Default C8 Coast to Coast Rally | 20-27 MAY 2027

We are doing our inaugural LONG HAUL Rally next year, 2027. We are optimistic of getting at least 50 C8s maybe a 100 C8s to rally across America. Outer Banks to Monterey. Route is 75% planned. Some memebers have already emailed us to be on the wait list and some youtubers also... We are already 24% signed up for the first goal. If you want to get on the wait list, email us info@longhaulrally.com We don't have registration setup yet, but when its open, if you are on the wait list, you will get an email at least one week before its advertised to the public. You also get the additional perk of choosing your car number, we will choose in order of registration. The rally is not a timed event. This aint Gumball... there is no "Gumball" lane. Just car enthusiasts... There is still a ton to do, but we are going to make this an awesome event. You can also let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for the rally etc... Super excited for next year.

Ive posted in the C8 general discussion forum but thought it may be better suited here. I guess we will see....

Registration is OPEN for the Long Haul Rally Coast-to-Coast 2027!

This rally has been a dream for a long time, and today it finally becomes real.

This is NOT Gumball.
This is NOT Gold Rush.
Those rallies are incredible, but the entry fees put them out of reach for most of us.

Long Haul Rally was built for the working crowd.

Electricians
Plumbers
Mechanics
Welders
Truck drivers
Military
Engineers
Anyone who works hard and still wants to live a little.

I spent 21 years in the US Air Force and now work as a broadcast engineer overseeing 260+ stations across the country.
I drive constantly, and somewhere along the road this idea hit me:

Why isn’t there a coast-to-coast rally regular people can afford?

So we built one.

8 days
3000+ miles
Outer Banks to California
C8 Corvette only
Limited to 100 cars
First come, first served

This isn’t about racing.
This is about the drive, the people, the stories, and doing something most never will.

Registration opens today.

👉 www.longhaulrally.com

The first group to sign up will always be remembered as the ones who made the first Long Haul Rally happen.

Let’s go.

We want YOU! on the RALLY! This is turning out to be a trip of a lifetime. 100 C8s on a 3200 mile, no kidding rally. Swag bags, Radios, Windshield banner, Side livery, and for sure some great prizes and awards. Car club award for most participation and also social media page(Facebook, Instagram, Youtube) award for most participation. Oh yeah, we have a RALLY APP too. We added stops along the route for bonus points that are optional We had this capped at 50 but due to the response, we increased the to 100 C8s and now looking at setting a Guinness World!



This is next year, May 20-27, 2027. Plenty of time to plan, but time is running out to secure a spot. We expect to be completely sold out for this rally by mid-summer.



Most C8 owners have never been on a rally. You don't need experience. We have people coming from San Diego, Boise, Dallas and Houston, even the Nova Scotia Corvette Club. One word for this rally, EPIC!



The parking lots COLD STARTS are going to be nuts! Get you spot NOW! https://www.longhaulrally.com/2027-corvette-rally to see the rally or if you're more adventurous, start with the pay link. https://checkout.square.site/merchan...2KODDF2R5MVSFY



If you have ANY questions, message us, email us, call us, drive by, or in person at the 2026 Corvette Invasion although it may be too late.
