its not an illegal race, its a road rally.
It's important to note that the Gumball is not a race. It's more of a navigational challenge... an evening of enjoying some scenic driving roads (with plenty of elevation changes and curves), with prizes at the end. At the start, the teams will receive a lengthy list of directions. Objective is to navigate the route, such that in the end, you come as close as possible to the target distance and time. The route and directions will be tricky at times, so you really have to pay attention. Only the event organizers will know the true, exact time and mileage. We do ballpark though that this Gumball will be around 100 miles in length. If you follow the directions perfectly, and observe posted speed limits, you should hit the target distance and time pretty close. As for cops, if you don't do anything stupid, you should have no problems. Participants are fully responsible for their own actions. So, if you get a ticket doing 80 in a 65, crash a red light, rearend someone, etc... it's all on you, not 330 Tuning.
