Spike TV's Bullrun 2007 casting call
Spike TV has plans to film the ultimate gearhead reality show. The male-oriented network has opened up their doors to drivers of all varieties, as long as they're witty, photogenic and have a hot car. Since that virtually eliminates about 99.9 percent of the population, like us, plan on living vicariously through others in this ten-part series.For those unaware, the Bullrun is a cross-continent, high-speed, ego-stroking 'rally' that takes place on roads straddling New York and Los Angeles. What Spike seeks to do is get a number of teams together to not only make the 'run, but also assign them a variety of challenges throughout the trip. The show will be broken up into a ten separate episodes, which will include the inevitable personal foibles and wanton debauchery one would expect in any 'reality' show.
The winners will be awarded $250,000 upon completion of the rally and decimation of their competitors. If you've got the cash, car and... manhood go to www.bullruncasting.com.

If you had a passion for your car and were willing to participate in this thing, you probably wouldn't qualify for the part that requests a good driving record. Unless of course you have a great lawyer. So as has already been stated, that elminates 99.9% of us.

If you look at the web site, it looks like a staged "reality" show. Plus, read some of the comments in the forum. They look like they were posted by 40 year old marketing guys, trying to sound cool. Ugh. I'll pass.

I have to agree with the above comments, it does seem more than a little unprofessional. A friend forwarded me on this clip from this years Bullrun. It's a Z06 chasing a Ford GT. The comment at the begining mentions that the GT is being driven by the car's chief designer.

Somewhere on youtube is a promo video for Bullrun. Let's just say that it looks like it was thrown together in an afternoon.
