About the Gumball Rally

Posted on August 16, 2010 by The Michigan Gumball Rally

This Michigan based event on August 6th-7th 2011 is called The Michigan Gumball Rally dubbed “The Ultimate Road-Trip” to the UP and back, where anyone can join in our 100 vehicle convoy across Michigan for a weekend, competing for cash and prizes, while we contribute to Michigan business, and help charity at the same time.

We will be starting AUGUST 6th at “The Departure” event @ Cauley Ferrari / Cauley Performance Automotive in West Bloomfield, MI
Drivers and passengers participate in “Checkpoint Challenges” and Gumball Teams will acquire “points” The objective of the rally is to stay within the convoy of 100 vehicles, not break down, or get pulled over. The last car in the convoy may be the winner. No one will find out who the winner of the Trophy & $15,000 is until our awards ceremony @ The Woodward Cruise. (Aug 20th Secret location)
The cost to enter the event is $1,000 that covers your official stickers, hotel room in Northern Michigan, Official gear, Track time at Michigan International Speedway, and VIP status at our Pontiac Silverdome Arrival Event. Entry Fee’s can be reduced by finding “Personal Sponsors” such as a local business owner. You can have up to 6 personal Sponsors. (email Michigangumball@gmail.com)
The “Arrival Event” will be at The Silverdome SW Parking Lot on Sunday August 7th. This will be an all day, FREE event as The Gumballers are coming back from the Rally. This will be an All ages event, with a safe Kid Zone. We expect attendance from 10,000 people and higher with entertainment such as a large Car Show, Slot car racing, R/C Track, R/C Planes, Food, Beverage, Burnout Contest, Music, Motorcycle stunt show, vendor booths, Kid Zone, Music and a possible live performance of a Michigan music artist, and plenty more.
The Arrival Event is FREE to anyone who wants to attend. This would be similar to AutoRama except it’s outside (under tents) and it’s FREE!!

We welcome everyone to get involved with Motor City Month and the Michigan Gumball Rally. The Michigan Gumball Rally is a celebration of all things that make Michigan great…our cars, our state, and our people. In the name of charity we will travel to all corners of Michigan including places not often visited in the Upper peninsula. Some will win Prizes, but everyone is guaranteed to have a great time, and see great things in out own backyard. Meeting new people will soon turn into seeing old friends, seeing our state, and having a great time doing it.
