Gambler 500

Thinking of doing the Gambler 500 next year. Anyone ever been?

Thinking about running this monster or something similar 7.3L Powerstroke 22PAX Bus

 

I ran the Detroit Gambler 500 in an old Isuzu with half a frame. Lost a shit ton of great footage but still managed to get some into a video. You will not regret it.

Bump!
I was thinking about doing it this year. Found a mitsubishi montero for 500 locally that just needs a belt and tensioner. Figured it would handle offroad pretty well. My fiance is worried about being hot in a beater though, so I said we could take the taco and swap drivers.

 

If you're willing to send it in your taco, go do it.

If not, get a good SUV and (try to) skip the wife. The whole point of the Gambler is to send it! That's like going to watch some hockey with no chance of a fight, or watching racing with no chance of a caution. For many people that's pretty boring!

 

I'm getting that vibe too. Found out there's some local ones too in Kansas and the Ozarks. Maybe I'll run those then decide if I want to drive to Oregon lol
Now I found an Audi Quatro A4 awd that would be super fun to throw some big tires on and cut the fenders out of. Also found a Honda passport 4x4 with some rear end collision damage, nothing mechanical to fix!

 

Yea I’m in Ohio and doin the DTW 500.
Tom’s expecting 6 to 800 cars.

 

Side note, anyone know the biggest tire I can run on a 98 Audi A4 Quatro with the fenders chopped out? lol
