With only 6 days until the Bullrun 2008 Rally gets underway, check out some more action from last year's Montreal to Key West run.

Team Texas return from their record-breaking NY-LA dash and, it turns out, speeding in Virginia is not a good idea, as one Bullrunner discovers.

Bullrun Rally 2007 Episode 6 of 10

The Bullrunners leave the college town of Staunton, VA and head towards Savannah, GA. Alas, the VA cops have heard of the rally's progress South and are out in force.

This leads to much discussion about what counter measures teams are using to avoid the hands of the law. The lunchtime stop is in Concord where the teams are treated to a Viper drfit demo and get to do a few laps of the small track.

The Bullrunners continue their journey South, peeling out of Vineyard 49 on Long Island and headed for Atlantic City.

Unsurprisingly, Claus in the TechArt Cayenne arrives in 1st place, having caught the early ferry. Behind him, Bullrunners jostle for position, attempting to beat traffic, stay ahead of the law and head in the right direction. Yeah, the whole 'Head South' thing can get confusing.

Meanwhile, Team Texas' Richard Rawlings and Dennis Collins have been tearing across the country and, at around 5am East Coast time, they make a triumphant phone call to Jay Riecke to call in their $50,000 bet. Their transcontinental time? A ridiculously-fast 31:59.

Morning in Atlantic City means bleary eyes and sore heads all round (boy, those blue rinse old ladies in A.C. sure know how to party...) as everyone heads for a checkpoint at Bullrun National Park. Alas, Team Lotus and Team CEC both fall prey to the cops and Team Riecke 2 just can't seem to find the right road.

A quick pit stop and the cavalcade heads for Staunton, VA. This small town ain't seen nothing like this before and all the locals pack the streets to welcome Bullrun to town. They're rewarded by Mardi Gras beads, thongs & t-shirts thrown from the top of a Hummer and a night of partying they're likely to remember for years to come.

Bullrun Rally 2007 Episode 4 of 10

More rally action from the 2007 Bullrun. The teams leave Boston en route to Atlantic City. Claus Ettensberger of CEC Wheels takes an early lead and is the only one to get the 10am ferry to Long Island, no doubt aided by his hugely powerful Cayenne TechArt.

Lagging behind, Mike "Mr. Angry" Musto gets, er, angry when a Brabus GL450 rear ends his classic Charger. Between that, a run-in with the cops and an extremely empty fuel tank, it probably wasn't his favorite leg.

More motoring madness from the Bullrun Rally 2007. The teams leave Montreal, heading for the US border, New Hampshire for lunch and, finally, Boston for the first night's party.

Meanwhile, Team Riecke bets Team Texas $50,000 that they can't beat the NY to LA record. Funnily enough, they accept the challenge! Well, wouldn't you for that amount of cash?!

The Bullrun Rally 2008 is just 1 month away: 8 days of high-octane, petrol-headed insanity running from Calgary to Phoenix, AZ.

Continental Divide
Got a few grand to spare and some extra holiday time saved up? Well then, you'll be wanting to contact those nice boys over at Bullrun HQ to try and score yourself an invitation. The 2008 Bullrun Rally - "the most glamorous road rally ever" - runs from June 20th-27th from Calgary, Canada to Phoenix, AZ.

100 cars and 200 drivers / co-pilots will spend 8 days of hard driving and partying on their way South on a route that's said to follow the Continental Divide - so think Montana, Colorado, New Mexico - but is anyone's guess until route cards are handed out each morning.

Highlights of the '08 Rally will include a spectacular start line event, closed course challenges by the Hollywood stunt team that brought you the Bullrun show on Spike TV, race track events, exclusive parties and as always an unbelievable selection of roads with some of the most stunning scenery in the USA.

Rumor has it a Veyron and 2 R8s are already signed up, so plenty of auto eye candy. No word yet on whether Paris "Jailbird" Hilton, Mario "Won Everything" Andretti or Hayden "Jumper" Christensen will provide eye candy of the human kind. More info at Bullrun
