Default Team Trans AM WINS Bull run!

Not sure if anyone followed but it was actually a cool show. Some serious dirty tricks and high end cars got tore up. I saw some guys on the ORR Board trashing it...then again the guy they knew in it got bumped out early

Not some thing I would take a car I liked much to but over all a kick to watch compared to much of the other boaring *** racing on today

It was good to see that TransAm spinning non stop circles as the winner!!

My Dad was telling me about this show and I caught one episode....naturally I was pulling for team Trans Am. It seemed like a pretty neat show.

The one episode I watched two of the teams got penalized for speeding cause one guy in the F-150 videoed them speeding past him as he was doing 80......Isn't 80 speeding?????? I tried to find the rules for it online, but their website sucks so I couldn't find anything....oh well.

Fun show though!

yup!

Giant thread in the general section of the forum, as in 1.1k+ posts long. The dad from the team (Mike Alsop) is now a member of the forum and answers a lot of questions in the thread.

I had a feeling the Olds was going to win it by total luck. Glad they didn't glad they got beat by a father daughter team they didn't want to loose to. The look on their faces at the end of it was priceless!

In a lot of states east of washington the speed limit is 80. When they get caught speeding they lose points/time, the ford guys were just being pansy's...I'm glad Trans Am won

Look on your 360 marketplace.

IIRC they are 60 credits per episode and suppose to be good quality, just look under the spike stuff.

I watched about 3/4 of the episodes. The father/daughter team (TransAm) was def. the coolest of the bunch, and deserved the win for sure! Those homo's in the F-150 looked like complete tools after the video taping incident (low life scum).

If they do another run, it'll be interesting to see the cars that show up next year. I'm guessing there'll be more junkers after the stunts they had to put their cars through.

I missed the last few episodes but was watching it all along. Was cool, few drama queens made it fun to watch. I figured the fbody had the best chance of not breaking down, was glad to see the lambo get trashed. The charger was nice but the guys were chumps and 8 mpg is stoooopid in a road race.
Not sure I'd take my car on it. They beat up their rides pretty good doing the stunt stuff and I value my paint more than that. Ask the lambo guy how he feels. And even the trans am ate the glass wall. Wonder how much damage they finished with.
