Breakfast was at Ruth Chris Steak house at the Embassy suites and it was buffett style. I was a little hung over so food was not on my agenda. We all ate and then lined up for the days checkpoint card. Tony and I hoped in the back of the STI and were ready to ride along. We were now heading to Slocomb, AL. Todays drive was very strange. Almost all the Bullrunners were pulled over in groups because people on the road were calling in and complaining about reckless driving. The bad thing is that the ones who were driving crazy were already past the cop checkpoints so we all got lectured for their driving. When we got around 10 miles from the checkpoint about 6 of us were pulled over again. It was crazy because we were all doing the speed limit. The cops held us for about 20-30 minutes before they let us all leave, which put us towards the back of the pack. Rich from season 1 was at our stop in Slocomb with his mustang and he was driving with us to the days final destination, which was Destin, FL. Our hotel was right on the bay. Dinner was at the beach, right on the gulf! It was so prestine. The sand was like flour and very white. The water was warm and the air was just perfect for our event. The after party was to be at The Village Door. Several of us arrived there and the Bullrun crew ended up being 90% of the places customers. All of a sudden Claus said we needed to leave because they weren't letting some of our friends in. They weren't accepting their European Licenses. We all left and headed to Rum Runners. Village Door probably lost about $10,000 in sales, it was a bad move on their part.
Team Wu decided to punk everyone. There was 27 people that got in the F150 truck to go back to the hotel after dinner. They were pulled over by 9 cops, a few passengers slowly walked away and headed to the hotel but a few got stuck behind. Wu told everyone his girlfriend was arrested and they were impounding the truck. The truck wasn't registered to the girls driving it so they were freaking out. Finally about a half hour later. Wu shows up with his girlfriend and calls the Team Texas girls downstairs. They were in the room trying to figure out how they were gonna get their truck back!!
p.s . the dealership had called earlier in the day to let us know we had burned a hole in a piston in cylinder one. Since the banking was so severe on the track and we have a forced induction turbo car, when we were on the turns we leaned out the valve (starved it of fuel) If we would have put gas in the car it never would have happened!! Sucks!!
