My brother and I are planning on entering the Bullrun contest at Spike TV. We are looking for sponsors, and more importantly votes to keep us near the top of the list.... Two thick headed Italians from the Boston area crammed into a breathed on 2003 MCS from Montreal to Fort Lauderdale... priceless!
Your support is appreciated.
Cheers!

 

Sounds like a great opportunity. Keep us posted

 

awesome, hope that works well for you and your brother.

 

are you submitting for next years contest? It can't be this years, cause it just started airing.

on a side note, I would absolutely love to do something like that someday.

 

We need a well handling car to compete against cars like the Elise.

 

Well, the mcs is a work in progress, and with the right bits, me driving and hopefully a sponsorship, I think that we can be more than competitive...

 

We need your support....

Under "Filter Results" enter MINI as the manufacturer, and visit Lordhumongous' MINI vote for us to be on BULLRUN!!!!

 

That would be freakin awesome as long as you don't have a hissy fit like the 2 girls in the Scion did. That sounded like an episode of Springer with the bleeping.

 

Still another season and no mini. Anyone apply?

 

I thought Bullrun was on SPEED. Anyway, I saw on their website that it costs $20,000 to enter Bullrun. This is why you don't see US as Team JCW. You have to pay to enter this rally. Then there's the TV show....

1) The Bullrun Rally.

The Bullrun brand originated from the now legendary Bullrun USA car rally. It is the most glamorous and high profile “luxury lifestyle” automotive rally.

Each year up to a 100 cars, driven by celebrities and individuals from around the world, embark on an epic seven-day rolling road-trip, partying in a different city every night.

Bullrun crosses the USA, bringing together a celebrity strewn cast of characters and for an unforgettable adventure, where, the only obligatory goals are to party, drive and enjoy…

Fuelled by an impressive schedule of public and private events at the finest venues and hotels and in the most exciting cities in America, ’Bullrunners’ make their way from one checkpoint to the next, only learning their next destination daily, rocking to a close each night in the party capitals of America.

Entry to this event is $20,000. This covers both drivers for accommodations, rally entry and meals and parties for the week of the rally.
This live rally event is filmed for TV in 96 countries outside the United States (See Bullrun TV). The TV show will be in it's 6th season in 2009. The title of this TV series is 'Cops, Cars & Superstars'.

2. The Bullrun Reality TV Show.

This show format is a 'spin off' and based on the legendary Bullrun Rally (above). It is a totally separate event as 12 teams with their cars compete for $200,000 over 4,000 miles in a 10 episode reality elimination TV show (See Bullrun Reality TV).

Referred to as 'Bullrun', the show aired on MTV Networks / Spike TV (www.spiketv.com) in March 2007 with production of Bullrun Season II due to begin in 2008, airing in 2009. This TV series is also shown around the world in 50 countries.

This is show free to applicants if selected for the TV show. Individuals who want to be Contestants or Flag Girls in this show can set up Driver or Flag Girl profiles on this website and will automatically be considered for the show.

 

I knew someone who did a previous Bullrun, it's just too expensive and in this day and age you'll be hard pressed to get a sponsor, especially since Speed has all sorts of restrictions on advertising in their shows.
Maybe you should suggest to MINIUSA that they make the next MINI Takes the States into some sort of Bullrun style rally with autocross style driving events (as well as family oriented events) at different stops along the way.

 

This BULL RUN show is a complete Fail fest.....It's stupid and rediculous and I just had to vent it....

 

That would be an impressive sight to see.

 

I agree total BS!

Gumball FTMFW!

 

Oh I dunno. The scene of the guy trying to take a **** in a bottle, and ultimately putting a piece of tape over the in-car camera was pretty funny. Shades of the Camaro guys in Gumball Rally!
