GUMBALL 3000 COMING TO SPEED VENTURES

"Speed Ventures participants and spectators shall suffer (in a good way) the slings and arrows of other people's outrageous good fortune on August 9th at Buttonwillow Raceway Park as we play host to the first high-speed rallye (that's the British way of spelling it) checkpointe (that's the French way) of the celebrity and billionaire-studded extravaganza known as Gumball 3000. In a nutshell, Gumball 3000 provides an unprecedented opportunity for high net-worth individuals to galivant across the globe in pimped out supercars at whatever speed the local authorities will allow by day, and to party like rockstars (well, some of them ARE rockstars actually) at night. Because local authorities can be somewhat reluctant to let people drive 200mph, Gumball 3000 organizers have decided to schedule a couple pit stops at two of the world's premier racetracks (the Chinese Formula 1 circuit (a fantastic F1 track) and Buttonwillow Raceway Park (an equally fantastic and increasingly famous club racing track). After visiting Speed Ventures at Buttonwillow Raceway and eating 350 hotdogs, the caravan of 100+ participants and 250 TV/media and crew will make it's way to Los Angeles where they will go to the kind of parties Aaron Bitterman doesn't get invited to. From there they will go straight to Las Vegas just to make sure they've covered all their bases and aren't unwisely assuming Hollywood has the most to offer in the way of extravagance and debauchery. Next they'll make the obvious move of loading all 100 supercars on to air transport straight for Pyongyang, North Korea (yes, North) because they couldn't think of a better way to show all of us just how truly rich and crazy they really are.

My hope is that all of you will tell all your friends and come out to Buttonwillow on August 9th to witness Gumball 3000 in all it's glory, watch the fantastic collection of vehicles on track, and see celebrities and other high net-worth individuals eat hot dogs. Of course you're welcome to sign up to drive with us as well. Gumball 3000 activities will not affect the track time of our regularly scheduled event. Admission to the Park, as always, will be $10 for spectators. We expect Gumball drivers to begin arriving around 5pm, at which point the entrance gate will be jammed up with cars, so PLEASE ARRIVE BY 4:30pm if you are planning to come out and watch!"

If we could get a few VIPs to represent that would be pretty sick. So if anyone wants to role up together just let me know.
