AKA Rally 2009 - Savannah to Monterey

Ok guys, as usual I’m posting to try and generate some LOCAL interest in this event :wink: This year AKA Rally is going from Savannah Georgia to Monterey California. The dates for the trip are July 31st - August 7th. I can’t even begin to describe how awesome this event is every year, and it constantly gets better. Basically, I’ve made a ton of lifelong friends who I regularly hang out with in a variety of cities across the US, who have shared some of the craziest and most incredible stories of my life. The AKA Rally has a variety of events we’ve enjoyed in the past such as a private day on a prepped course at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Private Go Kart rentals, VIP parties, Full Access to ALMS and F1 races, White Water Rafting, Track Days, and a host of other exclusive events.

I’m sure some of you have heard me come back raving about some of the insanity that takes place. A few NYSpeed’rs have gone in the past and I think ultradriver and deathproof have put down deposits to go this year as well, I think Onyx and Haenszel may be trying to join us this year too.

This past year we had:
2 Corvette Z06s E92 M3
2 E60 M5s
4 E39 M5s
Turbo 350z
Cayenne Turbo x2
Ferrari 360
Porsche Boxster
Supra Turbo
2 STi’s
C6 Corvette
Volvo S60R
BMW 135i
Porsche 996 C2
Porsche 996 GT3
Porsche 993 C2 3.8
MINI Cooper S
Delorean DMC-12
Cage Free Ducati 916S
Turbo RX8
BMW M Coupe
Lifted Ram Diesel
Nissan GTR (x2)

And a few others that got left off the list.

Anyway, enough with the pitch, if that didn’t convince you here are some photos from previous years.

Hope to see a few of you on this year’s rally :slight_smile:

AKA is so sick, Id love to go, but it isn’t in the cards this year, cash wise.

is it 4k per car ?

$4k covers your car, 2 people, hotels, events, parties, dinners and other select meals.

You pay for gas, any other food you want, tickets. I think additional people can be added for $900 each.

Me and Deathproof are indeed going and have already put the money on the table!

I can’t wait! Spending all my time and money getting the car prepped for it too. :wink: need to allow it to keep up with them 430s and what not.

How feesible would it be to go on a sportbike? Would you need another driver in a car with the gear/etc.

4 people have gone on sport bikes. Ducati, 600RR, R1/R6. We’re a friendly group and always help carry extra fuel, and the luggage of the guys on bikes.

You’re insane if you’re thinking about it, but it’s totally doable :slight_smile:

If you go over to revmat.ch and post about it I’m sure Justin will respond about taking his Ducati last year.

Not in the cards this year, but I would love to entertain an idea like this when the time is right. I just don’t know how my lower back would feel about it:roflpicard:

:tup: looks siqqq BTW

Uhg sounds sick, i wish i could throw the money down this year for it. maybe next year ill be able to make it.

aprox how much did it run in tickets? do you still have points on your license as a result? when if people got arrested did they meet up at the next place or are you out?

looks like a ton of fun but i drive for a living and cant risk loosing my license…

Points do not transfer to NY, except from Ontario and Quebec. Tickets out west are CHEAP. We got pulled once for 88 in a 55 in Montana, $48 dollar ticket on the spot, and my 94 in a 55 in CO was $118 :lol: The only place out west that’s expensive ticket wise is CA, where I’ll be watching my speed… hopefully.

I’ve only seen 3 people get arrested for on road activities they were not booted out. AKA doesn’t condone speeding, but shrug.

Two people have been booted out in the past 5 events I’ve done, and they had to do with stupidity in a hotel.

NOt this year… its during my honeymoon, but next year for sure

ya I just watched the 04 video, the intro the guy in NY said drive safe and don’t speed…lol

also there was 2 guys throwing fire crackers off a parking garage that got arrested so i can see what you mean by stupidity in the hotel.

Seems like a ton of fun. Some day I’d love to do this.

I’d love to do this one of these days. maybe next year if things work out and I get something a little better than the integra…

Mike, stop re-hashing my interest in this.

Goddammit.

ugh i wish i had a fast and or reliable car!!

If anyone can supply that i will go $2500 on the entry fee

nothing like getting laid off and enjoying life as result.

If you guys stop in Vegas let me know!

Get Josh to crew in for video… if that happens i can switch some vacation around and help out… may not be able to do the entire thing but we’ll see.
