Bullrun

[Damn True]

Fun show.. I was routing for the Charger.

They lost but wern't beaten.. So long at the F150 doesn't win.. I'm pulling for team Trans Am at this point.

Hey, us LSx'ers have to stick together. ;)

Agree on the "lost but not beaten" thing. I got no problem with the F-150 guys. Certainly not the coolest vehicle in the race, but they are playing the game to win and doing well.

Someone above asked for predictions. Here's mine:

a) I would think that the recent receipt of of $200k would soften any bitterness, so I don't think Andre Dice-Clay and his bro in the Olds won.

Which leaves the T/A and the F-150.

Both of the F-150 guys are going on the real Bullun. One with Mike in the Charger (I would love to be on that road-trip!) and the other with Morgan. Which suggests to me that they might have $100k each in their pockets and aren't worried about a week off of work. Mike Alsop is skipping the Bullrun to work.

So my guess is that the F-150 boys win, with the T/A in second and the Olds in third.




So Mike, (Mr. Angry) what was it that caused the Charger to stall? Carb? Ignition? Was it altitude/jetting related?

The olds guys seemed "bitter" about the Charger and insulting of the car, but in truth it was a better car in every concievable way that I saw. The only think the Olds did better was not to stall in the parking garage.

They also complain a LOT about being put against the Lotus.. Hey, someone had to be put against the Lotus and it's not Team Chargers fault that the Lotus was also a better car than the olds in that competition.

I concur! Remember, when the Charger had to go up against the Lotus, the Charger won handily!
