Long Beach Buggy Crew gets noticed!
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!
Little bit of positive press for our sport:

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:

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:

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).
