I have a friend who got contacted for the first season, and all she wouldn't really tell me why she was called in the first place.
they contacted me and 2 of my girl friends through our myspace pages. I guess since I have like 900000 car pictures that may have had something to do with it. LOL

They signed release forms at the beginning of the show stating they can not hold the producers/Bullrun responsible for any damage done to your vehicles during filming... that you understand that damages may occur and you accept responsibility for it yourself.

They drive you through the course as MANY times as you want, and if you have any questions about which direction to go, they'll answer and explain it until you are comfortable and ready to go. It's unfortunate that happened to them, but they only have themselves to blame. Production didn't tell them to crash their car, the crashed it themselves.

You'd be surprised It comes down to how well you can handle your car, regardless of what-wheel-drive it is

Well its not really that its just the last 2 seasons I want to say all the cars were RWD? However I could be mistaken and also could be different for this year?

All due respect, that is not how it happened when we filmed. First the contracts were absolutely unenforceable. You CANNOT contract away your rights to being kept safe and you CANNOT contract away gross negligence on the part of a production. The contracts were created to intimidate any wouldbe lawsuits in the case of anything going wrong. There was a lawsuit against Bullrun from Season 1 and they settled out of court.

In our case we ABSOLUTELY were not allowed to drive through the course "as many times as you want." The Bullrun producers may have learned from their mistake, I am not sure. As far as explaining the course until we were comfortable, well that is partly true. The problem was that we were driven up to the chain-link fence but not one time allowed to personally inspect the other side of the fence, nor were we in any way warned of the obstacles or which way to go after the fence. We were told to "stay on the course" but told that the course ended at the fence. Everything beyond the fence was a mystery until we learned the hard way...Once we totaled the car, and my Evo was lodged into the concrete block that was hidden behind weeds, it was clear to EVERYBODY that you better not go straight through the fence (the logical way when you are exiting a finish line.

We could have died. I wouldn't be combating the lies that Bullrun constructed if we were allowed to inspect and/or drive the WHOLE course. It was both negiligent and dangerous that they did not. They should have clearly marked the end of the course (cones/tape/whatever) if they wanted us to travel a certain way...The fact is they had very little experience coordinating stunts, the stunt coordinator was NOT a stunt coordinator, and the producers were hoping for a crash, so they didn't really care about the safety of contestants.

They left my car in New Mexico for 10 months, wouldn't tell me where it was, stuck me with the bill (+$,2000), extensively damaged my car with a forklift, still owe me money, and have never returned my personal property to this very day...They edited the footage to make us look as bad as possible because they were PISSED that I walked off set.

They are total scumbags.

Anyone who thinks "reality" TV is reality is a chump...He who controls the video footage and the editing controls the "reality."

And one more thing: When they claimed we lost the 4th challenge, they lied.

I agree with your reality statement 100%! It wouldn't surprise me if what your saying is 100% true, but since I was not present I don't want to point fingers. I'm sorry about your car, I loved seeing a clean evo and I hated watching one go.

BTW: out of curosity are either of you from the tristate area?

doesn't sound like he's raining on her parade... just correcting her false statements regarding the events of the first season that she had no personal experience with.

i don't know anything about the show, nor do i care... but congrats on getting on TV and having fun in a 600hp car

just watched the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtpK6I-n_cY

that cement barrier wasn't marked clearly at all, nor was it very visible. I'd have been pissed too... the production team should have had that moved or the exit marked clearly to point the driver where to go

i don't care if you're a douche bag or not... that just looks negligent on the production company's part
