CannonBall Run Europe.
WOW, the other day I pickup a DVD called MISCHIEL INVASION, its all about the Cannonball Run Race in Europe, Its the coolest thing in the world, The race starts in the UK then to Spain, France, Afracia, and back to the UK all in 5 DAYS!! 80% of the time they are going 150 mph in crazy cars like supras and modified 550hp Porsche GT2s.. just about everything, I even saw a white Porsche 944 turbo hauling ass. Dude Europe Has some of the coolest cars.
So I was thinking we should do a race like that Here, only for us water cooled P-cars like 931,944,951,924, It would be awsome, It wouldnt have to be on such a large scale, maybe threw a couple of towns or 3 states or something, WHat do you think??

It would be great ...
but it would probably take 5 months at the speeds our cars go. ..........and then take into account the court hearings etc..etc..

Maybe we could do a 944/24/68 relay race. Two teams, South vs North. South team is Miami to San Diego. North Team is New York to Seattle. Both teams get a water pump (think: baton) and who ever gets the water pump to their finish line 1st, wins.
I could cover the Houston to San Antonio leg of the race.

Umm, yeah. I have 3 of the Mischief videos and they are rediculous. I haven't gotten around to buying the new one yet but in the other ones, the entry fee for the race is $10,000 and one guy gets at least 12 tickets over the course of 4 days. It's crazy. The get arrested and pulled over a lot. These aren't your avg 944 owners, these guys have money to burn. I would love to do it but the incestment is unbelievable. One guy had a Ferarri for a week before doing the rally and afterwards, there was no paint left on the whole nose of the car. It was totally ruined. I wish I could get in on that....*sigh*.....
