So after being gone the past two and a half weeks with army training I finally finished watching the show online and HELL YEA!!!! I honestly thought you didnt pull it off when the Olds guys made it in first. Congrats and I still love that car.

Morgan came in 3rd to the last checkpoint in Key-West. I can tell you she absolutly kicked some major butt on the real run. She is going to call me as to the outcome and the awards she recieves. Keeping you posted.

WOW, thats damn impressive! the real events like bullrun, gumball, cannonball are very tough on the competitors and the cars. A 3rd overall is an awesome accomplishment for a first timer! I bet the rally bug has bit hard and you guys will be looking forward to the next rally!!

On another note, how did you find out about the Spike Bullrun? I would love to do something like that but didnt know they had/ or were the casting calls were??

Cannonball Run Sea to Shining Sea is still the king and always will be. No other event is as difficult and impressive...there's a reason that low 30 hour mark still stands to this day.

TEAM TRANS AM (SPIKE TV) - TOGETHER AGAIN

BULLRUN 2007 - BOSTON TO ATLANTIC CITY

Team Trans Am reunites on the road again during Bullrun 2007. Morgan was on from the beginning, but Mike arrived in Boston to join up with this rolling carnival of automotive fun.



This is the 1st time Bullrun Live Rally participants are seeing Mike in person. Many have mentioned that Mike looks too young to be Morgan's father and that it may be a hoax for the Spike show. He may actually be her older brother.



There have been talks among Bullrunners to conduct a DNA test before the end of the rally. The Alsops have been too busy with the car to comment. More news to come.

She is my daughter and they are funny people. No need to have the DNA testing done. We had a ball! Spike tv and Bullrun as well as rocket science laboratories they are the best. We will be doing some more things here inthe future and we will keep you posted. The T/A rocks and the new powerplant is going to be way out of the box. I am dreaming of 427 twin superchargers but must work out the logistics under the hood. Looking at the new 6 speed auto on the xlr to convert or 400 with gear vendors overdrive unit.

More to come!

Nice. That record had to fall someday, amazing it lasted this long. I have to say though, since they skipped the Bull Run to make a one-of attempt at the Cannonball Run record, I'd say that makes the Cannonball the king.

Hey, I never brought it up! They did finish the Bullrun just to show the world who the baddest rally in the world is. I didnt say that! That was a quote from them. It didnt matter to me either way. That Rawlings is NUTS THOUGH any run he is on is going to be crazy. Write that down....

Its all about the fun. I wouldnt even be talking with anyone here and no one would care if it werent for the TV show. I do however love cars and love to go fast... ITS BEEN IN MY VEINS SINCE BIRTH. Great LOSER AND EVEN WORSE WINNER...

THE Olds guys still are pissed and they really should have been gone the first episode so they shouldnt be talking anytrash about anyone. It is funny how peoples memories get JADED!

Love MOTORSPORTS

I finally got to watch the last episode - CONGRATS!

The only thing that disappointed me is that you kept finishing 1st or 2nd and avoiding the competitions! I wanted to see the T/A rip up that parking garage or tear through that last course. You know, live vicariously??
