The founders are inaugurating a new event in mid-2007 called the Great American Run. But more newsworthy than that is its confirmed partner in crime, as it were. That is, motorsports shop Saleen. The winner of the don't-call-it-a-race will receive one of 25 special-edition Saleen Mustangs to be built for the event. According to rally site GT Spirit, the cars — 11 of which have been sold to rally entrants — will be tuned to produce 600 hp. The cars reportedly do zero to 60 mph in under four seconds, with a top speed of 200 mph. They're no TransCom ambulance, but well, Jack Elam's no longer with us anyway. – Mike Spinelli More »

Every year a group of journos from the Midwest get together at Road America in the wilds of Wisconsin to test the latest offerings from the automakers. This year there were more cars than ever and the weather was more than kind. Early in the morning it looked like the damp track would see more rain but luckily the automotive gods smiled on us and we had perfect driving conditions all day. More »

Repeat after us, "It's a rally not a race, it's a rally not a race..."
Team Polizei's Alex Roy & Alli Joseph skipped the Bullrun Lingerie Party at the Las Vegas Palms in order to get some rest before pushing hard on Day 2. Expectations had been very high both for Team Polizei and our nemesis, Richard Rawlings, yet both of us had fallen short on the Bullrun's first day.

This one reminds us of threading a needle, only with more speeding trucks coming head-on, and less actual thread. We'll let Alex set the scene. More »

What followed may be the most insane Gumball 3000 incident ever caught on video. [Update: We owe our new factchecker, Chris, a quart of rocky road. The police car is actually a Subaru Legacy 2.5 AWD.
