That sucks. I'd rather see a bug than a wagon.

I wonder if there is a 300zx or 350 that made it this round.. John was sounding like we had a good chance when we talked. Then I heard nothing.  If there isn't i'd think that one of us Z drivers has a good chance for S4.

I think you could make season 3 if they don't have a Z car in this season. The Bus is going to do fine. If the motor was built right. The brakes must have been upgraded. Still it is going to handle like a pig in any road course challenges. That is going to be its weak spot.

Well, I guess I have to whoot whoot for the VW even if it took my chance at ever running this event..

Did you notice the Lambo blowing steam!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

John was fired half way through the casting... FYI

Sorry..

Man, Aaron, that sucks! I hope they don't write you guys off because of the bus... that would just plain suck.

Ya I know that John got fired. I'm assuming that it was for making too many people get their hopes up lol.

I would think that two classic VW cars in the run wouldn't help add new viewers... There are a ton of great cars on the pick list and it would be a while before they dip into the VW bin again....

Just my thoughts. But thanks for the props.. At least we get to see a few cars get tea bagged by a 67? Micro Bus! I think I've seen that bus before? Can't put my finger on it.

THE ORIGINAL CLASSIC TEAM VW & MISTER HAPPY!

I knew, I knew this rig....

Bill Tsagrinos’s 1967 Micro 13 window bus he's from Las Vegas NV... I seen this bus at a couple of shows when I go down there. Very nice. Its powered by 2270cc Type 4 130 Dynoed HP at the wheels. 4 wheel 944 Disc brakes. 

Bragging Rights

• 1/4 Mile16.8 sec @ 89 mph
• 0-607 sec

Major Upgrades

It's a very nice rig for a bus... I still could whip this bitch running in reverse. Its a Classic VW and it's in my camp and I guess i'll giggle my teeth out every time it wins a leg. And god help them if they trailer queen the damn thing! I will be the first to rip them a new one....

-TWO TEAMS FROM LAS VEGAS- If it was about money I would have gotten my car to LA on my Dime.. Whatever.

I wonder if anyone from the east cost is in this round..

This is what I saw.

1967 13 window mico bus - Bill is from LAS VEGAS

TOMCAT - Barry/Matt are from Auburn, AL

DART - Tony/Paul are from Lakeside, CA

SOLSTICE - Theresa is from Las Vegas

MUSTANG - (MODERN)

VET?

YELLOW LAMBO -

Mr.ANGRY? (again) look at the top of the  row of cars of the left.

Looks like your in my boat also. That just sucks eggs.

I now I will run a 370z in Season 3....

That bus has the same paintjob as the Sol!!! Must have gotten the paintjob at the same place in vegas!!!

You can put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig.... I like Team Solstice paint they had it first. Can you tell I'm being a lot pissy because I didn't make this seasons cast!

FOR GODS SAKES A BUS BEAT ME! I can play that rig like, like John Hollmes riding a boat load on nun's! IT"S A BUS! A BUS!

I know, that just sucks... I think your bug is 100% cooler (not to knock the bus, it's cool for what it is) but man...

lol. I hear ya man. I wouldn't be happy either. I guess they figured a bus would be interesting to watch. I personally would not haave picked a bus. How the hell is a bus going to do the challenges? That's just silly casting right there.

I could whup the Bus even more than squashing the stinkbug!

Wanted to tell you bout the Bus Aaron, but the rules said I couldn't. I will say the guys are top notch, and that thing moved for a Bus. At least with a real commercial I can "almost" talk about stuff lol. You guys have no idea what this season is in store for.....

lol I'd love knowing and not being able to tell anyone. That's power lol I'm good at keeping secrets.

I assume you can talk about the episodes once they air?

Yea, as they air I can talk about stuff, I think I might start a youtube blog like Mr. Angry

"Yea, as they air I can talk about stuff, I think I might start a youtube blog like Mr. Angry"

Doooooo it!

I would. I'd have a website up telling about preparation and everything you can talk to about up until you started the run. Then as they air I'd update the site with ifo about each episode and your thoughts about each show. And don't forget lots of pictures (I hope you brought a camera with you).

Post the videos on youtube and embed them in the site. You can get a lot of publicity and opportunities from that. I can help ya out with a site if you need. I have plenty of free time lately and I don't mind doing it.

You know how the rumor mill works. You just hear these things  :)

Tony,

I know you would have if you could have. I hope it did a good job. That bus is great I've seen it before the motor is a type 4 and that isn't a  grandma's motor. Not one hippy would even get within 2 miles of that much HP.. I'm going to enjoy the bus stomping around the country. People are going to see what 40 years of racing DNA are cappable of. And its a bus that is going to sckool um! 

Aaron

Yeah but it's still a bus. Where's the audition video I never saw theres.

It's going to be a Sckool BUS!!!!

yeah i was wondering how you guys heard john got fired.  so what they just let all his applicants all fall off the planet with him then right ?

That sounds about right.

I'm curious if any of the people that John contacted made the show. I haven't heard of anyone that was cast by John.

Anyone that was on the show... Who was your casting director?

Yeah I'm intrested in knowing if anybody from John made it. He was my cating director also.

i wonder what he did to get fired.   what a dick head !

I heard he became the President of Turkey

I heard he became the President of Turkey

John got fired?

yeah thats the rumor, john got fired and all his applicants were left in the dark.   what a dick...

YOU GOTTA BE S H I T T I N G me right?

nope  thats what everyone is saying

We have found out just what happened to  the "JOHN" (SPIKE TV - Sabatour) 

I have just found that one of the Producers filmed the whole thing. John was looking at porn on the internet while pranking teams and getting their hopes up. While trying to destroy SEASON 2 on SPEED... They caught up to him at his home in LA. 

Now that is funny...

Jeez, you'd think someone from the BR crew would have posted something . ..

rumours rumours rumours, I am John

I wanna know what the eff happened to all my personal Information then.. they could have gotten a freakin house with the amount of information they have on me and my co driver....

Good Point!

e-bay

From what I heard all the "castees" were distributed to other casting directors, no worries mates

I paid $10 for it, I will sell it to you for $20

You got jacked. I got my copy for Tree Fiddy!

If that were true, you'd think we'd have gotten a call or something from the folks who got the distribution?

Ain't life a bitch.

you guys all read my story.  Obviously they didn't call.  LOL

 No call here either.  Hopefully we will get a crack at season 3 now...

Im already in. Casting started 2 weeks ago.I got to go hit the next pit stop now.
