What is a Rental Car Rally you ask? I'll let the good people of RCR explain:
Rental Car Rally is Halloween on Wheels
RCR is an overnight, backroads-mostly driving competition between crazily-festooned teams competing for cash prizes and a golden gas pump. There are usually between 25 and 60 teams per event. Except this one time there were 73 teams and some dudes dressed as clowns crashed their minivan on a bridge in Canada. So. Anyway. It's ballerhouse tits-out crazytown.
You Win by Hitting the Checkpoints and Looking Awesome
RCR isn't technically a race. The team with the lowest odometer score and best costumes wins. Each team must hit several checkpoints along the route, including sites like abandoned airfields, giant decommissioned howitzers, airplane graveyards, and other absurdly awesome locations.
Expect Good Times and Possible Incarceration
Trucks, covered in dog fur! Grown men, dressed like Rambo! Grown women, dressed like trailer trash! Border patrol agents who don't like pot cookies, sheriffs who'll accuse you of pedophilia, casino owners unamused by costumed gamblers, and bar managers who will kindly referee an impromptu Greco-Roman wrestling match. True stories. When you rally with RCR, you meet some amazing people who are bored with conventional entertainment and weary of respecting the Interstate Highway System.

I'll be participating with my friend Jen that I know from grad school, and some of her friends from back home (LA). Our Rental Car Rally will be from LA to Vegas! There are six crazy people on our team and we will be known as "80s Cartoon Mash-Up." Here's who will be rockin out in our minivan:
Rainbow Brite (me)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (Raphael)
Care Bear
She-Ra
Cheetara
Jem
We'll depart LA late Friday night (11pm I think), attempt to hit all the check points on our overnight adventure, and hopefully find ourselves in Vegas on Saturday morning. With the help of some energy drinks, I'm sure, we'll have to gear up for two nights in Vegas, before heading home on Monday for some much needed sleep!
More to come on the awesomeness of this adventure, but in the meantime, check out all the crazy teams we will be competing against, only to later party with...
My faves so far are: "All Hands on Dick: She's Going Down" and "Horny Hassel and Hoffettes"
