The gumball rally (1976, 107 min.): A variety of vehicles take part in a crazy race from New York to Long Beach. The first driver to cross the finish line wins a gumball machine. But all gumballers know the real reward. Nothing can match the sheer excitement generated from pushing your fear to the outer limits as a privileged participant in such an outrageously illegal contest. Cannonball run II (1984, 108 min.): A wealthy Arab monarch offers $1 million to the winner of the infamous Cannonball Run, a grueling maniacal transcontinental tourney. Rules and sanity are blown out the window as famous faces turn up at every turn. A calamitously chaotic cross-country auto race that runs rings around any road rally ever filmed.
