pontiacgtp00 0 #6 May 2, 2008 That would kickass, does this race have a name? I drove in a couple land rover rallies about a year ago but not anywhere close to 5,000 miles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iambeav2 0 #9 May 5, 2008 I actually sent my lady friend to the store today for some "Mystic Mountain Blueberry" cuz it sure is delicious...she apparently couldn't find any...but damn if she didn't make me a label and hand it to me. It quenched my thirst after a lovely meal of Taco bell and Dominoes...

LongWayToFall 0 #11 May 6, 2008 Hey I was pretty excited about the idea of a long distance race, so I looked up more info. Its actually called the Alcan 5000! google should turn up some good info. I believe this is the main page: http://www.alcan5000.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LongWayToFall 0 #12 May 6, 2008 It seems the entry fee for a single vehicle and 2 man teams is almost $3000, almost all the teams entering are factory sponsored teams. We should find one that is free to enter, or just make the run ourselves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
