Looks like Spike is going to have a show on tonight called "Bull Run" ~ 10pm CST.
It appears to be along the lines of the Cannon Ball run with some additional tests involved.......I see that the F-body community will be represnted (red WS6).

Ooops ! that's right ~ Tues 10pm CST
....sorry guys

Howdy,

The show just seems totally stupid. A GPS system in a Civic LX with a big gas tank would easily win. Take the GPS system away and that just means you'd need someone good with maps.

The 'skill contest' also seemed pretty dumb. How could you not get close enough to hit the lightbulbs with the stick on the roof? Or perhaps they didn't count the ones that the guy hit with the nose of the firebird?

The chicks in the scion who were pissed off when they got kicked off were pretty funny though. :-)

Honsetly, I thought the same thing about the GPS ~ but from the looks of it, I guess any of those type devices were not allowed. I'm sure there were other rules as well about what could and couldn't be done to make it more of a equal contest.......it would have helped if they would have given us (the audience) a clue (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

From what I could tell, the only thing that would break the bulbs was the ball on the end of each post ......as the one guy was making comments on being either too close or too far. That in tangent with each stran of posts appeared to be pretty close together making it difficult to get over to each set with any speed.

......but to each his own, I'll continue to watch ~ at least as long as the WS6 is in it (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
