PM me if interested.
THANK YOU!

Very cool. Too bad I can't do this.

Off topic, how much did it cost to add the fuel cell setup?

[DrakeKemper]

ATL Racing Fuel Cell, 22 Gallons.
Has a pump that refills tank with the flip of a switch.
Got sponsored for the cell itself, which is normally a $650 or so charge. Being installed in 2 weeks, probably about $1300 for all pieces and installation.

Dude..... that sounds fucking fabulous. I am from Nevada and am a HUGE fan of all the Rallys.... especially the Silver State Challenge. I wish I could Pony up the dough as this sounds like a BLAST. Good Luck to whomever gets that seat.

[Crazy Bimmer]

So someone pays 5k to drive your car with 2 other people in it?

April fools?

i think the actually price is pretty high, so this sounds pretty correct

[mdosu]

looks like fun. If money wasn't an issue, I'd do it. But then again, if money wasn't an issue, I would be driving my own Ferrari in the event.

BTW, where did you buy the vinyl wrap for your car? where was it installed?

[donovan]

This is amazing, so america does have something I'm interested in after beign away for 6 years.

[DrakeKemper]

A few things.

1. No, this was not an April Fools posting. The rally costs $20,000 per team. Thats $10,000 a person. Split into 3 is $6,700 each. I'm only asking $5,000.

2. This is not a $5,000 "Backseat Ride-a-long", the member chosen will get seat time just like everyone else. About 2-3 hours of driving per person, per day if wanted.

3. We don't stay at the Holiday Inn, we stay in "W" 's, "Four Season" 's, "Hilton" 's, in VERY NICE rooms. It'd cost you over $5k just to make the reservations at the stops.

4. The parties are at RENTED OUT clubs, not just joining a club with 1,000 other people.

5. It includes track days and other events along the rally.

6. The backseat in the E92 is surprisingly roomy, I would recommend sitting in one at your local dealership, it'll surprise you, 2-3 hours back there won't kill anybody.

7. The show "Cops, Cars, and Superstars" will be filming us, which airs in 96 countries per year currently. "Super Speeders 6" will also be filming on the rally.

8. I don't need any posers talking down on the rally, that just wastes both of our time. This rally is competitive, fast, exciting, luxurious, and you'll be on the edge of your seat (literally) the whole time. If you've never done the BullRun, you DON'T know what it is like, no matter how much you think you do. This is the Gumball3000 for the U.S. with twice as many parties, and half of the jackasses that don't know how to drive.

9. ALL MEALS, Drinks, Hotel Rooms, Parties, All Events, etc. are covered (basically everything besides your tickets).

With all of that being said, Thank You to whoever wants it.

Everyone wants to pay 5,000 bucks to spend a week driving around with a couple of 19 year olds. Sounds like a blast.

[12:03]

so if they are charging you 20k for two people, you can bring a third person yourself and not pass the 5k along to the event promoters? That doesnt sound right because you now have an extra accommodation, mouth to feed, liver to kill with booze, et cetera.

[donovan]

Disregard the haters/ignorant individuals. If I had the extra cash I would be all over this Drake. I enjoy off the wall/all out fun drives and if all that is included I think its a decent price. If I was making 1/3 more than what I'm now I would of considered it.

Ciao ciao bro

Sounds like fun, but too many days for me . Hope nobody drinks and drives on the other cars, especially at the high speeds involved.

One comment and a question. The V1 does NOT like to operate with other radar detectors (loses range), so I'd just take the V1 and the scanner.

The question (out of curiosity) is how many hours a day, and what hours of the day is the driving involved? Man, a trip like that can't be good for you license .

Two 19 year olds that would make you look like you drove like a Grandma in a Prius. Put your money where your mouth is if you want to trash talk.

We've ran the dual set-up of V1 and Redline quite a bit and we haven't had a problem yet. We may set the V1 towards the rear window.

Usually wheels up at 8AM til about 4ish. Including events and lunch.

Haha its horrible for my license.

[Nexlevmm]

Kudos dude, been wanting to do this for years, if i had the cash i'd definitely go with. But kill it for all the M's in the world!

[Erhan]

Sounds illegal to me. I can think better ways of spending 20k$.. To each his own.

[Poppin Fresh]

This sounds like one hell of a vacation if I had the cash. Good luck to whomever gets this seat.

[Jewish Elmo from Brooklyn]

does the $5000 fee come with an autographed photo of Micheal Bolten?

[BPMSport]

Sounds like a really cool opportunity!!... too bad I have to work

Good luck.

[donovan]

Mike, its time to take a break... pick me up and lets do this mate.

[///My5UV]

If you pay me $5K I'll do it :-)

I don't know what a "2 class license" is, but I have a SCCA National club race license and have done a couple SCCA Pro races.
