    On October 30th, the Modball Rally (formerly known as Gumball rally) will use Chicago as one of its starting points for the East Coast rally.

    I'm looking forward to this. Last time they were in town, it was a tremendous collection of the best exotics and the craziest people.

    That's awesome! I've always hoped we would have one of these come to Chicago.

    Modball isn't the Gumball. The Gumball was just recently ran this month, started in LA and ended in Miami.

    Yeah, they stayed at the Peninsula downtown. I was there for the send-off. Some really hot cars including the infamous Roland Linder F40LM (replica). :)

    Yeah, I was down there when they came in the afternoon before. I remember we could hear Roland roaring around from blocks away. I just love the way exotics echo downtown.

    Road and Track, May issue:

    An article about Worldclassdriving's extreme weekend where they teach people on how to slingshot around an airfield to get the cars past the 200 mph mark. One of the instructors is Roland Linder.
