And I'd do it again to protect my car.

But isn't that kind of like a tree in the woods sort of thing? If the MAN didn't see it, is it really illegal?

Also, thanks for the Sanford & Son comment. Now I have that god-forsaken theme song stuck in my head. :lol:

Exactly. As pro-touring enthusiasts, we ALL speed. It would be duplicitous to state otherwise. 70 in a 30, and most of us are guilty of shooting up to 110 in a 70 and then lifting. But that video was quite clear. Two bozos passing the rest of the Bullrun field at sustained high speeds. And for what? They need to spend more time refueling. Somthing tells me that thir approach is NO the fast way around the "track".

$17,500 gets you a swanky hotel room in each city, access to the Bullrun private parties (they rent out some pretty cool clubs) and meals. That works out to $2500 per day plus fuel. :faint: I think we spent $300 per day on Power Tour last year.

Not really. That sort of sustained high speed driving on public roads ASSUMES that the cars around you will not do anything stupid. It assumes that you will not experience tire failure. It assumes that you will not encounter debris in the road. It also assumes that you have a really good, high paid lawyer on call.

The Bullrun winner will balance speed with navigation skills, reliability and fuel mileage/range. The guys who drive the fastest and suffer the worst hangovers will NOT win--regardless of what the PR shows. Right now we're spending our brain cells on the fuel mileage/range part of the equation. We are building a Bullrun fuel tank(s). I hope we get to use it.

I hope you get to use it too:thumbsup: I'm thinking if you can get your range in the 500 mile zone you should be good to go! The farthest range I've heard of is one of the Gumball drivers has enough for around 800 miles. I don't know about you, but my bladder just couldn't last that long.....I guess some trucker bombs would be in order.

Gonna need some stiffer springs too.

On an open road, where there is limited traffic, It is fine to "have a little fun".

I think that the quality (read: driver's ability) of people on the Bullrun, Gumball, and the rest are alot higher then the average joe. It is the Fast & Furious type folk who "believe" they know how to drive, and simulate what they saw, are the people who kill pedestrians & other motorists.


Steve, good luck with the Bullrun. :thumbsup:

Good luck Steve I hope you get in. HOW DO I VOTE

We were asked to take the Camaro on the Inaugural Invhational FIREBALL RUN RALLY Orlando to LA. 5000.00 + 9 nights at a 4 star or better resort to start

....and some PIAA spots, and a police scanner, and a fuzzbuster, and a radar jammer, and some nitrous and a push bar and this paddle ball game, and this ash tray. AND THAT'S ALL I NEED!

CraigMorrison 04-12-2007 09:29 AM

Don't worry about the radar jammer- passive ones don't work, and active ones are a federal offence to use.

Laser jammers are a whole different ball game. New ones from europe even function as a parking sensor for parallel parking. They just happen to block laser guns as well.
