The Gumball 3000 will have one of the 3 stages held in the USA.
The "World Cannonball 2007" will be entirely in the USA.
And since that one is entirely in the USA, and because it is the least expensive, that is why I wondered if any Pelicans found it of interest.
Listening to some of the quotes from interviewees on the Gunball site, one said "This is the best thing I have ever done in my life." Coming from somebody who has enough disposable income to throw down £40k on a rally. Proof, to me, that it's not about how much money you have, but rather what you choose to do with that money. But I digress....
You'll have stories to tell for the rest of your life!
And as kach22 mentioned, an "outlaw" rally in the USA is somewhat of an anachronism today. Probably why they haven't had one since 1979.
In the day of 55mph speed limits, making the trip in < 33 hours meant really exceeding the limit. Now that the limits are higher, I feel that the risk is a lot lower. Of course, all the promo stickers on your car will still make you a target.
