Fluge Global Adventures

Entering the state of Oklahoma at speeds of 150 mph - the state police cars showed patience waiting for the FGA saleen after Fluge stopped to fill-up the ultimate bad boy with high test octane.

Laying in wait further down I-44 the State Police were setting the traps to catch the Ultimate Bad Boys, Nick Fluge and Bill Lowblad. Radar detectors resounded throughout the automobile. Fluge slammed on the brakes and took the speed below 100MPH but wasn’t fully able to escape the ticket.

One of the many Cannonball cars to earn the badge of honor for the day, the Fluge-Lowblad team was still able to get back on the road and was the 4th car to pull into Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Perlinger girls (2nd FGA Team) had a non eventful run - but did a great job and are postioned strongly going into leg 3.

With Stage Two under their belts the Rocky Mtns and Denver loom ahead. After everyone arrived in Tulsa there were muliple tickets for the 00’s of cars, and a short segment on Fox News showing a helicopter tracking the police catcing a Lamborgini at over 180mph - but unabale to catch Fluge who held a slight lead on the foreign born car. So all in all, the ticket received was far better than it could have been.

Tune in for legs 3, 4 and 5 in the upcoming days.

Nick Fluge and Bill Lowblad driving the FGA Saleen “Bad Boy” Mustang and the Perlinger sisters in the FGA Bentley GT, began the Great American Run week by arriving in New York, dealing with Paparazzi, and even attending  a GAR party at one of the city’s hottest night clubs; Cain on Friday.  They were accompanied by none other than event organizer Tim Porter and a few hundred other Socialites, Celebrities, and Motorheads.

The Rally began late on Saturday (to give the teams adequate recovery) from Friday nights’ events.  All cars left Central Parks’ famous Tavern on the Green at 6pm. 

The first leg of the rally took the contestants through the beautiful but treacherous winding roads of the Poconos.  It continued through Pennsylvania, Ohio and concluded in Indianapolis. 

The average driving time was about 17 hours - that left few opportunities for breaks especially given the departure from Manhatten.  Both the FGA cars finished in just over 15 hours however and stand amongst the leaders at the end of the first leg.

The journey continues with stops in Tulsa, Denver, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.  Stay tuned…
