Does anyone know how to enter the cannonball run Gumball 3000. Me and my cousin want to show those richies that their exotics arn't all that.

i think you have to pay your way in, or you could try to get a sponsor and they could pay your way in but then you'd have to put stickers all over your car, but wouldn't mind being sponsored by playboy of course

You pay, if I remember correctly. Entrance fee is upwards of $10k too, I believe.

lol, right after i made the last post i checked my email and found this, dunno if it helps, and this year it will be in europe but the next one i think is in the US so might have to wait, or if it doesn't work to buy your way into it or wutever, you could buy a ticket on ebay, the past couple oif years they've done that for charity or something but i think they sell for a couple thousand, but i get a newsletter every whenever so here it is.....

Welcome back Gumball fans,

There are only 42 days to go until the chequered flag drops for the sixth annual
‘Gumball 3000 Rally’, so if you want to come to
the start line and cheer off your favourite Gumballers in their amazing cars,
now is the time to start making plans. The flag will
drop in Paris on Wednesday May 5th, where 165 amazing cars, stars and eccentrics
will embark on a 6-day ‘no holds barred’
experience, driving 3000 miles of a magical mystery tour.

'Supermodels, sporting heroes and Hollywood stars are on the grid for the most
glamorous car rally on the calendar'. The Times

With entrants including everyone from the legendary Burt Reynolds himself in a
70s Pontiac Trans Am (every Gumballers
hero!), to the Jackass and Viva La Bam motley crew in whatever cars they can
rustle up, and current music god ‘Pharrell
Williams’ putting his McLaren through its paces, its safe to say that this years
Gumball will cause a stir.

If you watched Johnny Knoxville and the rest of MTV’s Jackass’ crew when they
took part from London to Russia and back,
you have been warned. And if you didn’t, I suggest you prepare yourselves, as in
2004 they are back for more, and this time
they’re serious!

Being filmed once again for the ultimate reality ‘road trip’ movie, directed by
3 of the worlds most renowned directors, you will
be able to witness these ‘6 days of madness’ when it hits cinema screens around
the world later this year!

So, will Burt still be on the pace? Is Ryan Dunn the new Dom DeLouise? Will
Pharrell’s McLaren lead the pack or break down
on the Paris ring road? Will Jodie Kidd get lost in the desert? And will Johnny
Knoxville and Bam play any pranks to disrupt
Schuey’s concentration at the Spanish GP?

Only time will tell, so stay tuned to find out the breaking news and updates of
the cars and stars….. in this years ‘Gumball 3000’
Rally!

Gumball 3000 'The Movie' of the 2003 rally will be released on DVD in Europe and
the USA in the early Summer, however its
NOW available in the UK, so if you haven't already got a copy, what are you
waiting for!!! Its available at all good stores and of
course online via the Gumball website.

Finally, check out the new 'Gallery' of cool Gumball photos on the website!

Stay tuned....

it's a pricey piece...
ryan dunn (from jackass/viva la bam, and a good friend of mine) should be taking his 600hp bmw 318ti... but that's still in the works...

[ac427cpe]

y not just try for the player's run?

for that you click on the link at the top of this page.

[gigglesnirt]

ya the players run is cheaper right? and you wont have to wait as long it starts up pretty soon right?.....or maybe it passed already..........

[flylwsi]

player's run is still not cheap...
look at the cars involved...
it's still going to be a few thousand, i'm sure...

www.lollipoprallyusa.com is another version...
smaller, shorter...
300 bucks to get in...

[gigglesnirt]

ya i guess that makes sense

[Mediocrity]

I think the Gumball is more of something for people who have the money to pay off the inevitable damage that's going to happen to their car while paying to get in.

It's just something for rich people to blow their money on... your car's performance means less and less when you're going across the united states to certain places just to have another party.

Players Run is $12k for one car and two drivers. Additional drivers are $4200 apiece. So yea, not cheap.

[Jm93]
