The Bullrun in Less Than 12 Parsecs
July 28, 2005

[ The Bullrun in Less Than 12 Parsecs ]Everyone knows that Anakin is one of the fastest pilots in the galaxy, but what would happen if he had access to a racecar on this planet? Find out in a real-life Podrace with Bullrun USA 2005 -- an 8-city, 3,000-mile cross-country rally event featuring souped up race cars and thrill-seeking celebrities.

Hayden Christensen, Carmen Electra, Paris Hilton, Nick Lachey, Frankie Muniz, Dennis Rodman and numerous other celebrities get behind the wheel of some of the most impressive vehicles in this galaxy including Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, Rolls Royce Phantoms, Ferraris, and Porsches.

[ The Bullrun in Less Than 12 Parsecs ] In honor of Christensen's participation in the rally, Lucasfilm created one-of-a-kind T-shirts for the Jedi actors to pass out to fans they meet along the way. The front of the shirt dons the fan-favorite slogan of "Sith Happens" while the back of the shirt reads, "8 Days, 8 Cities, 4 Sith, 2 Cars, 1 Winner. Bullrun July 22-29, 2005."

As tempting as it may be for the celebrities to put the pedal to the metal, Bullrun USA 2005 isn't a traditional car race, but instead a rally where the drivers are credited for getting to various check points the quickest while abiding by local speed limits.

The rally is expected to air on the Bravo channel in November. For more information on Bullrun USA 2005, visit the official site here.
