I'll be shocked if some of the family members of those who died/were injured don't sue. Even with obeying the speed limit your still putting people (including non-participants) at great risk by not mandating breaks like Road Rallys require.

Reminds me of those old movies, the Gumball Rally or something like that.

You can't sue someone cuz they were to stupid to rest.

I'm actually surprised to hear he actually got the $$. I thought they'd figure a way NOT to pay anyone.

Great interview and I was very impressed with his preperations before the ride. I know there is no way that I could make it on that little rest. 194 hours and only 10 of that without the wheels moving! Figure in the gas stops and that is less that 8 hours sleep in 8 days, wow!

Looks like it was legit after all, huh? He got the MONEY (or at least he says he did).
