Kicking of Bullrun Rally 2012 with Team Hudson Jeans

We left from Hollywood Blvd at 1030 am, 60 exotic cars took off – first destination Pismo beach.  Through speed and great navigation we came in first place.  The next car came in 20 seconds later. Then we set off for San Francisco. We decided to use some back roads and then the full use of the GTRs Top speed to place 1st again in!! A brilliant day.

DAY 3:

We left lake Tahoe, everyone turned left. We went right.  After driving like crazy we arrived in Virginia City NV in First place for the first check in.  We beat everyone by at least 20 mins. We then all left for Reno Fernley raceway and we also got first place at that check in. Final destination was Boise Idaho.  We had two issues. Cops pulled us over and our front diffuser came off. But we still came in in 5th Still a really good day.

DAY 4:

Today wasn’t so good in terms of results. Left Boise heading to Mitchell Oregon. We were out front and got pulled over 30 miles from the check point.  We then  came in 9th. Next leg was Mitchell to Portland Oregon. Incredible scenery, great roads, again we were out front but pulled 3 times!!  In the end we fought our way back to 4th place.  Pretty good.

TO BE CONTINUED….

For Hump Day Happy Hour we have cocktail suggestions for your Super Bowl party this weekend.

For the New York Giant’s Fan we suggest a good old fashion Whiskey Sour. This sour whiskey drink is a favorite for many and the grenadine adds a sweet touch that is pleasing to the taste buds. For the Boston Patriots Fan we suggest a Boston favorite cocktail - Gin, apricot brandy, grenadine, and a splash of lemon and garnish with an orange-cherry flag.

No matter who wins at least you will be prepared with a perfectly delicious cocktail to keep the party going!
