What exactly is the Gambler 500?
It’s a 500 mile race in the cheapest most ridiculous vehicles you can build.
I was interested in participating in the 2020 Gambler 500 and did a quick search on Google for dates and I could not find a website with all the dates posted, so I decided to build one.
Please email me at mike@bwbeach.com if you have the dates and locations for your states Gambler 500 races.
There’s obviously the main site for the event in Oregon but the rest of the country is not listed. https://www.gambler500.com/
Gambler 500 2020 in Oregon will be June 26th – 28th
Oregon June 26th – 28th
Colorado August 14th – 16th
Georgia
Vermont
Detroit
Texas
New Jersey
I’m starting a Disabled Veterans group of drivers as well. Donations for builds and transportation to and from events can be sent via paypal to mike@bwbeach.com
We’re looking for sponsors for everything from wheels and tires to suspension and camping gear.
The #1 thing vets miss about their time in the Military is Comradery and sense of purpose and these races provide both .
We may also be interested in participating in the 24 Hours of Lemons https://24hoursoflemons.com/

And a special thanks to Ian Johnson, for introducing me to the King of the Hammers back in 2011 which put my passion for fabrication and racing into motion.
Most of you are into cars and trucks, but I have a full blown Van fetish. Here’s a few companies that build incredible parts for Ford and Chevy Full Size Vans.
