Bullrun 2007

Finally found the time to got through all 300 or so pics I took from the Bullrun. Here’s my little adventure…

Flew in for the last leg of the Bullrun – Miami to Key West. Met up with the Bullrunners at the Ritz Carlton in the early morning. Got to take a power nap on the beach…since I got in at 5 AM.

The cars lined up in front of the Ritz…some crazy cars. My favorite was the DTM CLK!!!

Here’s what we took on the rally. I took my pimped out rental Chevy HHR!

“What about speed?”…”If you’re important, people will wait.” – Be Cool

While Vic (ID Agency) and Dan (Vivid Racing) took Dan’s Porsche Turbo. Dan wrapped his entire car in white vinyl to keep the yellow paint clean from rock chips and to stay low-key…the stickers probably didn’t help though. Somehow I managed to keep up with everyone on the rally haha.

Claus the owner of CEC took a Techart Magnum on the rally. He is a mad man driving…with his average speed ranging about 120 on his Nav. He ended up “winning” the rally with the best overall time, but the rally isn’t really a race ;) He did get his fair share of tickets from the MAN…but used his German license to evade jail time. Here’s a his baller story…from Marathon after receiving the route card he jumped into a speed boat full with Bullrun/CEC/European Car graphics…the boat broke down, so he called and got a private jet to take him the rest of the way to the Finish Line.

The first stop for breakfast was the CEC showroom (see previous blog) from there we headed down to Marathon in Key West.

Bullrunners get their route cards at each checkpoint. It tells them where the next checkpoint or hotel is…once they get them its off to the races.

In Marathon…the cars lined up to be displayed and we grabbed lunch. Some decided to take boat rides. Some of the guys from the Bullrun reality show came for the rally too including Team Camaro, Team Scion, Team Lotus, and Team F150.

Even a Carrera GT was in the rally and got a ton of tickets.

From Marathon we got a police escort to the Finish Line at the end of Key West. It was crazy as the cars parked and it seemed like the entire city came out to check everything out. Even the radio stations were hyping it up.

These pics from Marathon are for Mark!

Paris Hilton was supposed to be on this leg of the rally too…but with her DUI thing the rally was probably a bad idea.

Our boy Tyson Beckford (model/actor/drifter/host of new show Fine Tuned) made it out…must be nice to be him and have hot chicks all over him all day long…lol

Then it was off to the hotel for some drinks by the pool. We had an amazing dinner on the beach. A couple crazy dudes from the UK took a fully built Peugot rally car, but it broke down b/c of the long distance runs. So the guys that took that decided to rent 2 Crossfires…everyone wondered why they each got one. We soon found out it was so they could play bumper cars…the rental insurance came in handy.

Overall it was a great trip. Not sure if I could ever do a complete rally and the 3000 plus miles. But we’ll see next year ;) .
