Does anyone know the exact checkpoint hotels and dates that the rally will be in LA and San Diego. To everyone I have asked it seems like a big mystery.

 

Top Secret

 

I thought I would get the response, the best I have found was the fact that they will be closing down parts of Hollywood Blvd, considering that starting date you can pretty much guess the dates.

 

CLOSING DOWN HOLLYWOOD BLVD FOR GUMBALL...........JUST SOUNDS LIKE PUBLICITY STUNT ONLY NOT REALLY A CAR THINGY.....................

 

Exactly why I am asking, that's what I have been reading!

 

The routes are not published, but is available to some; Film crews and media press.

 

PM me if you need it.

 

Nah they send it out a while back. http://www.gtspirit.com/2008/02/21/g...8-dates-route/

9th Aug 2008 San Francisco
10th Aug 2008 Los Angeles
11th Aug 2008 San Diego

But since it's Gumball HQ we're talking about eveything can change last minute.

 

I would love to follow the Gumball from LA to SD. Hopefully I can find out the starting point/time

 

They will be at the big SoCal euro Gathering as a checkpoint

i believe its on Hollywood Blvd between orange and highland... then you can ask someone for the san diego accommodations.
