For those of you that remember the Gumball 3000, and live in the south, I wanted to remind you that it's going from SanFrancisco to Miami this year. It's scheduled to run from the 17th to the 22nd, and they'll be stopping in Las Vegas, Tuscon, San Antonio, New Orleans, and ending in Miami Tuesday evening. (April 22nd) Me and one of my friends might try to catch them as they pass through Louisiana and follow them to New Orleans. I can't wait to see all the tight cars!!! Here's a little something I got from the Gumball 3000 site to give you an idea of when and where they'll be stopping....
Want to know where we are going and when?
If you want to check out the cars and stars on this years’ Gumball 3000, this is where we’ll be going. We won’t give you exact details or checkpoints/events on route, not even the Gumballers get those before the day, but you can probably figure out some of the main routes we’ll be on and when. See you on the highway.
Wednesday April 16th
Gumball 3000 registration – from midday onwards, all the Gumballers will assemble at the Fairmont Hotel, Atop *** Hill, San Francisco. This is when the cars get transformed from their civilian paint jobs, into their Gumball clothes.
Thursday April 17th
The best day to come as see the Gumballers and their flying machines, as the fully dressed Gumball cars and hopefully fully dressed Gumball stars prepare for a parade lap around San Francisco, under the watchful eye of Mayor ***** Brown at 7pm. Around 9pm the event officially begins.
Friday April 18th
Las Vegas, we’ll be in Vegas from late morning onwards. Motocross superstar Cary Hart will be on hand to entertain and amaze the Gumballers. We’ll be settling in for the day, building up to a concert, with very special guests, followed by a typically Gumball party!
Saturday April 19th
After leaving Vegas early, our ultimate destination for the day is Tuscon in the evening.
Sunday April 20th
After an earlier start leaving Tuscon, we’ll be arriving in San Antonio for the festival that night.
Monday April 21st
Today’s destination is New Orleans
Tuesday April 22nd
In the evening we will reach our ultimate destination – Miami. The end party extravaganza will go on all night as we reach the official end of the 2003 Gumball 3000 Rally.
Wednesday 23rd
Post event wind-down, but we’ll all still be in town if you want to come and check out the wear and tear on the cars and the stars after one of the most event-filled weeks and 3000 miles of their lives.
