Welcome to Bullrun Episode 7 sports fans! So the Mexicans went home and it’s a blow to the whole set. Everyone loved those guys and they had a great attitude. But that’s the way it works… it was so close between them and the Dodge Charger.

We had a day off the day before so I went to SEMA to see our friend Claus at his CEC Wheels party and to go to the Scion party. Flew in at 7pm, out at 5am. No sleep, partying all night, and back to Bullrun for a full day of filming! Salt Lake City to Moab, Utah. Night drive baby!!!

F150 and the Lotus are now in an all-out war now. They want each other out so badly! Lots of dad/daughter tension in the Trans Am. Mike even tells Morgan to grow some balls!! To add to the tension, they get pulled over by the Po-Po… for having their full lights on!! They get lucky and get away quickly although Morgan is ready to take the Police head on. The Utah police are not popular.

Team Lotus comes up with a great bit of strategy: post a really, really slow time on an upcoming leg of the rally so when they beat someone in a challenge the time they swap over is literally a death sentence… the money is getting closer now and everyone has their eye on it.

The Careening Cargo challenge is tricky, having to stay at a decent speed within the moving rope zone AND avoid those boxes, not easy. Add into this the fact they’ve all had to drive through the night, every second counts and, oh yeah, there’s 200 grand on the line. We’re wearing them right down to the bare bones. The Charger boys win out against the F150, and the Lotus just cannot be beaten.

Strategy is becoming SO important. You have to be smart to win this rally. Mike and Morgan get an extra gas can and fill it up. It’s obvious the Honda guys will have to go for a time bonus to make up time, but because no one knows how much they’re worth (or how many there are) it’s a major decision now.

Meanwhile, the Olds and the Charger find themselves on a road we were terrified to drive on during the day when we scouted the show. The road is super steep, rocky as hell, and the drop to the right is thousands of feet… with no guard rail anywhere. These guys are seriously crapping themselves but they make it through.

Just 24 minutes separate 1st and 6th place, with the 7th place team way behind a further 19 minutes. It’s between the Lotus and Honda… and the Honda goes out. They already got bailed out once by Team BMW’s forfeit, but they lost out on today’s challenge and didn’t go for a time bonus. They had the chances, but they’re going home.


Team Honda leaves the Bullrun Rally for good

Bullrun Ticket to Drive Finalist #6

It was tough between the Pacer and the Soarer but confirmed with David and
the Lexus wins it.

The winner this week is that amazing Soarer. Some great mods done to this
car and what a great car to represent the import fans and take on the muscle
of the USA and the exotics of Europe.
