yeah i figure 10% of the people wont make it out of the keys. there are a ton of rules, and fist place wins $500000 in cash or gold. it is a very cool thing. i'd love to have members of the forum tracking the race accross the country. we should try to set something up.

Shouldn't be too hard to track. Just have someone in each State check their newspaper daily. When they see a big increase in traffic fines, they'll know they made it that far.

The article in the link you provided says it was June 20th.

On June 20th, 2010 some of the world’s most fearless riders will come together for a 7,000 mile run from Key West, FL to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Across two countries we will ride and test our will as warriors in the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge!
It is August now, so ya'll missed it.

Well, guess I am the one that didn't read it so well...... LOL
It's not until next year.
