Sup, eveyone,

The Greatone here keeping you all posted from the gatorun. It's now 8:54 am, and I'm in 360 Forged Mercedes with Migs. We're headed to the starting location to talk about the race, have breakfast, and sticker up the cars. Wait till you all see the L4P sticker. Its looks sweet in a Miami Vice kinda way.

I'm posting this all from my new Google G1, so it should be pretty easy to keep you all up to date on the event. For those missing out on this, I'm sorry, because this run is going to be nuts!

If anyone wants to chit chat during the race, you can IM from google gtalk. My screen name is 360Photographer.

Also keep your eyes out for tons of photos from the run.

Wish us all all luck, and a safe trip. *4 fingers up*

ok... It's official, Jordan, and Big Jon are the first ones to ever get a ticket in the gatorun. lol. Talking to Jordan, he told me the tickt was for 230 bucks. Ouch! And Jordan being the person that he is said... "It's all in fun". **** that! if it were me I'd be crying like a bitch. 230 bucks goes a long way for a guy like me.

i hope i be as cool as jordan one day...lol

At the bar with Jorden, he gets a call from Migs (poor guy) after replacing the first flat, and getting fixed, he get another flat on a new tire. So, after replacing that one with a spare, he gets pulled over near the hotel, and slapped with a ticket. If you ask me... if their is anyone not having fun on this trip it would be poor Migs.

Sorry man.

Still feeling the effects of last nights party, and just 3 hours of sleep. Eveeyone seems stoked to check out the hotel, and hit the road again. First stop is the Cars & coffee meet. From what everyone is saying we should be expecting to see some pretty sick cars there. ill keep you guys posted.

We're now leaving the Cars & Coffee event to grab some breakfast. Good, because I'm hungry as hell. The amount of cars at the Cars & Coffee was insane! These guys know how to get a turn out. All kinds of cars can be seen here. I'm almost sure they do this event the last weekend of every month.

I,ll post more up soon. Everyone is racing to get some food in their system before we race back home for the after party.

OK guys her's the scoop.... Half the group was got away, or were let go. A few people got stupid ticket for tints, expired tag, and crap like that. The cops also took some of our film footage from our cameras (can someone check on this?) I'm not sure they're allowed to do this without a warrent? Anyway, everyone is cool, and safe. We're all going to grab some lunch before we head back home. I wonder how many times we'll get stopped on that ride? Guess we'll just have to wait, and see....?

As of right now this run has been a major rush for everyone. I've been on a few of these with other groups, and -'ve gotta say the gatorun has best the greatest one, hands down. I truley hope to see those that were not able to this one on the next one. Yes, I'm talking to you MTK, RAW, CHE, and all the other top dogs of L4P.

Can't wait till you see what I got putting their 4 fingers up for you guys.

I'll post more after lunch, and hit the road again.

So, the 360 crew just finished lunch, and a big one at thit. I feel I need to take the biggest shit of life. Anyway, all the other guys have been on the highway headed home. They've got a good 30min head start on our crew, but I have a feeling we can catch up. We have the weapons!

Now, about the guy handcuffed to the poll... I tried to keep that info out of here, since you brought up, I'll go with it. That was one of the Pro race drivers. As of why they slapped him in cuffs....? I still have no info on that. What I do is that he was let go. We ran into him at the last stop as I was leaving. He did show off his tickets to me long enough to to take some pics as he posed. I was able to count about 4-5 tickets.

I'm gonna work hard on getting that info for you guys as to why the handcuffs.

Hit you all up later.

That was a good time minus almost getting arrested!

We ended up getting off ridiculously easy with nothing (humor and kindness goes a LONG way).

I was worried they were going to check my camera gear and photos and try to dig through it to find some photos of people doing stupid things but they never did.

We had nothing to hide in our car though.

For the record, anyone in the Tampa Bay or Orlando area, all of us who almost got arrested, chased down by a helicopter, stopped by 10 cop cars, and blocked off an entire HIGHWAY, we will be on the local news station tonight and Youtube too apparently.

Zach and I were repping the 4 all while in the midst of nearly getting arrested and being video taped by the local news crew.

Pretty sure that would have made for the most epic photograph in history.

Well guys, it looks like Team 360 is out of the race. We got caught up in some major traffic on the highway, and I made them pull over, becuase I really had to pee bad. I'm sure all the other guys made it to the finish line, if not very near to it. I'm pretty we're just gonna head home, and never make it to the finish line. I'll give Abel a call later to find out who won the race, and it what car.

All in all, this has got to be by far one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. It was full of thrills, and some spills, but over all it turned out great. We had cars from just about every class hitting speeds of 120+ mph at some points. We've been pulled over, blocked off, been issued tickets, heck even at one point we had a police chopper on our ass. In the end though... we had no major car troubles, nobody was arrested (came close), and no one was injured. Maybe some hang overs, but that's it.

For those of you that have been following my play by play on this gatorun, I thank you, and hope I was able to fill your minds with what kind of weekend this has been. I'm sure some of my post may have seemed a bit off, but remember... I've been doing this all by cell phone, and at great speeds.

I would like to thank all our sponsors, too many to name. Thank you to Abel, and Juan, the guys that made gatorun what is. And.... last, but not least, L4P, not only for being a major sponsor, but also for running one of the greatest sites on the net right now.

I start working on photos in the morning when I get in the office, so keep an ou out everyone.

Again, thank you all, and hope to see all of you at the next gatorun which is already in the works.
