It has the map of where it starts and where it will finish... and I think they will print out maps and hand them out there. Your best bet is to have a driver and have a navigator if it's going to be your first time... Feel free to ask questions.
gay. The cannon ball is classically a 3000 mile race. This is nothing but a joy cruise, stealing the cannon ball name

woah, the meet starting point is literally 2 blocks from where i live. I'll have to show to just see the cars, but i've had my fair share of tickets in the past, no more crazy runs except for the track for me.

I hope anyone that's going has good rain tires It will be like my first time at motorsport ranch (after 6" of downpouring rain in 1 hour) ... it will definitely test your driving skill!

Be safe, I won't be there.

easy killer

The Gumball 3000 is an annual 3000-mi (5000 km) international car rally that occurs on public roads, typically in Europe. With stops at tourist attractions or in large urban centers, the race is modeled after coast-to-coast races in the United States and garners international news coverage and participation from celebrities in film, television, music, fashion, and modeling.

it definitely was a beautiful night, but you didn't miss much. there were a ton of people there, but maybe 5 that looked a day over 20. i hung out for the initial meet and left with the group, but split off 5 minutes into the drive. too many kids trying to show off to each other with WAY too many innocent people on the roads.

there were easily 60-70+ cars racing around the metroplex. that's a game of russian roulette that i just wasn't up for

^That's one thing I was afraid of with an event like this, it just turns into a free for all of "hey look at me" while doing 80 on the highway. I think you made the right decision by steering clear...
