Last night I got an email through my YouTube account asking permission to embed the videos. Turns out it's a guy who writes a blog about Long Beach
and wants to do a post on our buggying!
Good stuff Mike! Positive stories like this are great to see!cheezycheese - 6-12-2011 at 10:25 AM
Great stuff Mike !!! He can use Matt's vid too if you like...MikeDobbs - 6-12-2011 at 10:37 AM
Thanks Rich!
Thanks Cheezy- I'll send him the link. Kober - 6-12-2011 at 10:39 AM
Congrats Mike .......bobalooie57 - 6-12-2011 at 10:54 AM
Nice, it could turn into an event draw. If Anthony gave a little advance on your next gathering, you might get some interested spectators. Then, who
knows? Maybe races at Longbeach! :bigok:martinipro - 6-12-2011 at 10:56 AM
That is awesome!
Problem is there is not much hard packed for a "big" event =/MikeDobbs - 6-12-2011 at 11:22 AM
Thanks everyone. Yeah Bob, I'm intruiged by the potential this may have to reach out to people in the community who may be interested in learning
more about what we do. Everytime we head out there we get several people stopping by to ask questions- it's so funny, the first thing they always ask
is "What do you call this?"
Unfortunately, the beach isn't that wide- but I think we could arrange for some good courses if we don't run too many at a time. Who knows- maybe
short course time trials or staggered starts Cannonball Run style! :wee:rocfighter - 6-12-2011 at 06:12 PM

I'm still not getting it- a little help?bobalooie57 - 7-12-2011 at 10:28 PM
Google Gum Ball Rally, I think it's what the Cannonball Run is based on.pyro22487 - 8-12-2011 at 03:33 AM
Thanks for the google hint. Im a bit young for that movie (24:frog: ) I only saw cannonball 2 and that was because it was on netflix streaming.MikeDobbs - 8-12-2011 at 08:09 AM
Thanks for the assist bobalooie57. Never heard of that movie (or race) before.
As it turns out, the Cannonball was the original actual race- then came "The Gumball Rally" (the movie), followed by Cannonball Run (the movie- which
was based on the 1979 running of the Cannonball race). Finally, in 1999 Gumball became a real race named the "Gumball 3000"
For any of you young guns on here that haven't seen Cannonball Run I highly recommend you get a hold of it. Classic movie!
While you're at it, pick up Smokey and the Bandit (Original only, no need to waste time with the sequels).cheezycheese - 8-12-2011 at 08:18 AM
The opening with those chicks in the Lamborghini was all I could dream about when I was 12...MikeDobbs - 8-12-2011 at 08:24 AM

Interview with the Cannonball Run director here:
It was interesting because he actually made the run.
