Thumbs up Bullrun

Have any of you guys done this? I can't afford to get the speeding tickets, but I'd be up for the drive.

I never wanted to do something like this in the US either, because i partially live here .
It would just be stupid to rack up so many points on your license, hell even get it taken away.

I would totally do it in Europe though.
Fake US license plates, fake driver's license = go as fast as i can and never pay the tickets.

My friend did it the year before last. He had an awesome time. For the week of the trip you feel like some kind of celebrity. He met Dennis Rodman, Bam Margera, etc. They didn't get one ticket. They just drove smart. He was in an AMG S65 and his boss was in a 996TT.

I did it last year..still recovering! It was a complete blast, we did it in a Audi RS4 and a Panoz GTLM. Had the Audi up to 174mph and the Panoz past 160mph. A must for gear heads(with a couple of extra bucks).

Yea, I don't wan't to lose my license over this. Do you need a co-pilot or can you run solo? I have to admit I would feel a bit out of place with some of those cars, as ridiculous as that sounds.
