[dropit69]

Hey Mike welcome to the site great to have more Bullruners on here ..im actually not to far from you on the illinos side...good luck in the run hope you do post on here

[Rich Team11 H/O]

Oh yeah! Do not forget that most things you see are edited and cut and spliced pretty well. The show is what they want you to see. Their is a whole lot of crap going on to cause what you see on the episode. As far as the lies I told the brothers it was true however, They dont show the fact that the evening before I gave them some advice and promised them it was good so they took my advice and it saved them from making a big mistake going thru the mountains. Or the fact that they were getting ready to pull all of the front brakes off of the vehicle because they were loosing brake fluid. Well they were claiming that because their was fluid on the inside of that rim it had to be leaking their. I told them no way I reminded them that they had rotated their tires and rims and the rim came from the right rear and helped them pull of the rear drum to expose the real culprit, the leaking brake cylinder to which I helped them with. Before we went on that leg where I misled the brothers they said they would contact me and help me when I called them they acted like they couldnt hear me and I said Ok game on thats when I lied to them that way they knew I knew. When we arrived I told them plainly I lied to them on purpose and that all bets were off. They laughed and said we know. That is why when I saw all that was written on here I got in and placed the comment the way I did to diffuse the situation with out all of the BS. Hell Rich thought it was the shows attorney Matt Laviano... funny stuff because what I put their was the truth and he knew it. RICH I AM COMING TO BOSTON COME UP WITH YOUR BROTHER AND PARTY SATURDAY EVENING!

Mike

There is some truth to what you say but you are mistaken about the challenge with the Charger, they did have 3 attempts. One official run, one failed official run that Tim then came over to us and asked if it was okay if team Charger re-ran since they stalled immediately out of the box (unable to even make it up the entrance ramp), to which we said yes, and finally the run just for fun.

Mike A. did try to help us with the brakes, but Mike you are mistaken also about this next thing, we NEVER purposely failed to respond to you, our Nextel may have been dead (happened more than once we had a short in at the cigarette lighter a few times due to the stupid Keno light), so you are mistaken there, and you know the walkies had very limited range, don’t know if you tried to get us that way. There is only one team that we pretended to not hear and intentionally ignored that was team Honda and only because Dirty Rice had promised to help us into California only to then ignore us, so we returned the favor (this was all captured on TV). However, remember we ended up helping you on that same leg to the air base. Remember getting into the base, Morgan asked which way to go, and we told you guys to follow us after we had lost the Charger by the docks (they did show that part on TV as well).

BTW trust me on this one Matt does not know all that happened on the show he and I had a few conversations that made that all too apparent to me after the show. Coupled with the bar1 I thought to myself, "has facts mixed up and ‘bar’ as name as in bar-association has to be Matt". He may or may not have known about our approval of team Charger's restart, but its non-issue, I am just not happy about them reneging on our agreement, then bad mouthing us and forming an alliance and conspiring to get us eliminated with someone else when we are neighbors, and after all we were more than fair with them.

We cannot make it to Boston; we have prior commitments. Have a blast!

Forum, we all thank you guys for all the support and interest, all said and done this thing was insane and a blast.....I would do it again in a second (but I would not trust any red Trans-Ams or Black Chargers! )

[Chad-1stGen]

Well I finally had a chance to watch episode 9. Wow I agree with whoever called it a nail biter!

What a lame way for the Charger to go out but sounds like the float thing may have been acting up for a while because I still don't buy the exhaust leak thing.

Really cool to have 3 of the teams posting on here too! It's cool to hear that Mike Alsop was helping work on or give sound mechanical advice to the other teams. I too thought he might give the time bonus to the Charger team. Really if Mike hadn't gone for that bonus the show made it look like the Charger would of beaten the olds to it.

Finally, what did the Charger run in the off the record attempt at the road course? I first read comments only 2 seconds faster than the Olds and then that it was 45 or 48 seconds?

Rock on guys and I hope either the Olds or Trans Am team wins the $200K but I have a bad feeling about the Ford guys. My dislike of that team is simply that it is a stock truck. I wish the show allowed for more emphasis placed on driving skills.

Yes it will be in July this run is televised in 54 other countrys live. Just not live in the US.

Morgan is on the starting line right now I am getting pictures sent to me as things develope. It LOOKS AWESOME. The T/A is one of the very few american cars in the rally. I guess people are all over her their. CRAZY! She will wind up in Boston this evening for a party hosted by girls gone wild. If you are anywhere around their this evening I will be flying in to meet her and head out to the next destination with her. Stay tuned. We will be updating the whereabouts.

Welcome aboard Mike A, sounds like you guys did well on the show. I used to have a 4th gen LT1 T/A as well, it was a fun ride. What mods to the LS1 do you have? Seemed like a cam, exhaust and tune?

Mike M. I don't care what anybody says, that Charger is just plain badass, when you guys got booted and turned on the HID's it looked sinister. Have you thought about converting to EFI after the show?

Rich good luck to you guys as well. I think it would be cool to line up the cars at say an auto-x or 1/4 mile to see what they can really do against eachother.

Is it me or are the specs on the cars all wrong? The F-150 has 400hp and a 3" lift? Seemed stock to me.

Very cool..... as for the girls gone wild video she better only be found in the crowd. NOT A PARTICIPANT!!!
