Over the past few weeks I have been conducting interviews with several of the competing teams from the 3rd season of Bullrun.

Consisting of driver Jason Arias and co driver Kristina Arias, Team BMW entered Bullrun with their BMW 335i.

The new season of Speed TV’s hit reality television show Bullrun is now less then weeks away. The brain child of Andrew Duncan and David Green, Bullrun features 12 teams of competitors driving across the USA racing through checkpoints and challenges. The goal? $200 000.
Those familiar with the show know how intense and entertaining it can be. This season promise to be even more so.

Highlighting the Impressive Machines from the Bullrun 2009 Rally
Michael Schlee
The tire smoke has settled, the awards handed out, the bail money posted and the teams have returned home. The 2009 Bullrun rally is officially over. Those who caught a glimpse of it across the Eastern United States were privy to an amazing array of high end vehicles.
Team OH Canada
Ferrari, Porsche, Panoz, Koenigsegg and Maserati were some of the makes that were represented. It wasn’t just high end exotics that were on display though; the American muscle car was also on hand. Corvettes, Mustangs, Chevelles and even a Grand National made the grid.

The Great North American Road Trip
Michael Schlee
The long distance road trip seems to be a lost art these days. With airports appearing in even the smallest of towns, air travel has become the preferred method of travel. It is just so easy, quick and cheap to fly these days.
The Autotrader/Bullrun RX-8
Does that mean the road is officially dead? Well no, there are still some of us brave (crazy?) souls out there who like all that a road trip has to offer. The open road, the freedom, the lure of spontaneous adventures and fresh air will always be persuasive factors in embarking on a road trip.

The Rally Is Rolling
Michael Schlee
The green flag has dropped and the racers are driving their way across the Eastern United States. The Bullrun Rally is well on its way. Currently in day number four, the rally has lived up to the hype. With dozens of memorial stories and sightings being reported all over the internet already, people will still be talking about the rally long after it is finished.
Kim Kardashian
As mention in “Bullrun Rally Ready to Roll”, I was lucky enough to take the green flag start for the rally this year (look for the blue RX-8). I knew going down to New York City that the rally would be something special, but I had no idea how amazing and chaotic it would be.

Rally Begins July 11, 2009 in New York City
Michael Schlee
Sometimes things do not go according to plans. It is 3 days before I need to be in New York City for the start of Bullrun and my official Bullrun vinyl kit is M.I.A. I need it to be able to partake in the official start of the Bullrun rally. Now normally this would onset panic and dismay. I mean, I am an amateur when it comes to applying vinyl at the best of times and this is a substantial kit. Working fulltime would only leave me 3 evenings at best to get the 10 hour job done. Not to worry though, I have an ace up my sleeve; more on that later.
Bullrun RX-8 Lacking Decals
The event I am preparing for is the 2009 Bullrun Rally. For those not familiar with Bullrun, think of it as a mix between a road rally, a race and a week long non-stop party. With nothing more then a destination and road map, teams of two travel from checkpoint to checkpoint all over the USA during the course of one week. First one there (as determined by their starting and ending time) wins. Of course at the end of each day the teams enjoy some of the wildest and most exclusive night life each host city has to offer.
