I heard a few things about the GAR from a few different people, and the stories were varying from it was amazing to it was horrible, but the one consistency was that people were disputing the winner because it seems he has lots of money and cars, and has lots to gain by participating in next years run, which is a shoe in since he's the winner. Also, in a competition where it came down to tenths of a second, it seems strange that they would give entire groups of cars who arrived together the exact same time, unlike Bullrun, where time cards are punched.

Seems a little fishy to me, but the cars were sure nice.

 

he didn't say much before. well other than, i hate you guys so much. haaaa

 

he fills up his balls with cash.

p.s.- i had to zap (cauterize) some guy's bleeding vessels on his scrotum a few days ago...lol, i'm sure you did not want to hear that.

 

Yeah in the anonymous traffic that noone cares about

 

you spilled the beans!

 

rob, look at some of the cars in the top, chrylser 300, audi a6, cayman s, porsche boxster.....those are some AMAZING fast cars.....

 

it was not run by fastest time. you had to have the total average speed closest to 61 mph. those numbers are how far off 61 mph average they were for the entire span of the rally.

 

oh nice it was a road rally? Thats pretty pimp.

 

yeah, in theory. however, they gave groups of cars that arrived together the same time. they didn't have individual punch cards. so iif yu take away individual punch cards, yet the winner only wins by tenths of a mile per hour, it leaves way too much to subjective scoring, which is why a few people i talked to were pissed.

 

ah i gotcha, i wish it was like a real scca road rally, now thats something I would totally be interested in.

 

i think it's possible when you consider the fact that they were giving groups of 5 or 6 cars the exact same times for some of the legs. there were over 200 cars on the rally, and when they are driving in big groups and being given the same times, i think it's pretty likely that a bunch will be pretty close together.
