[DeTomaso] Bull Run

[John Taphorn]

Jason

I also watched the episode last night.  I was astounded that the director 
expected the drivers to pilot their cars through a chain link fence.  I was 
even more surprised that no one objected.  Had you made it to through that 
leg and were placed in that situation, would you have driven the Pantera 
through the chain link fence?  Were the participants aware of the 
intentional damage the program's directors were exposing the cars to prior 
to agreeing to participate?  Based on the Ferrari's drivers initial comment 
in the first episode on the potential damage caused by the clear plastic 
door strips he had to drive through when exiting the starting point, one 
would think not. Their potential damage to his paint job would seem mild in 
comparison.

Also, why did you drive the jet ski and your friend drive the Pantera in the 
challenge you faced?

We appreciate the behind the scenes commentary.
