In either Motortrend or Road and Track the editors drove 80mph the whole way, didn't get one ticket and finished first.

I watched all of the episodes of the one from Europe to Asia to USA on Google Video. It was awesome!

You're talking about the Motor Trend editor Brock Yates, who was one of the creators of the original Cannonball Run.

They did 3 years of the Cannonball Run, which ended after the cops got weary of people doing the race and put a stop to the illegal runs. Nowadays, there are severe penalties, more technology, and possible jail time for the same high speed antics that went down on the Cannonball Run.

If you really want to do something like that, go for it, but expect to be flamed if you get a ticket or jail time.

That's what Im watching right now ! IT IS awesome !!

At one moment, in europe( i dont remember which country exactly ), they pass cops at 120mph, and the cops try to chase them but the guy in the CLS55 hit the gas and he is doing like 160 and lose the cops.

Its amazing im gonna watch the rest now

There is also advd called Gumball 3000 "6 Days In May"that can be found on Ebay and the Teckademics dvds also on Ebay or you can go Best Buy, Circuit City and they have either the single volumes or the boxset volumes 1-4.

Most "Gumballs" these days are held in Europe in fact Dustin recently got back from one he whent on. He is also getting ready to release a new video. There are several small but fun rallys in the US and occasionally a Gumball. The one that seems most popular for the average person is tHE AKA Rally which is fun. Chris is really good about setting up a great time and has 2007's already planned out and is taking deposits on the 40 open spots.

Teckademics is not just about rallys by far, in fact Dado now uses his M3 for legal racing.

Here are some teaser pics from the last one they whent on:

If you are in the MD DC VA area you should come out to the large meet everyone set up tonight. its in Columbia MD, I have a thread for it in the North East Regional section. Dustin may be coming, he said he has no idea what it is doing, Daniel Dado and a few other I am not sure about since I had not spolen to them about it.

If anyone needs the videos and cannot find them online let me know and I will see about getting them for you, and shipping them to you direct.

Dustin's new video should be out in short time. so keep an eye out.

BTW keep in mind Dado has been arrested before on a rally (don't remeber which one) and even if you get no tickets Gumball rallys are not cheap to enter gerally looking at 10s of thousands of dollars. AKA is like 3200. Here is a link to the AKA rally site: http://www.akarally.com/ I may be going on this one, it has not yet been determined yet, I need to make sure a few other things are going to happen first. If I do go it would be awesome to not be the only mustang there ;P *hint*hint*....

This years AKA is going from Salt Lake City to Atlantic City

Thank you for the info !! I'd do the AKA rally maybe sounds interesting and a lot cheaper than gumball !!
