Bullrun on SPIKE

Anyone catch the season premiere of Bullrun on SPIKE last night? I thought it was pretty decent. The twelve cars featured were all nice and it seemed like a modern-time update to "Gumball Rally" (now i'm showing my age---- ). My favorite had to be the Father/Daughter team with the suped up Trans-Am. That car was wicked and performed wonderful.

Maybe this could be a weekly updated thread if intrest is shown

Re: Bullrun on SPIKE

I wanted to see it, but I missed it. I'm sure they'll have an encore presentation on it sometime soon. But I had to work. But it looks awesome. I don't have SPEED channel, so my friend always talks about the Wed. lineup of Pinks, Whips, and Forza Motorsports and it pissed me off. So my only thing is this new Bullrun. But the team with the Trans Am is on LS1.com. They kinda talked about the show and stuff, but I'm sure they are under contract and can't say much of anything about it.

I will look on SPIKE.com, but I think I remember it rerunning at least a couple of times this week.

Oh and Poorm, Pinks kicks ass. Can't get enough of that show. Whips is ok but not my bag and the Forza is good also.

Re: Bullrun on SPIKE

Yeah I saw that. Why did they decide to just rip off all the markers off the bus at one time I have no idea, I thought the time penalty would kill them. Then the idiots start burning out with a bad clutch.

Another one that got me was the Honda team (?) that got pulled over and they claimed "racial profiling". Right....................

Again, the firebird team did great tho. Hope they make it.

Too bad about the Nissan team, what a rotten break-----

Re: Bullrun on SPIKE

i thought the honda team just bumped the bus but then there was a huge hole in it . i think if that nissan didnt break it would have done pretty well.

Re: Bullrun on SPIKE

Last nights episode was good. The Trans-Am team is looking great every time. Too bad the Mustang team broke down, I had them picked to go a lot farther. Loved the footage of the TA and the Lotus in the mountain pass. Just can't beat an awsome suspension.........


Unless you are a Lambo HAHAHAHAHA

Re: Bullrun on SPIKE

Mustang team broke a rod on one cylinder right at the start of the second challange. They got a tow but the time loss killed them. They probably couldn't continue anyway, it looked bad.

Re: Bullrun on SPIKE

Well I missed last week but caught the highlights and Lambo team took the dive due to their clutch (finally).

As for last night I just about lost it when the TA team had that tranny hose break on the 2nd leg. I really thought they were done for but that time bonus saved them and the guys ability to fix it on the fly like that helped also. BMW got the boot after one of them had to leave for an emergency. In reality they forfitted, Honda was actually the last place team.

Another point is that TA's are kinda hard to "drift"----------
