Got this email from UMarky about the Ultimate Rally complete with web site. Looks like it's from coast to coast like the Gumball movie. $30K entrance fee (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
It appears that Kimbal is instigating??? Who is Kimbal?

Most all'a yous that have been on the Bird Board have received this, eh? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)

Kimball was a computer hacker in the 90s, spent a bit of time in jail, I think. When he got out he started a computer security company, or some such, and is supposed to be very wealthy now. He won the Gumball rally a couple of times. Now he's putting on the Ultimate rally. Sounds a little shakey to me too, but he's already got a few people signed up. If you look at the forums on the UR website, there is a guy that has a 800hp 993TT and a Dauer 962.

I imagine the he hacked Pelican and sent out a mass email and PM, or something. He apparently hacked Google as well. For a few days, whenever you would type in anything about racing, the Ultimate Rally would come up.

Sounds like it might be fun, but a little rich for my blood.
