Thread: Gumball 2008

Here are the cities lined up for this years Gumball

San Francisco ? Los Angeles ? San Diego ? Las Vegas ? Pyongyang (North Korea) ? Shanghai ? Beijing (Olympics)

I like to watch it, if I had money coming out my wahzoo I'd join it!

We'll see if it happens, August is a long way off!

You know Gumball suffered a serious blow after the tragedy in 2007. They obviously can't do it in Europe anymore, and a lot of the sponsors are no longer interested in being part of such a racing series.

In fact, I wouldn't really consider it a rally to begin with

No, it's just a bunch of rich people showing off how much money they have, but I enjoy seeing the cars!

Somebody needs to fill me in here What's the tragedy of 2007?? Better yet, just fill me in on what the thing is.. I haven't heard the term 'Gumball Rally' since I was just a kid

It's basically a street race isn't it?? Not sanctioned by anyone? Cannonball Run stylie??

What an asinine event! It was cancelled about 8 years too late if you ask me. It obviously got away from it's intended purpose. The actions of the two drivers who killed those people are despicable!

I'm not some crotchety old fart pounding his fists here (well that's for you to decide), but to put the safety of the unsuspecting public at risk like this is utterly stupid. HELLOOOO!!! That's why we have RACE TRACKS!!!!
