Don't forget a spare CPS.

Did the math on this yesterday...it tops out just over $38,000 for a full price entry...

Granted that covers a ridiculous amount of fun...but not for a Gumball that is US only. I would have loved to have done the one they did a couple years ago all through europe AND US.

Why, I bet them old boys never thought about that. I'm sure CHP will now be rendered totally ineffective...........HAR HAR.......BTW, when the speed reaches the "Reckless Driving" range, ya better count on the tow truck charges in addition to the ticket........Been there, done that.......again.

I had one grab me in SWFL with a valentine1 in the car - never made a peep...

Glad I wasn't the one that had to make that point..

Bet we could all get invited by filling out the app! Not too many folks going to turn down your 40 grand entry fee.. LOL.
