Toni & Dallas

Toni Imbimbo and Dallas Imbimbo are a Mother/Son team on The Amazing Race 13.

For much of the Race the mother and son duo of Toni & Dallas proved to be a formidable team. Dallas spent much of the season flirting with Starr, a relationship that was complicated by him and his mother being Nick & Starr's biggest threat near the end of the season. However, in the process of completing the Stalin/Lenin statue counting Roadblock in Moscow, Dallas accidentally left their fanny pack, containing all their money and passports, on the floor of his cab, and with no money or traveling credentials they were not able to make it to the Pit Stop to complete the leg, as Phil came out onto the course to eliminate them in 4th place.

Toni and Dallas have always been there for each other and will let nothing come between them. They are hoping the Race will provide them with some quality family time they've been missing out on since Dallas has been away at college - and maybe even a million dollars.

As a single mother, Toni sacrificed quite a bit to give Dallas a great childhood. Now Dallas is in college and living on his own.

Dallas can be very persuasive and enjoys getting people to do what he wants. His pet peeve about his Teammate is that she tells very long-winded stories. He describes himself as outgoing, persistent and passionate.

Toni considers herself a leader, but knows that she'll need to lean on her son a bit more by relying on Dallas's strengths rather than telling him what to do. Her biggest accomplishment has been raising her son. She currently works for herself as a corporate accounting consultant.

With Dallas's constant flirting and sarcasm and Toni's laughter and personality, they are sure to be one of the most entertaining Teams on the Race.^[1]
