Gumball3000

Ive DLed over two hours of Gumball footage. Rather cool footage if you ask me. Now, Im just wondering here, but do any of you think something like this would work up here....a cross Canada cruise/rally? Im not talking about a race across Canada(although Im sure some speeding would be going on)

It would be a fun event to hook up with other enthusiasts/speed freaks....stay at some fine hotels, show off your ride, and see the this great country of ours.

Lets hear it.

A gumball rally would be a cool idea if you set out to do so. I don't know if I could afford all the gas and hotels let alone the mass amounts of speeding tickets I'd get. Want really good footage find the episodes were they do the Gumball 3000 on Jackass. They go to Europe in an 89 Jaguar POS. From London to Russia and back. F'n hillarious.

There is a couple spin off events similiar to the Gumball. One is called the Players Run and another trying to get going is the Cannonball3000. The Gumball is the number one event right now. It would cost you your left nut to enter it.....about 12k US. The 03 Gumball ran in the States this year and the 04 event will be in Europe somewhere.

I think if you were in a group of 50 other cars doing 120mph plus, you might think differently.
