For over a decade, the annual 's8220;Gumball 3000's8221; open road rally has gathered an odd assortment of celebrities, high-rollers, speed freaks and athletes for a cross-country blast packed with mayhem. The 2009 was no different, with 120 high-power supercars running from Los Angeles to Florida by way of Vegas, The Grand Canyon, Santa Fe, Dallas and New Orleans for a 3,000 mile cavalcade of speed, and WebRidesTV was there for the kickoff in Santa Monica, California.
The kickoff for the event was packed with paparazzi, celebrities of both the Hollywood and automotive variety and extreme vehicles ranging from Italian exotics and ultra rare British
supercars to Tony Hawk and his Hennessy turbocharged Jeep Grand Cherokee. To view the video, go to http://www.webridestv.com/showvideo.aspxvideo=195791.
