*** Car Rally 2008 ***

I wanted to share some info with you guys on a fun project that I've been working on.. We've been working diligently to organize a really fun car rally...

I got involved with the primary organizer (who is a good friend of mine) a few months ago and it looks like we are set to go for March 30, 2008. There are alot of really interesting people involved in this particular event and it will prove to be a BLAST! No expense has been spared in the organizing of this event..

It is called the 2008 Casino Run and will start in New Orleans and run to Las Vegas. A large portion of the proceeds will be donated to various charities (more info to follow).

The participating teams will be competing for a Grand Prize of $50,000 in casino chips.

The event will be hosted by: Alejandra Guiterrez.. She is a former Playboy Playmate of the year.. In addition to Alejandra, you can expect to also see the Hawaiian Tropic Girls. That's just a small taste of what to expect.. Lots of celebs and a surprise rock band will be making a special appearance to do a show at one of the cities.

Harrah's New Orleans Casino and Red Rock Las Vegas are both major sponsors of the event.

We are planning to have the entire event video taped and it will be turned into 6, one-hour episodes for a reality TV Show. One of the organizers is involved in the movie industry so that is where that connection comes from.

If you want more information on the event, you can visit our website: http://www.charitycarrallyz.com

You can download the Driver's Information Pack here: Driver Information Pack

Each participant will draw a card from a deck and that will be their identifying mark on their car..

Here is the list of the paid entrants and their cars:

Team 1) Dean A., Naples, Florida, 2007 Mercedes S63
Team 2) Alan P., Miami, Florida, 2007 AUDI R8
Team 3) Saleem H., Toronto, Ontario, 2003 CL600
Team 4) Cameron K., Florida, 2007 Z06
Team 5) Rob C., Alberta, Canada, 2006 911 C4S
Team 6) Scott C., Florida, 2006 Dodge Viper
Team 7) John H., Seattle, Washington, 2004 Lamborghini Murcielago
Team 8) Tony P., Scottsdale, Arizona, 2006 SLR or Lambo
Team 9) Danny A., Ajax, Ontario, 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo
Team10) Aram, Richmond Hill, Ontario, 2007 SLR722
Team11) Jiray, Sweden, Lamborghini Gallardo
Team12) Cale, Burlington, Ontario, 2005 Z06
Team13) Mike J., Atlanta, Georgia, 2006 Cadillac CTV-S

The entrance fee is $12,800 per car (2 people per car)..

The rally is a 5 day affair so this covers EVERYTHING for those 5 days EXCEPT alcohol.. For each stop, we've pre-booked all the rooms in a 5-star hotel.

Any body looking for a non paying co pilot.
I'm good to great company! At least that is what all my friends say as they are running away! LOL

It sure sounds great, but all of my cars are as old as your kids kids~!

52 cards in a deck means maximum 52 cars...

You think I need the Cams to compete? I'd have the HD cam on for sure. It would be great to squeeze some Juice outta that boy!!
