It's the day before the rally and I'm SO EXCITED as I head down to the garage to see my car. The Lotus cars are all together and lined up getting stickered so I waited to meet with Mr. Newberry to get my car keys. I had a choice of which Lotus I was going to take but as soon as I heard there was a yellow convertible Elise downstairs without seeing it first I claimed the car. That is by far going to be the coolest ride... two girls. top down. bright yellow car.. there's no way you're going to miss us and if you do, we'll come back around. :) I LOVE the car! It's such a perfect match and I'm really excited to drive it. This year there's no prototype cars so the Lotus Elise and the rest of the Lotus teams have a very good chance at being the coolest cars on the rally..







I took a good look around the garage to size up my competition and let's see... There's a Hummer (of course my car can take that as long as it doesn't run over me!), a couple Mustang's, there's a fleet of Porsche's, a couple Ferrari's, a few Mercede's and Bill's Lamborghini.. Not bad for starters but I have a feeling this won't be all I'm going to see. A lot of the cars haven't arrived yet and I'm still anticipating a Spyker car, maybe we'll have someone cruising in the C8 again this year but I still haven't run into Carl Lewis who drove one last year.









I'm going to meet up with Tila in a little while. I just got through registration and picked up some free swag. I got a couple t-shirts, another Bullrun hat, some Elizabeth Grant foot spray that's supposed to help tired feet, a couple cologne sprays and some girls gone wild gear. The one thing I am excited to play with is a Supertooth, which is a bluetooth that I can install in the car so I'll be able to talk on my phone while driving. It looks really easy to install but I'm not sure if the noise while having the top down will prevent me from hearing the device.
Dinner is in a few hours and I still have to get ready. It's going to be a big night for Bullrun as all the old and new Bullrunners come in and we all get to share stories. I look forward to catching up with Annabelle Frankl of Team Twins as she was the FIRST bullrun girl to ever be arrested!

“Let the games begin.” Or should we say “Let the delays begin?”
I drove up with four cars yesterday for some pre-Bullrun excitement before the big day. We had two Porsche twin turbos, an M6 and and Evo. We met in the morning in Greenwich and headed out from there so I snagged a seat in one of the Porsche’s and we were on our way…About two hours into our drive we all got pulled over for going slightly over the speed limit but we didn’t realize we all had slowly accelerated going on a downhill slope when the radar quickly went off. A cop comes out of no where and points us all over. He calls for back up, delays us almost an entire hour, threatens to impound all the cars and gives all the drivers a ticket for 82 in a 65.. Meanwhile, my driver and I are plotting plan B’s to get out of the car and run to Canada after all, we were on a bridge. The cops let us know that they are very aware of the Bullrun rally that will be coming through and they even claimed to have the inside on all the routes we’ll be taking as well. We were given the advice to forewarn all of our Bullrun rally drivers that anyone exceeding the speed limit or hitting triple digits in their cars will have the car immediately impounded and will be arrested… So, not exactly what we were hoping to hear on our drive up to Montreal.
The Canadian boarder had really tighten it’s ropes. I was able to get through in my car as well as Kristine Elezaj and her father in their Evo but, the M6 and the Porsche rental car from Gotham Dreams Cars that was for one of the rally drivers was held back. It really took some time to get our good friend Jason Thorgelson through who was also driving in the Porsche and wanted him to leave as well since the car wasn‘t able to come in. We got Jason across about an hour later and left Frankie (M6) back at customs trying to figure out how he was going to get his 10k back from customs.
We reached the Ritz Carlton around 9:30PM and I saw my Lotus boys, Danny Klein and Brian Newberry, who were on their way to Globe with an entourage of friends. There were only a few stickered cars outside so I decided to wait for tomorrow until I check out the garage, and party first! Our group got settled in and decided to skip out on dinner and head straight to the club. The club was SO much fun! Great people, great music, good vibes. We danced all night.. It was so good to see all the Bullrun family once again as well as my friends from the Spike TV show. Here are a few pictures I CAN show you.. The rest are off limits.. Kristine and I got up on the bar top last night.. Richard Rawlings joined us for some good o’ Bullrun fun!
















Here's the scoop on a couple cars I've had the pleasure of driving with.







Kristine Elezaj- Mitsubishi Evo. About 25k in upgrades. She’s sponsored by Ecko Red and will be releasing an EP on the Bullrun, May 16. She’s not a virgin to Bullrun either, this is her second time around with her father. www.myspace.com/kristineelezaj










Vivid Racing- 2001 996 Porsche Twin Turbo. This car looks really amazing, great paint job right?? But get up close and you’ll notice that the entire car is wrapped in vinyl. The car is actually yellow! Good thinking on Dan’s part. He’s the owner of Vivid racing, check out his website. www.vividracing.com
