OT: Cannonball Run?

Some of you know that I will be attending AuzRun in August this year - supposedly the only prestige lifestyle rally in Australia, but I just stumbled on this:

http://www.cannonballworld.com/event...-the-rat-race/

The cannonball run is coming to Australia!

At first glance, the main differences between the two events (Cannonball vs AuzRun) are:
  • Prize Money vs Charity
  • Special Event (eg: 1 off here) vs Annual Event
  • Competitive vs Non-Competitive
  • Clues/Sleuthing vs Just plain have fun...
I reckon a fully modded 135i or 1M would be good choice of car for this sort of rally.

Now, if I find a partner to split the $10k entry fee with me..

dont tempt me.. however i think i would prefer to do one overseas as the penalties for having fun here are way too high

I know a few people that went on the last Auzrun. They loved it. Ross (the owner of Auzrun) and Ellie (his partner) are awesome people

Oh, different type of cannonball - I should read the links first.

I remember that race- in the early 90s out on the Stuart Highway? A couple of Japanese entrants driving an F40 who misinterpreted a checkpoint/brakepoint and crashed into officials.

I couldn't even drive back then! LOL- still in high school.

More importantly, perhaps were the deaths. Perhaps not so LOL.
