WOW! What do I say......

I can't tell you just how this makes me feel. It's a mixed bag of emotions. I have been close twice and both times beat by some really cool cars. It is very easy to say that I am happy to have the Bullrun return to tv but bumbed that we hit that F'in  wall again. Funny, I was fine with getting passed by in this round of casting because I had some hope of making the next one. That was before I learned it was a  VW Classic that took us out. I don't think I would have cared if it was any other car made by VW. But did it have to be a Classic Bus!

I know Bill's bus is sweet and will do a great job in holding up the hobbie's pride. Still I don't think any other VW fan or Bullrun Fan (other than the uber rich teams that run it every year) has built a car just for this rally. I didn't build it for shows or drags it was built for BULLRUN down to the suicide doors. Every part, gear, and modification was added to win this type of race. I started to build this car the first time I saw a Bullrun Rally. I told myself that if I could design a unique car that can stand strong with the likes of Team Policia or Team Texas (Richard Rawlins) my personal favorite then I would have a bitchin car. I BUILT THAT CAR!

It is everything I thought it would be. I get to enjoy it everyday because it is such a great design. But knowning that another classic v-dub made the cut....Man that hurts just because I know in my heart of hearts that MISTER HAPPY isn't going to ever get that chance to win. It's a two time loser and lets face it they aren't going to be picking another V-dub for season three. There are way to many great cars that are waiting for a chance to be a part of the Bullrun! for casting to return to the Classic Line of VW's.

You might say "but its a bug and not a bus" it's a different car. That might be true but it isn't going to be a shock like the bus is. It will be "Oh, we have seen a VW before.".  MISTER HAPPY loses the impact that I counted on to make it special and stand out from the other cars.

You know the sad thing is my car would have dropped peoples jaws as I destroyed cars in leg after leg. I was willing to give it everything even if it meant destorying the car. I told you that it was built for this race and I would have done whatever was needed to win. Even if it meant burning MISTER HAPPY to the ground. 

I also told you guys that I never give up unless there isn't any chance of achiving my goals. I believe that time has come for Me and MISTER HAPPY!. I am going to remain a fan of one of the greatest auto events every to grace NORTH AMERICA but I not going to enter us in any more casting calls.
