2006 New York - LA
Never before has Times Square seen so many Supercars. If one were to add up the value of all the cars present, it would have to be very close or just over $20 million. The rally was graced with the likes of race car legends, Mario Andretti, driving a supercharged Panoz Esparante Supercar, and Stephan Johansson, driving a yellow Audi RS4, actor, Hayden Christiansen, returning with his Ferrari 360, Musicians, the Cuban Brothers, the fastest man in the worldand Carl Lewis, driving a Spyker C8 Spyder. Of course, the usual rally suspects, Rawlings, the Collins brothers, Omar Sherif and more were present. The rally launched from Times Square at noon, with Mario Andretti leading the charge. The rally headed to Pocono Raceway, where the drivers got a chance to drive around the `tricky triangle.` The rally visited such destinations as: Toronto, Chicago, Kansas City, Great Bend, Vail, Las Vegas and finally Los Angeles. The parties were as wild as ever this year thanks to the Cuban Brothers. As the rally winded its way across the country, the Bullrunners enjoyed some of the finest roads in the country to test their supercars on. With tons of race tracks and memorable checkpoints; such as the Caroll Shelby International Headquarters and the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, 2006 was a year to remember!
