Cannonball Run RP?

[ebonyviper]

I was wondering if anybody is interested in an RP like this. I do want to do an RP that has some form of racing in it, even if it's illegal.

So, after watching so many of those street-racing vids on YouTube, I thought it would be a good idea to have an RP about the Cannonball Run.

Though, I know little about it, I'd still like to try it out.

Anyone else interested?

Nobody's interested? Does everybody hate my ideas?

Well I don't know if its something Phoenix would want to do.

Neil and Phoenix's father ran in them.

I would like to at least have a racing RP on here, since Track Time is dead due to Kamui's leaving. I mostly play tuners and Piston Cup racers who are no good at anything else other than racing.

A racing RP would alleviate the boredom I'm feeling right now with the other RPs and I've been doing a LOT of emotional stuff and I just like to have an RP where I can actually use characters the way they were created for.

By the vids on YouTube, I've noticed that the Cannonball Runs still occur even up to modern times. But I don't think that they have to be exactly like that.

They can be like that old movie I saw on TCM last night (It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World) where a group of people enter a race to find the prize, like money, that's offered at the end and get chased by the police throughout the RP and using their wits and smarts to outrun and lose them.

That's what I want as I'm so tired of having to be in other RPs where the idea for it is not mine (except for Swept Away because I liked Eva's idea).

I need some action.

I agree, I'll do I just got to find my in. I'll be going into work in a bit so I am sort of out of ideas at the moment.

Aren't Cannonball Runs those really long illegal races which take place on highways? Sounds right up John's alley. It'll also let me use the rest of his tuner gang, since I never got to introduce them in Track Time(exams and later lack of interest got the best of me, and now that RP's dead).

BTW, the Gumball 3000 is sort of like a modern day Run.

Intro could be similiar to this:

www.imdb.com/title/tt0057193/plotsummary

Our characters could be on a road trip or something and this is what they'll see happening on a desert highway near a cliff. After hearing the dying criminal's last words about where to find the treasure, they head off in search of said treasure, being joined by others who hear of the impromptu race to get to the place where the treasure's said to be buried. But the fact is that nobody yet knows that this is "stolen" money from many years ago and they're being monitored by the authorities who were hoping to capture the dead criminal.

So it's a race against time, cops, and whoever gets to the treasure first. Our characters might even have ideas on how to use that money once they "find" it.
