Dear Friends and Family, I am pleased to announce the 2007 line up for Team Darkcyd who will be participating in the 2007 Bull Run. The run is from Montreal to Key West starting on May 12th and will include 3 main cars, one spare, a chase vehicle, and believe it or not, an all black 18 wheeler race team semi with full garage, living quarters, and room for 4 cars. We have really gone out this year on many levels, and I anticipate this will be our second to last US based rally as it is simply is too costly from a licence and potential insurance perspective. If all goes acording to plan we do our last US based Rally, The Players Run, Calgary to Cabo San Lucas in September. Markus puts on a great event. For 2007 we have upgraded my Main car to an all Black Murcielago with Black Maya rims. This car has about 575 HP and looks evil just parked, without even hearing the 6.2 liter engine. This car has been in prepped for two weeks now after a full service was done which included pulling the engine , and thanks to my good friend and master car prepper Jimmy Lowry and his team who literally spent over 4 hours placing the Team name on our 18 wheel semi at 12:30 last night after the cars were loaded on it to ship up north, but alas the cars and everything is complete. The Murci has all the goodies including jammers, scanners, detectors, Navigation, Custom sound /ipod Hookup etc. and new for all our team cars, real time GPS tracking. So everyone with a password will be able to go to http://www.gps-snitch.com/ and log in with a password to track our progress in real time. The username is gpstracking@darkcydracing.com Password is darkcyd Joining us is again is an international team including members from Germany, Turkey, and Canada.

Line up is as follows Driver Navigator Robb Rill / Tara Rill in the Darkcyd Murci Peter Kolb / Bulent Akkaya our fearless European rally drivers will be in the Darkcyd CLK DTM, Alex /Danyell Fima our laid back California Cool friends will be running in the Darkcyd Gallardo Geoff Wall / Aaron T our internationally reknown navigator who won the Vail stage and several top 5 finishes last year will be running in the Darkcyd Navi as chase/recon. Last to round it out will be Patrick and Linda in the 18 wheel Mobile Darkcyd Garage which will hold spares and the Darkcyd Twin Turbo Esprit as a back up car. Unfortunately, Bart "The Bomber" Colson who was running in the Darkcyd SLR had a last minute personal matter to attend to and had to drop out. Our thoughts are with him. We are excited, but it has been a significant amount of work getting to this point, and we are still not done. There is still equipment to get, electronics to be trained on, and logistics to sort out. Cars should all be in Vermont by Thursday and the team should be crossing to Montreal Friday morning for final prep. I also have to reflect on the recent deaths during the Gumball 3000 over the last days, and although I do not know all the details and it is easy to judge, it is quite bothersome knowing what I have witnessed on past events with people doing well beyond what is appropriate endangering peoples lives. It is a rally, not a race, and people take it to extremes. Getting a little aggressive, depending on conditions and surroundings can be ok, going all out with hard lane passing and all out racing to be first at all costs is not. Its beyond stupid. It's one thing if you want to kill yourselves doing something you love, but killing or hurting others is just not acceptable. I would like to think people will learn from the recent events and those thoughts will keep them in check before they are about to do something stupid that will change their lives for the worse forever. I plan to do daily write ups as I always do as the action progresses, and if for some reason you do not get the email, please check the our site which has been updated a bit at www.darkcydracing.com for daily write ups, pictures, and video which eventually will get posted after editing. I was hoping to have a sneak preview for everyone ready of last years Bullrun event , but it is still in editing, and no date for release has been set, although shotting for later this week. Hope you enjoy the action as it unfolds, as we enjoy creating it.
