I am going to be doing something that most likely not help my chances of getting to run in season three of the Bullrun show. Still I thought that I should point out a few of the B-club profiles that I would like to see on the show. These are fans like myself that have a passion for the rally. They have arguably helped make me one of the best known of the B-runners. As Andy D. gets ready to start casting again I thought I would  do something to show them that I appreciate the support that they have shown my team over these past few years. 

I know that I might hurt some B-runners feelings if I can't get to them before casting. I just ask you to enjoy the ones that I can get to. And don't hold it against me if I miss your team. There are just so many good teams and I am but one person. - Aaron  
 

 Aaron's B-RUN Profile SPOTLIGHT 

TEAM-GTO
 

Scott  Spielman (Driver) & Mike Pirnia (co-driver)


If you have never seen Team GTO then most likely you are blind or have never been in the Bullrun.com forums. You see Scott is like me a very dedicated person. He does not just want to run in the event but he wants people to also find it a great hobby as well. He has always been willing to help those that ask and tries to give those with questions the answers they seek.

Scott is a family man that works as an aircraft mechanic in Beavercreek, OH. He has two boys that are just as involved in the families car as he is. Pattie, Scott's wife is understanding of his hobby and gives him the support to continue to strive for his goal. Being only 31 this is a well organized guy which I still believe is because of that great lady of his.

Scott isn't the only member of the team. Every team needs that map reader. In this team it is Mike. Mike is the guy who Scott told to build a car that is more than capable to run a grueling open road event. So with two gear heads that are driving for a goal they began to build up a car that is ready for just that challenge.


The Spielman 2004 Pontiac GTO. This car isn't afraid of the spotlight it was a featured car in an edition of  Pontiac Performance Magazine. It has to have the right passport to be featured in any type of car magazine. If anyone thinks that is easy to become a featured car. Then you have never tried to get your pride and joy into a magazine. It is almost an impossible feat and Scott has done it twice with this car. Even made the cover of one of them.   But this car is not just a Magazine car that is never slapped around on the open road. Scott just loves to burn the octane and smoke the tires. I have a small list of parts that Scott and Mike have crammed into this Spielman Edition car.

Parts List: LS1 Engine, with a 226/235 550/550 LSA Cam, Pacesetter Long tube headers, LS6 Valve Springs, and Hardened 7.450 Pushrods, New Era CAI/K&N Filter.

If you don't understand just what those parts can do to for this modern day GOAT. Do not feel to bad. I did not fully understand it myself at first. Then Scott helped bring me and many other forum readers to the light of a properly built GTO's capabilities.


You see this car can push 700hp and do 0 to 60 in as little as 4.6 sec. Yep! That is faster than most Italian supercars. The fuel consumption is still a very respectable 28 highway. So this car isn't just a showroom model that someone is asking for a chance. They built it for fun and this rally event is buckets of fun. So we have been told.

Scott and Mike are two very nice guys that should be given another look this time around. I know that they would be a great addtion to the Bullrun TV family and fans will come to enjoy the guys. I know that I have and would love to see them run. This team is ready for a close-up!

Thanks Scott.

Ford people, if you are reading this contact me immediately because I don't think you know how good this little car is. Seriously, we should talk about perhaps producing some Ford Fusion "MR. ANGRY" editions. I LOVE THIS CAR!"

Thanks guys.

I just thought that these Spotlights would be good for those new to the Bullrun site. It shows off some of the teams that casting might be calling on as season 3 ramps up. Think of it this way.

Bill (TeamVW) had a profile on the old site and I never knew about his team until this season. That is a shame because they are a great team that many would have like to known more about before they made the show.

I hope that I can be able to spotlight a couple teams that might make this season. Knowing a Team that is running in the rally makes the rally more fun to watch.  I don't know who is going to make it. Only Andy does. So I am going to get as many of the teams that I would like to see into the Spotlight before the next show.

 

- Aaron & Mister Happy

LOL! No not points for me these were done for the teams. I just wish I could have gotten a few more of you done before casting started. That was my plan all the time.

I truely believe that I will get a pass this season. Due to the VW bus last season. So just doing my part to promote the fans teams.
