BULLRUN II (SPEED): A KICK ASS LINE UP!
Category: Automotive

     Well well... Time is getting short and Andy and the post production staff have got to be working over-time. To get us the best possible show they can as the air date quickly approaches. (FEBRUARY '09)

      If you haven't heard of the Bullrun. Then you most likely watch PBS and shouldn't drive ever because cars are not just for transportation.They are an escape and Bullrun serves it up right. So let me explain quickly. The Bullrun for those that are new to my blog is a combination of skill and long haul driving challenges. Speed TV has picked up the show for a fresh start and a new look from the reports I have heard.

     In this season they up'ed the dice. Still offering $200,000 in cash and prizes just like in season one. But they have had a little more time to come up with some wild challenges for this years teams. I don't know just exactly what they are but they are suppose to be able to drop my jaw.. (Which is going to be a little tough as I am tough guy to please). Still if any Season can, this one will. - I would bet on it.

     Here are the details as I know them now and I think casting did a fantastic job on this group of people and cars. A few of these teams are very well know to me and have been working a long time (2years) to get a chance at this race. Let me start by listing them and then on to the rest of the group as I know it right now. I might get a few details wrong. So don't throw any stones at me, please. If you got anything that corrects my mistakes give it up and I will adjust my blog! 

THE LINE UP - SEASON II BULLRUN (SPEED)

1. Team Dart - Paul and Tony are a father and son team that has been on the bullrun forums for as long as me and know that it takes a good car and lots of skill to make it to the final challenge. These two guy are to be watched. They have thought out ever aspect of a Bullrun event. Even changed up a few thing to throw off anyone that might have listen to them over the years.

2. Team Solstice - Theresa and Tony these two are a wife and husband team out of Las Vegas NV. They are big into cars they own a sign shop in town and are two of the nicest car fans you can know. Theresa is smart as a tack and can out drive most other teams in her sleep. Tony is always laughing and ready for a challenge. Great family

3. Team Avalanche - Bear (Barry) and Matt Friends I know Bear as Tomcat_176 he is another superfan that has been in the weeds talking about his chance of becoming a Team in the next bullrun. Well he did it. This guy even took his finals early to be ready for the casting call. He had a dream of driving in the season and he made that cut. If he is in your tail mirror you aren't going to shake him off. This team is determination born of god.  

4.  Team VW Bus -  Bill and George these guys are brothers that know their Volkwagon !@#$ and can't wait to inform you of the finer details of the ride and how to repair one if needed.(with a Leatherman no less) Their ride is a demon wrapped in a cute bus package. This bus impressed several of the other teams as it delivered at every turn. Its running a Porsche type 4 motor and is all Billrun. Smile your going to get played by this team.   

5. Team Lexus- Brooke and Amanda this is the girl team. What else do you want to know.. I think that these girls did a whole lot better than the last team of ladies. I can't prove anything so I won't tell you where I think they finished. But they aren't going to let you down. To cute to do that!

6. Team 'Vette - Elvis and Steve don't know these guy. Elvis is a Production designer and Steve isn't. I don't really know anything about them or the 2001 Corvette with lambo doors. Can't wait to see the behind the scene's video. This team knows the camera is rolling and should deliver a performance trip of a lifetime.

7. Team Camaro - Brook and Wade Friends that build, drive, and race cars. This car isn't a 1969 lead sled that only does straight lines its a full on modern music machine! I wouldn't let the sound of this team get under your skin or they just might rub your nose in it. Boom Boom  

8. Team Pantera - Jason and ?  this guy(s) almost made the last cut on Spike but were cut at the last moment. Bet that stung however they must have left a taste in Andy and Davids mouth because here they are! Showing off that Pantera for Speed and us. These cars are built for every possible race you can imagine. So having one in this years run is going to be fun.  Very much ready to drive the piss out of his car! 

These last few teams I just don't know anything about... Nothing so I will update this part once I know a little more about them. I guess its like Christmas not fully knowing what gifts lay under that tree.

9. Team Mistu Lancer Evolution -

10. Team Ferrari -

11. Team Gt500 SuperSnake -

12. Team Porsche - 

      These teams are all worthy of taking the checkered flag this February. Only one is going to take the winner circle and I don't wish for any teams to be the first to go but someone will and someone will take it all. That is racing.

      As we ready our TV's for the Premier of the Bullrun on the SPEED Channel. Try to get to know these Great Teams before the start and you will enjoy their trip even more.  And who knows you might even be inspired to reach for a chance at taking home the checkered flag yourself. I know I am looking forward to my chance to win. 

TEAM VW & MISTER HAPPY!
