Hey, guys, just wanna see if any DTMers are participating in the Gumball this year. I believe it starts on April 12th. Dado? Dustin? Will you enlighten us again this year? lol

Anybody going?

Dado and Dustin did the Player's Run this year, which was better than Gumball, according to them. They're not planning on doing Gumball, as far as I know.

so what exactly are the requirements to do gumball?

As far as I can tell:

1 - Driver
1 - Co Driver (Playboy Bunny a plus)
1 - ass load of money for booze and Gas
1 - ass load of money for admission.

Basically, if you want to see the price tag, you don't have enough money.

yeah see i just wanted to know how much it was for admission and shit. The gas and ticket money i'm not worried about yet. I will save up as much as it is but i wanna be in it so bad. Just to roll with all those cars...mmmm...

it will cost you WAY more than the entrance fee.. trust me.
don't underestimate the fines you will get. it ain't cheap getting out of jail. you also have to add the shipping costs.. from ny to sf and then miami to ny.. figure $3000. i had to get my car repainted after players run plus i have to fix, maybe replace my cracked windshield. in the end, i spent around $7000 over the entrance fee.

He put enough miles on the car durring the actual event, I don't think anyone wants to drive it an additional couple thousand miles from home to the starting point, and back from the finish point.

I wouldn't either

, I'd save my driving energy for the start of the run.

gotcha, nah i'd drive back

its about 12000 for entrance and that include hotel rooms across the run for you and a passanger an additional person in your car is 2000 more per person
