Default Bullrun

The new season of "Bullrun" just started on Speed, and you can catch it again at 2:00am (Eastern).

If you're not familiar, it's 12 two-person teams on a 4000 mile rally across the US, with checkpoints and challenges along the way (hosted by Bill Goldberg). It's a pretty cool show, and they've got some hot cars again this year.

Check it out

They can't speed, though. Kinda sucks.

Oh, they speed alright. They're not supposed to speed, (obviously the show can't condone it), but they do - Team Porsche already got pulled over for doing 55 in a 35.

Well I watched the last season and stopped watching after the guy with the viper got in trouble for speeding on the freeway.

Seriously? You boycott the show because it follows the law?
How dare they not endanger the public by not allowing them to speed!

I still think it's a cool show. Yes, it's a "race", but it's about getting from A to B faster by being smart and making the right decisions. Not just who can drive the fastest.

But yes, it can be a cool show. I liked last season when the guy in the truck got all ballsy and rammed through the brick wall instead of going around it. Not too smart considering the next leg was running at night...

Went to dinner the other night and the Vegas teams were having a premier party. Saw the Solstice and the VW bus. The bus is sick!! I have known the bus brothers for a while. Their shop was next to a friends fab shop. Those guys are really nice and cool to talk to. The Solstice guy had a bit of an ego about his pontiac.

Show seems ok. The two guys in the Evo crack me up with their comments. I will watch it.

I would rate it no higher than OK so far myself. I'll be watching this first season for sure but season two is a we'll see at this point.

The VW Bus is cool.

This is actually the second season - a father/daughter team in a Firebird won the first Bullrun.

Nope. He decided he needed to shave some time off the course and thought it would be a good idea to run through instead of around.

Ford owners...whadaya gonna do?
