Hey Morgan and I just got some news that we are going to the Indianapolis 500 and get to do a pace lap around the track before the race. NOW THAT IS REALL COOL! I will have to get a picture of that! We wont be doing it in the T/A a chevy truck but that would have only been the ultimate.

Hey, it was good meeting you and Morgan in Key West! I hope you guys enjoyed the stay and had a safe trip back. Hopefully it will not be the last time I see that trans am!

I apologize. To clarify members of each of those teams were present. Jake couldn't make it so Jason rode with Morgan. Phillip from the Mustang couldn't make it as well as Jim from the Charger so Rich from Team Mustang rode with Mike of Team Charger....my point is that many participants from the show were present at the real Bullrun...even a flag girl or two...so that comment by Goldberg really had no merit as to who won....that's all

It was a pleasure meeting you as well. Nice ride. We actually got back to LA on Monday and are trying to get back to real life. I still have to get Morgan to slow down on the freeways b/c she still thinks shes on the rally..haha....I'm sure it won't be the last you will see the Trans Am

I would've tried begging to run the T.A. on the track instead of a truck not that you didn't try. I'm sure you did. anyway still awsome you get to do a lap on the track.

This is my first post in this thread. I did not even know it was here until now. I did not follow the TV series, but I did see the final two episodes. Congrats to the Alsops and great job showing what the LSx f-body is capable of. Mike, I have an 18-year-old daughter myself, and I know it was not easy to go across country during a stressful event like that. Hats off to you both

OBTW Mike, your avatar is my car from about 5 years ago

Sop,

Just stumbled into this thread. GREAT JOB! DVR'd every episode of the show. I live in AZ, also have a red WS6, and have motored on most of the roads in those episodes of AZ. Thanks to Morgan it's now been tagged a "chic" car in the nieghborhood so I drive my others more often now.

It sounds as though your world has whipped into a vortex of events, activities, fans, and more since the show.

Couple questions:
What got you interested in doing Bullrun?

What do Morgan and yourself typically do (careers/jobs)? This was something we asked ourselves about most everyone in the show.

What's next for the Alsop's?

I think Eastbound & Down is the appropriate song for those vids of you guys gettting pulled over/arrested in Georgia. How fast were you guys going? I see the T/A up front. I love it!
