I am traveling in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge area today. I kept seeing Ferrari's with numbers hauling ass down the interstate from Baton Rouge to new Orleans. Couldn't figure out what was going, but then I heard it was called the Bull Run. They left from Dallas and raced to New Orleans. Anyone ever heard of this?
I saw 2 ferraris, a Z3, and a Minivan.....all with the same numbers and logos. I thought it was a lambo deal as well, but never saw one. They nailed 23 of them between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, 2/3s over 100mph. The award goes to the one that got it at 151 mph. This all is information from the news. They actually filmed the black Modena (sp?) I saw. He had a state trooper behind him.
Summary of the Bull Run race from a friend that was at the local track when thye showed up.
L.A. - MIAMI BULL RUN 2004 COMES TO NO PROBLEM !!!
Today the Bull Run came to NPR after a reported seventy-five (75) cars were stopped by forty (40) police on LA49!!!! I was at the track picking up the Royale to do some maintenance (clutch) and warned by Winston of the Euro bad-boys arrival, was surprised when they were not there. We soon found out that only a few had escaped an apparent planned attack by local and state police! What did arrive were several tricked out Porsches, including a Turbo, another car looking just like an East German Police car with driver and co-driver dressed in full German police uniforms with black boots. A Lamborghini Murcielago next showed up sounding incredible. Then an Aston Vantage. A Police chopper flew overhead filming the arrivals - turned out he was hired by the organizers and filming the whole thing. A wacky Avalanche sporting bull horns a train whistle and decals from hell saying this was El Toro Diablo complemented the Porsche convertible with "Move Over Bitch" on the windscreen in reversed letters. No wonder these guys were attacked by the police! Two hookers in a Sebring convertible wearing only g-strings and blousy tops put on a show on arrival, but generally we missed most of the guys due to the intercept. Quite fun for a Wednesday. Oh, yes, and Winston "giving one of the guys in a Viper a ride" on the peanut course was the topper. I bet there is NO TREAD left on those tires!
