i can't remember for the life of me what the name of the shop was BEFORE ara bought it and turned it into bullish back in the day. george and burt ran it...they did a heck of a lot of tuning and builds out of that place. i remember the one dude would wear hulkster stuff with a mullet and he was a former chippendales dancer. he was a huge starion/conquest fan.

George's shop was Rally Motorsports & Burt's was Pro Store and then they merged and became Pro-Rally and then they merged with Ara and became Bullish... brings back memories I loved going out and watching those solaras

YESSIR! Rally...thanks dude.

i remember when i went to get my car tuned by burt and ara was there with his supra. he was telling the dude i was with about the plans for the solaras without saying what they were - he had him guess and eventually he got it.

bobby's corner deli is still there to this day - that place was amazing to eat while you waited.

wow... Back in the days..
George was a big VW/Audi fan. He used to road race them with a buddy of mine.
He was even into rotary's for a while before he got into the supra's...

yep. the first time i was there, i saw a third gen rx-7 with 3 MSD 6al boxes and a first gen haltech. i was amazed.

That was george's car.. He used to street race that car all the time..

And the Solara is just sitting there ready to run.



That was taken in June of this year. Me and one of my buddies made the drive out there to pick up one of his spare trannys that I bought off of him.

It was fun shooting the **** with him about the good ole days.

A friend of mine had his Integra built and tuned by George at Rally Motorsports, that goes way back.

I wish those cars we dont see anymore would make random appearences at events. I loved watching MSP, Titan, Bullish, Rau, etc run.

Rhman19

Yeah I loved those cars. I think I will always remember the MSP and Vinny Ten battles. Definitely some great racing.

my favorite car was the rwd crx that sardis had. i don't recall but a few passes out of that thing, but man - it was nasty.

So this is the car Ara crashed at the Nopi event, I believe. I didn't know they repaired the damage because it sounded like a bad wreck. This was after George had stopped driving, so Ara pulled out the other car and raced it, which is of course the car that Manny Cruz has now. You can see the damaged body pieces on the wall in the pic.

Enzo-Racing

Manny bought the crashed car and fixed it.

whats the deal with Bullish? Is the business still in operation Or did they just retire their race program?
