Gumball 3000 > GumBall Meetup

Maximillion Cooper, the founder of Gumball 3000 briefed the drivers and their entourages at the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill.  Cooper stressed that Gumball--which is in its 10th year is "NOT a race----it's a road rally".   I don't think the drivers bought it.  The 8 day rally includes stops in SF, LA, SD, Vegas, North Korea, Shanghai and finishes outside the Olympic Stadium in Beijing.  The entry fee is about $120K---plus expenses.  Lets rally.
