The 2nd is the selfish one but more realistic. Bunch of rich guys in fancy cars wreck in a spectacular fashion and next thing you know the politicians get ahold of it and life gets really ugly for the next random guy to get caught speeding. Still sounds fun but I could NEVER, EVER entertain partaking in something like this on public roads in this country. |

I never said it was ME doing 100 in a 35, most of the highspeeds are in the middle of nowhere. It was indeed in the middle of nowhere in the mountians of CO when he got caught. Yes, it was stupid and reckless of him, he'll admit that, but that doesn't mean everything on the bullrun and every driver doing everything is reckless.

There's a huge difference between doing something a little risky, and doing something that at least to an outside observer, seems like hitting the freeway sporting a .3 BAC. Yeah, maybe you can get away with for a while, but sooner or later something bad is bound to happen, and under similar events like what was in last year's blog, could be something really bad that ends up with someone dead, someone innocent dead, and/or someone in jail for a long time (given that some the actions seem like premeditated felony). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicular_homicide Sounds like this event fits the bill nicely.

Just thinking about doing bullrun is a rush but like so many of you pointed out - is it worth the risk? Could you live with yourself if you were part of what killed someone?
All it takes for bullrun to be shutdown is an even like this with someone killed: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=651526 Theres just too much risk due to uncontrolled variables to do this on the street. |

Sorry, one more interjection, then I'll stop. When I think Bullrun, this is what it reminds me of:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102685/ "The Ultimate Rush", of course, until something goes badly wrong.

For those worried about the "Risk" it is not necessary to balls out the entire rally. In our car we mostly cruised around 80mph and went up to 130ish when on back road straight aways. We did speed, but we kept it safe and we actually placed very well over all because we didnt have to worry about getting pulled over. we actually didnt even get a single speeding ticket. i know drake personally and can vouch he is a cool guy. if anyone from the board is considering taking him up on this and wants a second opinion or more info on the event, feel free to hit me up. marco |

Please note, there are around 80 cars that participate in bullrun. You do not need to go ridiculously fast to have a good time. we kept our speeds safe and had a blast. imagine 80 cars going 130-150mph for 3000 miles.... no way. your buying into the myth. i understand it only takes one dumbass driver to mess the whole thing up and i understand how there are factors that cannot be predicted (both on public and private roads) but the rally isnt a death race. There are also a few private track events on the rally. we were scheduled to have 2 track days and a go kart session on the last rally however, 1 track day got canceled. Gumball has had the same. |

And just so you know, the BullRun DOES organize track events for us. This year I got 2nd place in the "HotLap Challenge" the only person who beat me was Robby Gordon... in a LP570-4 Superleggera.

I also currently have found a ride as Porsche North America is sponsoring me. Talk amongst yourselves if you'd like to create your own teams
