bruce jenner and B1K

:lol: TMZ nailed this one! for those of you that didn't see this on RDC!



Bruce Jenner will be showing off his immense huevos by competing with his son in the legendary Baja 1000 this week ... thanks to more than $1 million in sponsorships.

Bruce and Burt Jenner will attempt to tame one of the world's most dangerous off-road courses through the Mexican desert at insane speeds -- and the 5-day race ain't cheap.

Sources connected to Team Jenner tell us entry fees alone are $125K minimum, the truck cost $500K ... plus several hundred thousands more in expenses and equipment. All in, we're talking more than $1 million, but Bruce isn't spending a cent of his own dough.

Team owner Craig Potts, along with sponsors Gladiator Tires and House Beer, are putting up all the cash. We're told Burt will drive the 1st 400 miles with Bruce navigating, then Bruce will take the wheel for the 2nd leg ... and Potts gets the home stretch.

The race, which begins Wednesday, is no cake walk. X Games star Kurt Caselli was killed last year, and multiple drivers and spectators have died during the event over the years.
Buena suerte, seņors!

I read he was undergoing a sex change. Is this going to be after the race?

So who is Bruce Jenner?

actually the funny part of the story isn't about bruce jenner (though theres plenty there!) but TMZ's storyline about the race itself.
of course not as funny as megyn kelly's F-bomb!:lol:

Motog beat me to the question....Who is Bruce Jenner? Never mind, I'll google him.....

Olympic star, on cereal boxes, back when I was in high school... Google: He won the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics held in Montreal.

:lol::lol::lol:

I did....just to confirm my memory bank....thanks for the tip....great advice :biggrin:

I guess I should have posted, "Big deal....who cares?" :rolleyes:

Bruce is 65. Driving a custom trophy truck in this race is serious business and mentally plus physically VERY demanding. Skill and being "in shape" are very necessary. It is suggested he will drive the 2nd leg. This will beat him up some!

willardguy - 11-12-2014 at 02:31 PM

:lol: well once again it wasn't about bruce jenner but a humorous jab at TMZ for their story about this 5 day race with an entry fee of a minimum of $125,000.00
but then again, it is bajanomads!:bounce:

monoloco - 11-12-2014 at 03:07 PM

I wish he'd put his whole family in that car and drive it off a cliff so we don't have to hear about them anymore.
