How is check point rally for a purse prize not classified as racing? Of course people are going to speed because they want to win, and your doing it on public roads this is a fail.

On the contrary, the Cannon Ball Rally is a very successful event based on points (NOT SPEEDING) As expressed in the above information, if you are caught speeding or violating any traffic laws, you can be disqualified and at the very least is a point deduction. (And Yes, the event officials will most definitely know if you DO) These acts are absolutely not condoned and will not be tolerated.

Last year we had over 20 participants all in which did not violate any traffic laws and conducted themselves with the utmost courtesy on public roads and highways.

Winning is not based on how fast you negotiate the checkpoints, it is about amassing points. Points are achieved many different ways and the driver with the most points (1st, 2nd, and 3rd places) wins. The check points are also how you acquire points. Again, its not how fast you get there, its if you can find them. Last years winner took home over $150.00 and his over all time was not the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd fastest time.

I think you are misunderstanding the event. I invite you and anyone else interested to our SDZ32 Club meet next week on Wed Aug. 11th 6:30 -9:30 at Miramar Speed Circuit and we can explain more in detail of the event.

Also Please feel free to contact me directly as I'll be happy to explain more on how the event works. It would be really great to have the 240sx guys come out and represent. Hope you still have interest in attending or participating.

I haven't been in a poker run before but they had them in Okinawa, and I missed it due to work. It's not about the speed and If I was in still in SD i'd jump all over it. Yeap you should look into it more before you start speaking negative about it. If you knew any of the Z32 Members in SD or CPark you would know this event is legit. I would feel alot better doing an event with these guys, before a Zilvia/SDREV event.

No problem. For many the event is a new concept that needs to be experienced to get the full benefit. Hope you can make it out to our meet and to check out the event. Enjoy

We estimate the completion of the event to be in 3.5-4 hours

How much is the cash prize?

1st, 2nd and 3rd cash prizes are determined by how many entries we have. Last year there was 20 competitors and 1st place took home approximately $150.00

Are any other cars besides Nissan-Infinity-Datsun allowed to run in the event?

Unfortunately NO. The event is vehicle specific.

Can I use GPS or any other device to help me out?

Absolutely, any and all forms of technology are allowed.
I.E: computers, internet, GPS and even as low tech as pulling over and asking a local for direction.
