gumball 3000 Anybody wanna go?

I don't know if you guys ever heard of the gumball rally, but it just started today. The last stop is beverly hills on rodeo drive on sunday. But before rodeo drive they will be arriving at the hard rock casino in Vegas on Sat around 7pm they should start rolling in. It should be awesome. snoop dog will be there and tons of other people. If you don't know what it is its like cannonball run but real. 120 of the most exotic cars in the world ferraris, lambos, porche, just to give you an idea. if not look up gumball rally 3000 they have a website. I'm thinking of leaving saturday morning watch all the bad *** come in saturday night at the hard rock and party their that night. and of course the next day they all leave to come beverly hills, rodeo drive. this would be one weekend we would never forgot. Just think 120 of the most exotic cars driving from vegas to LA. They also drive fast. It should be crazy. Hit ME Up. I'm down to go. Its May 6th and May 7th.

That's some good info. So in Vegas on the 6th of May and driving into Beverly Hills on the 7th? I wish I could go down there. I've always wanted to run on the highway with that crowd.

Those runs are so expensive. Last time I was talking to someone who does run the Gumball, it was around 14k entrance fee. But that includes hotels etc. (Not speeding tickets), but still, if you are driving half of those cars, I can see that the fee isn't that much.

The BABE Rally sounds hilarious!! If you're someone who doesn't mind a challenge and has some mechanical skills, it sounds like it could be big fun. Hmmmm, maybe next year?....

Or maybe we need a west coast version!

hum........sounds like an excuse to pull out my hommies GNX.....he caught those fools 2 years ago going around 190. he is over 700 hp with a real gnx (V6 with HUGE turbo and innercooler) with a roadracing setup for the silverstate run. He smokes fools and he is a parapalegic, he uses HAND CONTROLS. pull for gas, push for brake.......He is a nut as you can see. He also owns the black SS 67 camaro I have posted.

Hello and welcome to my first blog from this years gumball rally exlusive to Gumball Live! I'm Maximillion Cooper, the host and proud founder of the rally which kicked off for the eigth consecutive year on Pall Mall yesterday to the sound of thousands of people, the roar of over a hundred of the world most rock and roll supercars, and some dodgy music coming from Goldie Looking Chain's Bedford Rascal!

Since then the 240 Gumballers have crossed beneath the channel, driven through France into Belgium where we stopped at the beautiful Blois Chateau at about one in the morning for dinner. To my surprise hundreds of crazy Gumball fans had waited up for us, a naked girl even tried to get into my car...so guys you know where to come! We then set off to our next check point, breakfast in Vienna and again crowds and crowds of fans lined the streets, motorway bridges and side road hedgeways al the way, I know that to me and all the Gumballers this support really makes the 28 hour drive worthwhile!

So then that was us on the way to our last checkpoint in Europe, the mighty 4 seasons overlooking the Danube in Budapest, yes you guessed it, another few thousand fans thronging the streets all the way in. There have been a few incidents but you're going to have to log onto the gumball live website to find out what they were, while you're there check out the update videos we're posting along the way!

Stay Tuned,


M

they actually landed in Salt Lake and drove out to our new world class track, then from there to Vegas, if any of you can even just drive with them part of the way you will NOT be dissapointed, that was the most amazing experience, going 120 bumper to bumper down a two lane highway, 3 cars wide, these guy are nuts, but they are the coolest group of guys you'll meet, every one of them was friendly. I got a bunch of pics and some video of the drive, i'll post links as soon as i get it all up loaded.
