Bullrun Episode #9 of 10

Another great episode from Bullrun.

Planes, boats, and automobiles! This episode has the Bullrunners leaving Miami after a night of partying at the Versace Mansion. After a quick pit stop at CEC Wheels' newest location in Miami, Claus decides to take an alternative mode of transportation. Not to be outdone Team Reicke and Team Texas join forces to do everything in their power to keep Claus from beating them.

StreetFire's very own blogger, Annabelle makes an appearance at 4:39 representing Team Twins!

Check out Episode #9.

In case you were slacking this week, here is Episode #8.

Bullrun Rally 2007 Episode #6

Bullrun Rally 2007 Episode #6

More action courtesy of Bullrun as we catch up with the 2007 rally en route from Montreal to Key West.

We last left the Bullrunners at their lunchtime stop in Concord, VA, where a hearty BBQ lunch was followed by a tire-smoking drift demo, just the sort of dessert that every petrolhead loves.

The teams then head South, again, bound for Savannah, GA, a genteel town that's never seen the likes of this lot before.

Progress is hampered by seemingly every State Trooper being out on patrol, plus a few unmarked cars that are trying to sneak up on our supposedly unsuspecting Bullrunners. However, plenty of counter measures (plus a relay of phone calls) alerts the pack to the wolf in their midst.

Meanwhile, Team Texas' Richard Rawlings & Dennis Collins are flying into Savannah from LA. Having shattered the cross-country record, they're now intent on beating all the rallyers to the Georgia checkpoint, too.

Back out on the road, Team Audi thinks back roads are the key to coming in first...until they realize they're nearly out of gas. But the prize for competing with true Bullrun spirit goes to David from Team Make-A-Wish who's just paid $2,500 to get bailed out of jail in Virginia. Ah well, at least he got a nice commemorative photo wearing his prison stripes and handcuffs!

It's not a race, it's a rally...but if you get caught speeding, try telling that to the nice officer with the handcuffs.

Bullrun Episode #4



The Bullrunners continue their journey South, peeling out of Vineyard 49 on Long Island and headed for Atlantic City.

Unsurprisingly, Claus in the TechArt Cayenne arrives in 1st place, having caught the early ferry. Behind him, Bullrunners jostle for position, attempting to beat traffic, stay ahead of the law and head in the right direction. Yeah, the whole 'Head South' thing can get confusing.

Meanwhile, Team Texas' Richard Rawlings and Dennis Collins have been tearing across the country and, at around 5am East Coast time, they make a triumphant phone call to Jay Riecke to call in their $50,000 bet. Their transcontinental time? A ridiculously-fast 31:59.

Morning in Atlantic City means bleary eyes and sore heads all round (boy, those blue rinse old ladies in A.C. sure know how to party...) as everyone heads for a checkpoint at Bullrun National Park. Alas, Team Lotus and Team CEC both fall prey to the cops and Team Riecke 2 just can't seem to find the right road.

A quick pit stop and the cavalcade heads for Staunton, VA. This small town ain't seen nothing like this before and all the locals pack the streets to welcome Bullrun to town. They're rewarded by Mardi Gras beads, thongs & t-shirts thrown from the top of a Hummer and a night of partying they're likely to remember for years to come.

Bullrun Episode #3


We've been getting a lot of anticipation for a new Bullrun episode and here it is! Watch as Mr. Angry gets well....angry when another contestant rear-ends his Charger and busted by the cops- all the while pushing the limits of fuel and time to catch the leaders. Claus continues his winning ways by convincing the event staff to give him checkpoint cards early and driving his Cayenne 150+MPH!

BTW I chose the image above because your truly, ksingh, of StreetFire is in it!

Recognize the Trans Am below? It's the one and only Team Trans am from the Bullrun Reality Show. Mike and Morgan Alsop took their WS6 to Montreal to compete in the rally that inspired the TV show. I know that the rally didn't go without its glitches for Team Trans Am as I personally took the car to get the transmission rebuilt overnight while in Miami!

Bullrun Rally 2007 Episode #2


The Bullrunners leave the starting line in Montreal and head for Key West. Watch as the Crazy Texan, Richard Rawlings and his partner Dennis Collins take a $50,000 bet from fellow Bullrunner Jay Riecke to beat the NYC - LA record set by Dave Heinz and Dave Yarborough back in 1979 during the final running of the original Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash.

The teams head across the border for their first stop in New Hampshire and then on to Boston to party with the ladies from Girls Gone Wild! What a way to end the first night on the most glamorous automobile rally in the world!

Don't forget to check out some of the photos from the Bullrun Gallery.
