Late Summer Road Rally

[raveadelic]

So I woke up this morning feeling a little ambitious. I decided that I wanted to try to organize a road rally in the late summer months that goes for about 5 days and 2300 miles. Since I cannot afford to do the big road rally's so I'm going to do my own! I have some places in mind and kind of mapped out the route this morning and that is where i was getting the days and mileage from. The route is as follows (mileage and time are according to Google maps):

Day 1: Denver to Jackson's Hole, 525 miles ~ 8hrs.
-Stay the night somewhere in Jackson's hole, possibly all get dinner together when all the cars get there (and I'm sure partying soon after).
Day 2: Jackson's Hole to Salt Lake City, 305 miles ~ 5hrs.
-Stay in Salt Lake for the night.... Of course more partying.
Day 3: Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, 420 miles ~ 6hrs.
-Craziness will soon ensue upon arrival.
-I'm thinking because of the nature of Vegas that we might not want to drive the next leg of the rally until the next day.
Day 4 Possibly 5: Vegas to Santa Fe, 630 miles ~ 9hrs.
-Definitely recover from Vegas with a chill night in Santa Fe.
Day 5/6: Santa Fe to Denver, 400 miles ~ 6hrs
-Return to Denver and stay at a hotel downtown with a big end of rally party.

Total Trip ~2300 miles in 5 or 6 days!!!
I was thinking that we could try to get some sponsors of the rally so that we can get some prizes for the shortest distance traveled and other categories. I figured that it would cost about $600- $700 for the hotels along the way per team (car). Gas and food, entertainment, maintenance and everything else would be up to the individual drivers or teams.

So that is the tentative deal for everything, please post up if you guys are SERIOUSLY INTERESTED! Just thought I would post this feeler to see how many people would like to do it, I am going to do it regardless, if I'm the only one thats cool too.

Most likely I'm thinking that maybe August so that we can have time to try to get sponsors and deals on hotels, etc.

Post up and let me know!

Peace, Joel.

I would be interested.....

[raveadelic]

afternoon bump, no one else?

[Haelo]

Yeah if I have the money at the time and my car is in good shape I'll be up for it.

[rwmorrisonjr]

Might be cool if I have the cash and the time off from work.

[e36mpwr]

I'm definitely down and have a friend with a supra that might also be interested! Awesome idea!!!

When were you thinking about doing it?!? Unfortunately, I am doing so summer school classes so June and July are basically out of the question for me.

[raveadelic]

im thinking sometime in august, but i have to talk to a few places about sponsorship and talk to some hotels about specials depending on how many people we get. IF YOU GUYS WANT TO POST THIS IN OTHER FORUMS TOO, GO AHEAD. i dont belong to any other ones so getting the word out there is awesome. If we got like 40-50 cars to go, this would be amazing!

Hell yeah, that would be so awesome to get a ton of cars to join us on our travels! Early or the middle of august would work great for me! I'm not sure when classes start but I want to say around the 16th. Man I can't wait!!!

[e36mpwr]

I was just reading in the forced induction thread that Mfest2 will be taking place in las vegas on august 29-30! It'd be kinda cool to stop by that and meet some ppl and see some cars from the forums! just saying, plus if we have to miss a few days of class so be it!

[raveadelic]

definitely, that would be pretty sweet. im going to talk to some places about sponsorship next week and we can see what (if anything) we can get in the way of prizes or something for the event.

[e36mpwr]

I told some of my supra buddies about it, but I could post a link on highaltitudeimports.com

They are a bunch of ricers, but they have some nice ass cars

[Bimmerbasher]

Assuming I get the work done i need to do to the car in the next couple months, I would definately be interested...

[raveadelic]

Cool The More Cars The Better! JUST REFERENCE BACK THIS FORUM SO I CAN KEEP ADDING TO THE LIST

[raveadelic]

[e36mpwr]

so far not a lot of interest, but it is still early! We should have decals made to make this more "offical" like the gumball/players run, etc...

[raveadelic]

I can't even begin to tell you how exciting this sounds!!! I'm already recruiting a friend to go with me. I don't care if it is 6 of us going out to do this - it would be a total kick in the a$$!!!! I don't care where/when I will be there!
