper that buying the $4300 AOD or $$$ Tremec setup.

:hmm: But the REAL question here is: Of all the guys flirting - WHO GETS THE FLAG GIRLS????

[Rich Team11 H/O]

I was thinking the same thing myself.
After that last burnout the car ran no more, couldnt even get out of its own shadow, had to be towed immediatly. His codriver was furious that he killed the car and their chances to win.

:hmm: But the REAL question here is: Of all the guys flirting - WHO GETS THE FLAG GIRLS????

Since everyone is spoken for, I dont think you will ever get that answer :secret:

[Damn True]

lalalalalalalalalalalala, trying to ignore the conversation. Is this weeks episode on the net yet? I can't view spiketv.com from work.

[DusterRT]

Here you go - my suspension set-up is as follows:


• MagnumForce Racing fully adjustable tubular upper control arms – set at –5 degrees camber


-5 degrees..on each side?? Holy cow..I run -2.25 on the front of my FWD car that I DD/autocross and that looks like a lot of camber..I can't imagine -5!!

[FoxGranadaChuck]

After that last burnout the car ran no more, couldnt even get out of its own shadow, had to be towed immediatly. His codriver was furious that he killed the car and their chances to win.

Considering that the car in question was a Lambo, I can very easily understand how and why that co-driver was furious!

[FoxGranadaChuck]

I could be wrong, but that Gear Vendors overdrive unit costs about $4K without labor.

[toxicz28]

I am sooooo glad the Lambo guys are gone.
Is it just me, or did the driver of the Lambo remind anyone else of Scott Peterson???

[Damn True]

Too fat to be peterson, but just as cocky.

Arrg, the new episode is up on spike tv but this damn internet connection in my hotel is too slow.

[GT500KR_Vert]

They are about $2300 + shorten the driveshaft and I can do the install.

I already own the Performace Automatic C6 and it's rated for 800HP.

[Chad-1stGen]

Ya know by that last episode the Lambo guys were beginning to grow on me. I wouldn't want them to win but would rather have seen a few other teams go.

[Damn True]

Watched it last night when I got home from LA.

Whooo, some friction building up in a few of those cars eh?
The bimmer, F-150 and Lotus kids are all getting a bit testy.

Gotta love the fact that the Honda, F-150, and WS6 all purchased for less than $30k are still in it. Lambo, not so much.

I look at the Charger, Olds and Chebby a bit differently. You guys essentially built those cars from scratch. Hardly production vehicles any longer. Proof that you know what the heck you are doing.

[GMachineDartGT]

Mr. Angry's alignment specs are - 1.0 deg NEG camber, 5 deg POS caster, 1/16 total toe....

[FoxGranadaChuck]

My prediction.... BMW guys are gone this tues.

Either them or the Lotus guys.

[Dr.Olds]

I would like to see either the BMW or Lotus get kicked out, but if the Chevy keeps up the way they did on the last show, they're not gettin too far unless they get super lucky! I'd like to see them stay though, they're funny as hell. It looks like the bimmer kids get a big fight or something next episode, should be interesting!

I noticed on the latest promos for Bullrun that the Trans Am gets taken through its paces. I wonder how it will do.

Seems like a solid car. I would guess it would do well. The young lady is definitly not as confident behind the wheel as the father though.

[XCESSIV]

What about the party tent with the flag girls give details and did you have to sleep behind your rides every night:seizure:

[Dr.Olds]

Yeah I was thinking about that too....did you guys sleep in your cars or hotels or something?

[FoxGranadaChuck]

That is DEFINITELY true! The daughter was almost as funny as the Mexicans were at times!

[FoxGranadaChuck]

I was wondering the exact same thing myself.

[FoxGranadaChuck]

My prediction, for what it is worth: I think that team F-150 will take home the cash.

What say you?!

[Asia]

I want the Olds team to win! At first, I wanted the Nissan team to win, until they made one of the flag girls fall on her sweet ass. Boo!

[Chad-1stGen]

Can't wait to see the next episode. I have a hard time believing the mexicans will make it another episode without getting cut. Only way I see it happening is another team suffers a mechanical failure.

They are helarious but they can't navigate their way out of a wet paper bag! I read Andy's (I think is his name) blog from the spiketv link and he described it well when he said they are friends with half of San Francisco now that they have asked them all for directions.

[Damn True]

In their defense, San Francisco is probably the single most jacked up city in the country in which to drive. The city map looks like it was laid out by a blind, retarded, sadistic bike messenger. There is a 3 mile section of Market St. (one of the busiest streets in the city) where you cannot make a left. Anywhere. One way streets without corresponding streets in the opposite direction. Street names routinely change, the signage is different in various neihborhoods. Most charming of all, there is no way across the city by any means other than signaled surface streets. No parkway, expressway no highway.

When Mr. Angry and Big Mike were shown headed west across the north bay I was litteraly screaming at the laptop. The best route would have been South from Vallejo, over the Benicia Bridge and onto Hwy 80. Through the city was the worst possible path. But if you aren't from here there is no way you could know that.

