      +"slowly accumulating parts to make the bird a pro-touring machine" better accelerate your purchase and be dead serious in your project if you want to compete with ferrari enzo, lambo murcielago and porsche carrera gt on the street, some of those toys have well over
      $ 200000-$ 500000 in performance parts chosen and tested by engineers used to a racing environnement.

      good luck if you want to compete unless you drive a low profile vehicule that can dissapears from police radar.

      I hear ya, but isn't everybody supposed to follow the rules of the road on those runs? So to me, if thats the case, speed and the most expensive go fast goodies really don't make that big a deal. I understand there would be the occasional high speed blast, but for the most part I think its about navigation, fuel economy, and outwitting your opponents.

      It's what they say, but if you aren't cruising at 100+ for long periods of time, have great range and great nav skills not to mention police detection and evasion techniques you are going to be far from the front of the pack.

      ah, I can do that in my Dodge Ram, although the range won't be too great. Man, I had no idea the entry fees were that high, holy chit

      Exactly! Most you have to submit your info first and then they invite you to pay up. There are that many trying to get in!

      I am not surprised about that.

      Entering a Dodge Ram pick-up truck sure sounds REALLY cool!

      LOL,... sure. (chuckle)

      Tonight we learn who's... um... even richer!! (as most "bullrunners" appear pretty well off anyway ). I know there's been some bad blood between participants, but I hope in the end everyone realizes this is just a fun thing to do with neat cars. I'd save your "long-term" animosity for dweebs in Smartcars, and get back to a positive vibe about the car hobby in general.

      Watching this show has given me the kick in the ass necessary to pull my old Goat out from under the tarp (after sitting for 7 years!) and get 'r back to her former glory!! The amount of info and parts availability found on the internet has really opened my eyes!! Reading about the Chargers components, and the realization that the mid-70's muscle of the Olds is now worth restoring, has me focused again, like when I bought it 26 years ago. My daughter is 16 next year, and the Alsops have inspired me to "get it together" so WE can do neat stuff together, too.

      So thanks to all the drivers who took the time to post on this forum. I really don't care who's car is faster than who's. You're all out there throwing these cars around like they're meant to be, and that's just plain cool!!

      I heartily concur on all points. Watching Bullrun has got me fired up again to finish my 'Coug.
