The American Gumball Rally is staging a comeback!



It started off as an annual Woodward Dream Cruise party and has grown into a statewide event that travels over 1000 miles of Michigan every year in August. In his first press interview, Randy Kohler, the founder of the National Gumball Rally said "Anyone can sign up for this fun road-trip especially if you're a fan of Detroit or an automobile enthusiast "​ Randy has also taken this idea of a weekend road-trip and applied it to other states as well. "Instead of driving all the way across the country, let's set up weekend road rally's in each and every state. From the beginning our intentions were to do something different and build this company to a national level of recognition."

The Michigan Gumball Rally was the very first rally started in 2010 when entrepreneur (Randy Kohler) noticed an opportunity. Behind every fun event is a driven force of advertising that many people do not notice. The National Gumball Rally claims they can generate hundreds of millions of impressions per year for advertising sponsors through outdoor vehicle advertising, social media strategy and event planning. In 2009 Randy, 27, first came up with the idea during a road trip and decided to bring the idea to reality after Nelson House, the original founder of The Woodward Dream Cruise died of cancer in 2010. "Someone needed to step up to the plate and lead by example. I set out to organize fun, positive events that anyone can participate in. The Woodward Dream Cruise is the largest one day auto event in the whole world, with an annual attendance of over two million people, and it started as a small fundraiser to earn money for a children's charity."

Bethany Hamilton and teammate place 8th in Morocco's Gazelle Rally


found in Automobile Magazine, July issue... what an amazing news story to have in a car magazine! No one else has this story but Automobile Magazine is my guess!

Bethany will be on one of five US teams participating in the 2013 Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles. The well-known international competition, celebrating its 23rd year, will take place in France and Morocco from March 16th – March 31st. The off-road rally raid is unique in format – nine days of off-road driving competition using traditional dead reckoning navigation, outdated maps, no GPS or outside assistance while on course. It is considered one of the toughest all-female sporting events on the planet.
Bethany’s teammate, X-Games gold medalist navigator Chrissie Beavisis an architect by trade, but has top-notch skills in rally racing. She is also a driving instructor, rally racer and her capabilities as a mechanic and ace fabricator have led to appearances in popular TV shows such as “Monster Garage” as well as commentator roles for ESPN.

Any wonder I'm a fan and subscriber?

With its unique concept involving eco-driving without excess speed, based on traditional navigation without GPS and for women only, the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc was the precursor to a new vision for auto rallies.

In our constant quest for quality, the environment has always been one of our main areas of focus. In 2010, the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc became the first auto rally in the world to obtain international environmental certification (ISO 14001:2004).

Yup, I just checked Google news, and not a word about it.

However,... very cool news for women, Bethany is a spokeman for Proctor and Gamble's Tampax business, and is hosting a contest for young women:

Tampax and pro-surfer Bethany Hamilton are joining forces to shine a spotlight on awesomely active girls - those who have the confidence to get off the sideline and into the game. The Awesomely Active Girls Challenge is designed to celebrate and reward girls who share pictures of moments when they have been awesomely active. In addition to being featured on the Tampax Facebook page, girls have the opportunity to win a great prize, which includes a chance for their photo to appear in Tampax Pearl Active advertising.

For one month, from June 21 until July 21, girls can enter the Awesomely Active Girls Challenge by submitting a photo of them taking on their favorite activity with 140 character caption on Facebook.com/Tampax. Beginning July 29 and through October 6 the community can place votes for their favorite moment. Each week, a winner will be selected and highlighted as the "Awesomely Active Girl of the Week," not only receiving the spotlight but also $500

The Global Rallycross championship finals at Las Vegas during SEMA at the LV Conv Ctr gold parking lot












 About 15 ft high at the top of the ramps, and about 35 feet wide is my guess.















The above right Subaru, has a clever toothy front... I like it.


They weren't shy about hitting each other and shoving to get better lane advantage









 the glowing red headlights were damn cool looking.  It doesn't look like any of the other racecars have any lights on