Mr. Angry took 19th st. when they got off the Golden Gate bridge. I passed that same route yesterday. 51 stoplights in 6 miles ( Seriously. ) between the bridge and Hwy 280 (where they backed up to get on the ramp).

The city is an absolute NIGHTMARE to drive in. I have lived in the Bay Area my entire life and I still get confused driving there. I loathe going into the city for any reason, other than going to a Giants game to which I take the train.

Can't come down on the nav skills of the guys that got messed up in the city. It's bad. Really bad.

Really bad.Nevermind that the right lane on Market street is a bus lane and almost impossible to cross legally, especially the first few times you read the signs. Get stuck and that street and you will end up on the wrong side of town.

[zbugger]

Yeah, I do have to admit that it's a pain in the ass do drive in the City. It almost hurts having to drive up there, but it helps when you have a good sense of direction. I'm lucky that I have that, but in S.F., you ALWAYS need a map. Hell, most of the people I know that live up there get lost simply going around town. I do have to admit though that they also figure out where they are pretty quick, as do I. Too bad you guys couldn't have called. I know a couple quick ways through the City. And yeah, I wouldn't have chosen that route to Alameda. Worst route ever.

Mr. Angry, when you guys almost missed that ramp, you were about two blocks from a fellow P-T.com member's house. That area has some of the worst drivers EVER!!!!! I'm almost shocked you made it through there.

[FoxGranadaChuck]

Part of me really wants the Olds guys to win because they are such underdogs!

The intersting part about this is that the Mexicans hail from LA!!!

San Fran... ugh... Jim is REALLY good navigator and honestly he got through the city, but man did it suck. I really do think it was designed by the blind as there is simply no rhyme or reason for the way the traffic patterns are laid out... it's terrible.

Tonights episode should be good... people will be sliding their cars through plate glass and there is a VERY interesting twist that will make everyone go, hmmm......

NO MAS! NO MAS!

[MrAngry]

Not me... no way, no how... luckily we came in second in the first leg and got to put people in the challenge. Honestly, those guys were NUTS running their cars through that. If we did have to do it I would've had Jim fastball a fire extinguisher through the glass or something but I would've never run the Charger through that....

Dude, have you ever been to Boston? It makes SF look as efficient as a german train system. I grew up in SF/Bay and recently move to Boston and can say without a doubt, Boston takes the cake for the most F-ed up city/street layouts. I have friends in NY that refuse to visit because they fear they will never figure out how to get out of Boston.

[6'9"Witha69]

How did you guys (Charger) get 2nd? It looked like team Chevy was 2nd behind the F-150.

Someone needed to tell Mr. Alsop to use the hand brake on the Trans Am.

Team BMW showed real class by forfeiting so they could be together through the loss of family.

From the previews it appears I am losing respect for the F-150 boys. What are the rules about speeding anyways?

I can't wait for next Tuesday now.

[Damn True]

The only times I've been to Boston I was riding with a friend who was local. So you may very well be right about Boston. I've driven in every other major city in the US and can say that S.F. is the worst of them. Houston though has worse drivers.


The routes were a little boring last night. But what the heck can you do in NV?

I was glad that the Bimmer kid did the right thing finally.

Is Alsop digging his own grave with his tactics?

I'm still rooting for the New Yawkuhs and the Mexicans.

[dropit69]

yeah can you elaberate on the rules of speeding..i remember the first episode that Goldberg said if you get tickets itll count against ya and if your impouded you are kicked out..cant find official rules on it anywhere?

[96Z28SS]

Oh Boston isn't that bad. I've driven in worse cities.

[96Z28SS]

The F-150 guys need to get beat.
Whats with them recording everyones speedo and ratting them out.
Can't wait for next week.

[MrAngry]

First the speeding rules... we had to stay within' a prudent and reasonable speed, basically 5-10mph over was ok anything over was a penalty.

Also, as far as us (Charger) seeming to come in 3rd... it's all editing (can't really go into it...)

The other thing you will see in the upcoming episodes is that teams begin to become more cut throat... now we're halfway through and the possibility of the 200k is pretty real so it definitely gets more exciting...

[Bookm]

I think it's cool that it's getting more competitive. They're runnin' for big bucks! The buddy-buddy thing HAS to break down sooner or later. If I saw others getting away with breaking the rules, I'd raise heck too.

I wish Goldberg would explain the speeding rules better. Being a veteran speeder, I have a well honed ability to recognize when it's safe(ish) to get on 'er! And with this much money on the line, I'd want to take advantage of this ability (ie. fast in valleys, slow over hills and curves, latch on to a "rabbit" (another speeder) and your golden (watch for pacing from behind), etc., etc.

But I'm sure it would make filming impossible because your forcing the camera cars to speed also. If your forced to drive to suite the camera cars, then I can see a little bit of "un-reality" TV goin' on here.

