Bullrun Season 3, Episode 2: Night Run
By Mike Musto

Last week on Episode 1 of Bullrun we saw the departure of Team VW. A failed starter left them stranded mid-way through the first challenge and unfortunately led to their demise. The story however doesn’t end there. It seems that exile from the show has caused these guys to go on a full-blown bender by evidence of this Youtube video. Arron, owner of the VW and Bullrun super fan has apparently transformed himself from Mister Happy into CAPTAIN UNDA’ PANTS!
Anyway, lets move on to Episode 2. Eleven teams still remain in the quest for the Bullrun Trophy with leg one taking place at night. From experience I can tell you that these legs are the most difficult. On Season 1 we did multiple night legs and once you hit that 11pm mark, especially after 10 hours of shooting, you’re pretty well done. Fatigue sets in, you become drowsy and bad things begin to happen. I’ve done both the actual Bullrun Rally and the TV Show and I can safely say the filming of the show, from a fatigue standpoint wins hands down… it’s tough.
The first leg took the teams to San Luis Obispo, CA. While on the road teams continued to scheme and alliances began to form. Teams Mustang, Lexus and Corvette showed signs of a friendship, as did the NSX, Viper and Lamborghini. We also found out a little bit more about teams as the night progressed. Rob Harris from Team Mini was apparently a road race instructor at some point – a secret that’s been kept well hidden. I have a feeling that we’ll be able to see his talent soon enough because Team NSX seems to have it out for them.

Guy Drives Deuce and a Half Through Above Ground Pool

Watching this video will make you really want a deuce and a half truck. It will also serve as a good base for the guaranteed argument you’ll have with your spouse when you share that idea. Clearly this truck is a useful piece of equipment to have around the house. They’re great at lots of stuff, like knocking down pools. To be clear, the pool is still full of water.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1975 Chrysler
By Dan Strohl
Hemmings
Okay, so I’m a sucker for a station wagon, especially one with that wonderful faux wood siding that always seemed to age faster than the rest of the car. Of course, nothing screams Seventies quite like Avocado Gold Metallic (or all 27 variations of brown), which is exactly what’s slathered on this 1975 Chrysler Town & Country with an asking price of $13,950. From the seller’s description:
1975 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country 9 Passenger Wagon – 84,000 One Owner miles on this very well cared for mid 70’s Full Size Luxury Wagon! 440 TNT Motor – Factory A/C – 50/50 front seat (LH power) – Power Tailgate, Window & Lock – Avocado Gold Metallic in color with Black vinyl interior – No Rust Here!!

Little White Starlet
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
I’m not quite sure why, but I felt strangely drawn to this KP6 Toyota Starlet during the recent Omega Oil track day in Tsukuba. How can you not like its 70s/80s old-school feel, enhanced with body modifications that include massive N2-like overfenders and a set of vintage wheels. The interior was kept pretty simple to start off with so the owner obviously didn’t feel the need to go crazy and remove too much trim… …the stock dash and instrument binnacle remaining, but sporting a custom instrument cluster with simple, fuss-free Omori gauges.
