Whoa, I missed the part about the Gumball Rally 
hock:
You'll have to do a lot of thinking things through if you are serious about it. There is no way we could endorse this if its not done properly because bottom line is bad shit happens, especially when you have people blasting around that may not know what they are doing behind the wheel. You may not be familiar with the UVA car club but they've had several crashes because of back road jackassery, one of them resulting in a hospital visit and a near death from bleeding. I had a backroads crash that costed several thousand dollars and I had been doing track events for a year by that time. To think that a bunch of college kids will have enough sense/skill to not fuck up in something like Gumball is, well, wishful thinking at best and a good way for someone to get hurt at worst.
Again if you're trying to do this the smart way then we'd be interested. If you're trying to do this the dumb way then I say 'go with God'.
