Well, my brother and I (and 2 other friends) hung around the highway waiting for the Gumballers for about an hour this evening and we were rewarded big time. The first car we saw with Gumball stickers on it pulled off the road and headed towards Firebird Raceway, so we followed. After telling the guys that we were shooting photos for some car mag they gave us the info that the cars were stopping there to race on the road course before heading down to Tucson (the fact that we had $15k in camera equipment helped us a lot also). We waited along the road by the track entrance and another van pulled up filled with Brits, it was the film crew. They interviewed us, asking stupid questions about how we became "Gumball fans" :-? , what our favorite cars were and the like.
Shortly after all the cars started showing up and we waltzed in with them to watch them on the road course. These guys beat the fuck out of their cars for a couple of hours, the F50 made probably two dozen laps, some other dude spun out his Porsche twice, almost tagging the wall once. It was nuts. We got about 200 photos and my friend got about an hour of video. I'm going to try to edit the vid as quickly as possible and put it up somewhere, but it'll be huge for sure and I don't have a place to host it.
Here are a few of the pics my brother whipped up in the meantime.
