For the Hoff?? Oh girl!!!
There was a movie called Gumball Rally in the 70s - I am thinking the name came from that, but this is the Gumball 3000. They do it because they can baby!! |

I'm a need John, JD, Alfonso,Tyson, and Rob to not go kill themselves this upcoming week. O.k. Pete too since he has a child on the way. lol That is a
pretty cool list of people. I think Jen has locked John away, he has been M.I.A. since Texas right? I am not used to there not being daily pics of him.

Do they not stop in places? This is an event at Qualcomm Stadium and I was under the impression they'd be parking for a while.

And i don't like the word "race." They are just driving city to city, not like they are on a NASCAR track.
