Default Bull Run the Final Leg

This was a twisty episode, I honestly didnt know if team T/A would do it. The 1st leg was a short one with the TA and F-150 doing it with in 40 minutes, the olds decided to get the car fixed that took 2 hours on top of the race. But in the challange they drove the ***** off the car. Actually Andre drove that car hard, he should have been the driver.

Team F-150 ran strong but it was 15 seconds that made the difference.

On the second leg I thought that dirt trail would have cut at least an hour off of the time, the show wouldnt show the final times but I guess they were still like 2 hours off.

I cant beleive team ta almost lost 200k for 50 bucks worth of gas change lol. I mean if they lost to those chuckle heads, I would crawl in a hole and die.

But alas, team Alsop ruled all, they smashed, and beat all comers.


If you havent seen the show, too bad, you should have,

The winner and Bull Run Champion.

TEAM TRANS-AM!!!

The overall final times were 4:33:30, 4:42:32, 6:40:23 (TIVO)
I am not sure if you were looking for the times of just the last leg, or the overall. Team TA #1
By the way, didn't they know who won before the announcement? I mean, if the olds knew that they were behind by "x" and only finished the last leg a few minutes before the TA (less than "x"), they had to know that they lost. I know that kills the drama, but come on.......like the ford didn't know that when the olds came in soon after, not two hours later, that they were out of contention.
Good show, although I didn't see the first few episodes. Great tire smoking after the win. Nice to see the LS1 take it all

The funny part is, when the olds and TA were coming down into Yuma, an the truck was almost there, it seemed they could be at least an hour off, then as the ford approached the finish line the t/a and olds were a smidge behind. It seemed like that dirt road didnt cut as much time as one might think.

that last run was fixed...the olds passed the trans am while they were getting gas on the final leg. the TA's lead was 7 mins after the first leg and 9 mins after the second leg, yet the olds passed them on the second leg...something's fishy

and yeah, andre should have been driving all along...his brother was 5 seconds behind the F150 at the driver change

Guys you have to remember that when they leave the legs, they kinda do a stagered start. They each dont leave at there time gaps.

Im going to definalty try again. If they do a second season. But my experience in events like this hurt me Big time after talking with Casting. Funny thing the same casting agent that found Team Trans-am also found us. I was told to have a tough guy attitude while doing our vid. I guess you have to have the NEW York City attitude also. Im going to try a different direction in cars choice to see if it helps me or not.

Great show! Congrats Alsops!! I was still rooting for Team Olds. I love how they handed F150 the kiss of death! But Hopefully there'll be a second season. Was it me, or did it look like Alsop had both hands outside the window while doing donuts?!