I liked the idea of a show that leaned towards the outlaw aspect of driving, and I do like the aggresive "mood" of the show, but I'm having trouble convincing myself that I wouldn't hit some healthy speeds quite often. Also, you shouldn't be penalized for getting a ticket. You're only "charged" with the offence, not "convicted". You should have the right to fight the charge in court. But then how could the show control the rules about tickets? Maybe I just shouldn't think so hard about it, and just enjoy the show for what it is! (LOL) =)

I would expect to see more hostile feelings being exibited as time goes on. I hope next season they only accept COOL cars, not a big white F150.

Oh Yah... it's a good thing that all four cars picked for the "glass" challenge had hand-brakes. I would have loved to see that Olds try to slam the foot break to slide around! hehe

[Ralph LoGrasso]

Someone needed to tell Mr. Alsop to use the hand brake on the Trans Am.

And to take of the traction control! The ASR systems in 4th gens are completely useless in performance driving situations; it renders the car entirely incapable of anything even resembling a controlled-performance-maneuver.

The kid in the Bimmer can't drive his car worth a **** either, it was nice to see him forfeit to be with his buddy, though.

[TRILOGYZ28]

is that Mike Alsops T/A right beside yours ?

Thank goodness Andre's Olds is as large as it is. Otherwise he'd have no room for all the snazzy outfits he brought along. If nothing else, the man is a snappy dresser.

[Rich Team11 H/O]

We had a $500 over-weight penalty on the plane :)

If we did have to do it I would've had Jim fastball a fire extinguisher through the glass or something but I would've never run the Charger through that....

Fwew! That would have broke my heart! I can't believe the Lotus dudes did it though, I would like to see what damage it caused.

Ok, so here are the teams that need to go next, in my order.

1)team F-150
2)team Trans-am
3)team Honda
4)team Lotus

So it seems Mr. Angry has some slick moves with the flag girls there. Nice...

What actually happens when a team gets eliminated? Do you actually leave at that exact moment? Would suck to have to get in your car after all that driving in the middle of bumf*ck Nevada at night about who knows how many thousands of miles away from home.

[Leader One]

Man I love Bullrun. It is my newest TV program addiction. The producer and Goldberg are geniuses for creating that show and for the fantastic camera shots.

Congrats to all participants making it onto the show and I could only wish to do the same. I will keep my eyes glued to my widescreen each and every Tuesday till the end. It is killing me to see which team ultimatley wins!

[TheMonkey]

i'm not sure why so many people are giving the bmw driver a thumbs up. imho, he did not do the right thing. his partners dad just lost his brother suddenly and wanted his son, the nephew, home for the particulars. it was time to go home, the kid was shaken, and his dad requested his return. then his "friend" tells him that he shouldn't go home, and he needs to lead his own life? he keeps pushing hard to keep him there, all the way until he was in tears & nearly hysterical. i did not see that this kid did the right thing while it was still a choice.

I mostly concur. I think that the BMW guys should have abdicated when the news of the co-driver's parent passing away became known.

On the other hand, the BMW team abdicating in the manner and fashion that it did was quite a class act, IMHO.

yes, perhaps you are right. at his age, i was an idiot :Alchy:

in fact, some of my idiocism has survived with age, so who knows what i would have done.

anyhow, there was a moment when the wingman on team chebby laughed and his laugh sounded EXACTLY like Captain Chaos. even if this show wasn't some sort of derivative of Cannonball Run, i would have thought that laugh sounded like Captain Chaos.

on another note, was anyone else impressed when the dad from team TA kept his cool, diagnosed, and fixed the broken transmission line in 10:xx minutes? was there any support from the sag wagons?

fun show.

I'm glad all you guys are enjoying the show....I tell you even though I lived it its still very exciting for me because I dont know what the other teams did and went through till I see it every Tuesday with all of you.

When a team got eliminated they were sent off to LA and sequestered and supervised...if they went home everyone would know the outcome.

It was quite an emotional event the way team BMW had to leave.

Alsop had no help, he fixed it himself on the spot.

Rich,

Do you know if the 10 sepisodes will be available for purchase on DVD 's anytime in the future? I tried to store all 5 episodes on my DVR but I didn't have enough memory to store them and record the remaining 5 shows. I would love to have all 10 episodes on DVD. I could watch it enough to warrant a need for a new DVD player because I'm sure I'd where it out just from watching the DVD so much.

I'm still amazed on how well the episodes were filmed - the whole series is a work of art how it is/was done.

All the episodes will eventually be released on DVD. I speak frequently to the producer and this is something they are definitely going to do. They quality of the production was really top notch. I know that when I got there I was simply blown away by all that was going on. Without being there it's difficult to fathom the actual scope of this project. There was like 250 crew, 85 trucks, helicopters, chase vans, equipment... etc... etc... etc... Honestly if more like a movie shoot then a TV show. Plus they then had to move EVERYTHING to next location before we got there... it was pretty crazy.
