I have an ORIGINAL idea, who wants to make it happen???? Lens?
 

Came up with the idea of a webmaster road rally a few years ago. Something like the Gumball 3000

http://gumball3000.com/new/launch.htm


Spoke to some people in the biz, got good feedback. Had several sponsors lined up. Original plan was to start in SF, hit LA, Phx, and end up in Vegas at the Vegas Motor Speedway. In each location have a killer dinner and first class party.

With as many people in this biz who own great cars and love to show them off, there should be no shortage of participants. Of course a $100k car is not necessary. It is not a "race" ,as holding a race on public roads would not be legal.


Original plan was to have each party/dinner sponsored by a local company. Each car pay an entry fee, with a portion going to a charity. In theory, event would be for charity.

Unfortunately, I got caught up with other projects and never made it a reality. If someone wants to take the idea and run with it, I will turn over the idea and research we have done. As well as assist in any way I can.

Rallies are one of my specialties! Bring it here and I will shoot it!

That'd be fun, though I'm not sure how many people would have that much time to give to be on the road? Would be cool if it could work out. :)

Cheers,

BTW, guy from Dallas won the Gumball 3000 in a yellow Ferrari 360 last year. Started with a brand new car, ended up tearing it to pieces, but winning the race. Ferrari dealer told me he would have been lucky to get $100k for the car after the race. He paid $175k for it a month earlier.

Sounds like fun actually. Poker runs are also fun also for those who enjoy boating. Here's an event that we participate in every year.

lets split the prize since we obviously will win

nice camera you got there! sharp and clean!

It's a great idea, but what about us south florida webmasters? There are some very nice convertables around her also ya know...:Graucho

Ive done all the Gumballs bar one and I am doing this years, I posted a thread ages ago about a GFY team, the great thing about the 2004 Gumball is that it finishes at the Cannes Film Festival, so there is sponsor possibility in the porn film industry if you know the right people to chat to.


RACEMAN :thumbsup

sounds like fun, I wonder if SweetT will let me use his bus:Graucho

Just to prove Bradshaw's idea aint original

"he he he he he he"

Saaawwwreeee BradShaw


:thumbsup

I'm soooooo down for this idea.
:thumbsup

Its original for me. Regardless, hopefully will take the idea and run.

Unlike the first post I made last year you guys have very little chance to get on it unless you "put up or shut up"

I spoke with the organisers wife on Monday and she said there are only 30 places left.

Maximillion does not go for numbers but quality, now it should be £8,000 per car inc 2 peeps but if you come to on mass and say you are gonna do it i might be able to get Max to do a little deal

Up to you guys, Ive chatted o loads of you before about this and you all got a hard on thinking about it.

i will say for the money its the best 6 days you will ever have.

you wanna do it msg me on ICQ 117151486


RACEMAN :thumbsup

I have a feeling it would be mostly wiggers with 5,000 dollar cars with rims that cost 2,500

You should hit up Dugmor. :)

rooster, you are so way off the truth there, dude I met on the 2000 Gumball had a Mclaren F1 £650,000 car that he used daily to go to work in London, Ive been on a few and there aint any wiggers......

The Gumball has no class distiction either you dont have to be "rich" to do it just be a bag of fun and enjoy it.......


Its OK Bradshaw I wasnt meaning that as a bragg, just pointing it out, I had loads of chats with peeps about it then nothing and still nothing, even after your post.

:thumbsup

That pt cruiser cop car is pretty rad

or maybe some AutoX :glugglug

AutoX ???? what are you going on about

BUMP

ooppssss did I just do that

"he he he he he"

My money is on the team SilverCash S7



I am taking applications for a short African American Jewish Lounge singer who would be interested in co-piloting in a red Ferarri while wearing a Priest costume?????

The Priest costumes have been done before in 2000 and i must admit those guys were so fucking funny........


:thumbsup

Good idea.

Brads idea is original, I came up with it in March of 2002.

Thank you. I love my Nikon F5 :)

I'll be there :thumbsup

I will do it , but you have to make it cross country at least !

Multiple day ! See who can drive across country the fastest , with the least amount of sleep !

Kimmykim you may of come up with the idea but you aint done one.

:thumbsup

Dugmor, its drive drink party more party then drive drink and more party then drive drink and more party,

Do you rec you can keep up with that ????


:thumbsup

Would anyone be drving a classic ? :Graucho

Loads of people drive classic cars on the Gumaball

:thumbsup

I just want to see some damn classic car pics !
:)

Well I was talking to Charlo from MegaPornbucks! A top notch program in my opinion.. and a friend.. To see if he would be intrersted in doing the race with me..
and he said,... That you Brad Shaw could shove gumballs up your ass and that he feels sorry for laura for marrying such a worthless piece of shit!!!

Charlo has bigger problems, like the FTC and Microsoft.

Id love to do it if some people would sponsor me..

The BP4L Navigator..

I have three TVS, 2 DVD Players, PS2, and a 6000.00 sound system in my Navigator.

It would be a great Road trip ride for the BP4L.

Im not a big rich paysite owner like you boys, so id need sponsorship...

this type of thing...
