An Idea

Each year, we travel from Toronto to Orlando to go to surf expo. I was thinking that for 2006, we make it a contest.

Based on Cannon-Ball/Gumball runs http://www.gumball3000.com/content/html/launch.htm?# http://www.actrandom.com/ you get a bunch of teams together with predefined stops and give prize money for the team who can get to Orlando first after making all the assigned stops. Of course one stop will require the team to put in a wakeskate session in either: North Carolina, South Carolina or Georgia.

I know that some of the oak guys made it to surf expo this year in a grease powered van. We could set it up so that whether you drove a Volvo, Audi, or grease car, speed would only be one factor required to win.

Based on the level of interested and teams who sign up, I will either scrap this idea or roll with it. Regardless, I think it would be a fun time……..

Let me know……..

The route can be changed as much as possible. We would need to have a bunch of check-points where teams are required to get photographic proff of different tasks, and you would also need places where people can get pulls in.....

you would need a passport, a digital camera, your decks and a good automobile. At the end, you have a party in Orlando and each team shows photos of the different stops. Winning team gets prize $$, and is crowned fastest team in the Wake World......

I don't want to have to go through saskatchewan and manitoba. Those places are fiznackling shitholes.

The route seems to start right by my house though, so yeah... I guess I'd just have to do this
