I’ve done seven 1 day ones. A modified TSD rally with few real rules. If you Google “Gumball 330 Akron” you’ll see various years it was held last decade. There were also a “Nightball Rally” and some winter ones. We finished 1st in a winter one. It was a blast. One winter one had over 6" of snow on the un-plowed roads.

Thanks. Getting excited. We tried to do this last year but it sold out. Akron isn’t that far from me do they still do the 330 gumball anymore? Last one I could find was 09.

They didn’t time it well with bridge construction. Half the span of the river is currently covered in tarps.

Pretty certain that may have been the last. The guys running the events had too many other commitments to keep them going. The events spawned from what were called Superfly Sundays at the Spaghetti Warehouse. They still have the Superflys but they are now Saturday evening GTGs at a parking deck with security. Looks like something now out of F&F Tokyo Drift with all the cars in a parking deck and on its roof.

Well the plan was to finally get a suspension kit and gear on my wife’s 06 GT and take that but we used my car budget on a 3 week vacation in Europe. So stock 06 gt mustang or Fost? Fost wins.

Yea I know first world problem.

Black paint with magnetic stickers.... You are braver than I.

They’re actually real stickers. Which doesn’t make me feel better. Another reason I didn’t take the Boss.

Ohh, the top one looked like it had some depth to it so I thought it was magnetic.

I didn’t know gumball was a real thing. Thought it was a style of how a car was dressed up. Actually sounds really interesting; I doubt there is one in Louisiana though.

That’s a damn good question. It says track time but there’s a 150 of us. How that’s going to work I have no idea. Hope its more than a parade lap.
