Alright. If you want to keep it a secret until you're in NYC, so be it. I can wait.

When you visit Mike, you should get some Mr. Angry Inc. Decals from him. I have some and they're pretty cool. The smaller ones are static-cling decals and won't harm the paint.

I have a Mr. Angry Inc. Shirt, hat, 12 inch decal and three small Mr. Angry Inc. Static cling decals.
 

Do you have the splatter Tee? That one looks awesome! I just have the standard one that reads "Get Angry" on the back.

Those teaser pics sure do tug at the imagination! Sometimes I don't like how the coding on this site is so picky when it comes to posting pictures. It took me a while before I figured it out.

Excellent! The car is looking awesome!

Can I ask a favour Ted? When you pull up to the start line and get your first route card, can you do a burnout?

Hard to believe but its finally here after a full year of planning and building we are ready and the time has come for James and I to head to NY and begin the insane party that is BullRun 2009.

Im headed there tomorrow and James arrives on the 8th, Lucy also arrives on the 8th and James and I will spend the 2 days before we begin gettin reacquainted with her.

The complete rebuild of Lucy so she can not only hold her own with the world of high end exotics (Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche) but now kick some ass is complete and has far exceeded my wildest dreams. WEGNER MOTOR SPORTS 601HP, 525LB tourqe, state of the art air ride suspension, Wilwood brakes, forgeline wheels, the list goes on and on..I have posted some teaser pics but once in NY will post some full car shots that will blow you away.

Please track us on FB as we will be doing nightly uploads on the days events. We have been asked to host the BullRun 2009 for www.pro-touring.com and their 18,000 members to follow along...good thing I have a professional host as a co driver...

All you twitters out there can follow my updates @ TedBarrett Twitter.com.

Thats it for now, wish us luck (and little face to face time with the various police agencies of the U.S).

T.

Good Luck Ted!  Have fun and be safe! I wonder if you're the first bullrunner to fly into New York (not including those who live in NY)

Do you have a link to your Facebook page?

Ted,
 
You and your team did one hell of a nice job and you guys deserve the Merit Trophy and a HUGE pat on the back for perseverance. The Sunday night I bumped into you guys down in Virginia you all looked really worn down. I’m really glad that you guys got Lucy to fly right from that point forward and I’m looking forward to see the video of the car in action.
 
GOOD JOB Team Prodigy!

Nice car.  I'm sorry that we missed seeing it after NYC.  I think we left before you arrived in Staunton.
