I was watching techtv and they had a little segment of this years gumball rally 3000 which ended last week. It was a race from san fran to miami. They had celebrities this year. The only one I recall is Tony Hawk. The entrance fee is close to $10,000 so I would expect alot of rich and famous. Last year teckademics produced a video for the 2002 gumball rally and did a great job. Does anyone know of any companies that are producing a compilation of this years gumball 3000?

quote from a san francisco newspaper:"Several drivers were arrested, others were cited, and many exotic vehicles were impounded after the California Highway Patrol received dozens of calls of reckless driving from San Francisco, Alameda, Marin and Solano counties. "ahahah i live in alameda county btw :)

I wrote an email to teckademics. It turns out they won't be making a video of this years gumball. However go to dtmpower.net and sign up for a forum account, they have a couple of homemade videos of this years gumball rally there.

The only Gumball 3000 video I've seen is the one off Jackass, where they drove through Europe. Looks like some tight **** though... driving on the autobaughn and all... lol

Me and a friend chased a few of them down on the turnpike about 30 min north of miami...one of them was a WRX entered by Vivid (the p0rn company). They had a long, crappy drive from New Orleans, though, and didn't want to show off :(
