Help iFunny Win the Gambler 500 Again
Donation protected
Howdy everybody, I am once again asking for your financial support.
The Gambler 500 is an annual event where folks buy a dirt cheap car, and drive it off-road for 3 days while picking up trash. This year, I will be attending the OG Gambler in Redmond, Oregon. The event is on June 21st-23rd. I am also planning on doing the HooptieX, which is a timed race at the OG Gambler.
iFunny has had a long history competing in the Gambler 500. It first started back in 2020, when the user NCR learned about the Gambler 500. He was able to get a crew together, and create the first ever iCar. They named the car, “Curse Breaker”, after the infamous iFunny car curse. They drove the car in the event, and made it through without crashing the said car. The next year, they competed in the event again.
But unfortunately, they stopped after 2021. That's where I stepped in.
In 2023, I started a GoFundMe to purchase a new car and continue the Curse Breaker’s legacy. I was able to raise well over the initial goal, and use that money to buy an old Chevy Blazer. I named the car High Noon (If you know, you know), and wrapped it in the finest dollar store vinyl I could find.
We competed in the event, collecting trash and dust as we went. If you would like to see videos and photos from the event, you can find them here.
This year, I once again need y’alls help. High Noon took a pretty good beating from the event last year. Something is draining the battery, and the exhaust has a crack somewhere. Heck! The poor thing can’t even pass an emissions test. Also, gas prices aren't the best either.
So, to make things clear, your donation money will go towards; fixing the car, gas, upgrades, food, admission into the event, and lots more.
I will be recording videos and taking photos during the event. I will upload these to my social media.
Please note I do not have any affiliation with NCR and the users that made the original car.
