Gumball Rally

You definitely won't miss me when you see the Maserati. It will look quite different.

 

Sounds good. PM me your contact info. I'll be in LA a couple of days before the rally for appearances and tv and radio interviews.

 

Just a little bit of money.

 

Whats the Damage to be "Navigator"?

 

I knew this was going to happen the minute I pulled out being Steve's co-pilot. you guys be safe...

 

Sorry Haig. You would have been the perfect co-pilot. I'll do my best to have just a little bit of fun, however it will probably be boring.

 

Gonna try and make it down there. What time are cars going to be at the pier at?


BTW, check this out!

Do you best to have a just little bit of fun??? HUMMM... you are you kidding??? lol

 

I believe the cars will be there at 11:00 Saturday and we take off at 2:00.

 

I thought it started on Friday?

 

It does, but that's the big send off party!

We leave Saturday from the pier.

 

For those of us w/ smaller budgets - you can have your very own Gumball:

Cool. I'll go down there at the pier May 2 then?

 

Last year at the Hollywood stop there was a special display for non-participant cars, including lots of Ferraris. Does anyone know if they're having that this year too?

 

We haven't been told of anything like that.

 

I thought that the kickoff was Friday morning? So what exactly is going on Friday as opposed to Saturday??

 

friday is the entrant car show/live concert/private vip party.etc
saturday morn will mainly be the hung over contestants staggering ( well maybe a third of them the rest will be chipper) to their cars,last minute primping and then clocking out at the starting line for the first leg..heres a link that explains friday....lots of stuff happening in 3 seperate locations

So what time do the cars leave on Saturday?

 

We launch at 1:00 PM Saturday - hungover or not.

 

Are we allowed to follow you to State line?

 

From the videos I've seen from past Gumballs --- it's less likely that it will be "not"

 

I don't think they can stop people from following. I think it would be great if you did.

 

This year's Gumball isn't just for those driving on the 3000 mile dash from Los Angeles to Miami. You too can come down and join the spectacle at one of our five free public displays of some of the world's most desirable motors. We'll be setting up shop in Santa Monica, Santa Fe, Dallas, New Orleans and Miami so come down and join the party.
