Damn, if I were the type who didn't worry about going to jail, I'd love to do it.

I'd also want to drive a black EK sedan w/ built B18C5, built suspension, CF hood, trunk and fenders (painted trunk and fenders), SW388's, LS 5th gear, larger fuel capacity, upgraded seats, full Mugen TL catback, GPS and whatever else strikes my fancy.

Or I could just run my Si.

Anyone else???

Add the full itr susp 5 lug with abs and a 100 shot, and it would be untouchable.

Saw some coverage last year of the guys from Jackass joining. The actual rally was pretty sweet though.

I actually got the info on joining.... $3000 entrance fee, and they will only let 100 cars enter. They are looking for unique cars, so a civ. hatch would be a good choice. Most are looking towards exotics, so something like a civic would be cool, but entrance times are already past, so....oh well!

Do the people in the race speed a lot?? I know the site says that speeding isn't recommended, but that is just to cover their asses.

Yea they do, you ever been to kimble.org the rich programmer, he wreaked his like 600,000 AMG 50 and walked away with a smile on his face, then they show somone getting pulled over for doing 113mph over the posted limit so i hope that answers your question

I thought the Gumball episode of Jackass rocked. That's what made me daydream about what car I'd want to run it in. That was some hardcore ****. Must be nice to be that disgustingly wealthy.

I'll be curious to see what happens w/ this race combines w/ US cops.
