WHAT IS THE FIREBALL RUN? ADVENTURE TRAVEL -- GREEN CELEBRITY STYLE
The Fireball Run is a Luxury Travel Tour where participants help distribute literature and posters to help find America's Missing Children while playing a game and participating in a transcontinental race.
To date, the special event is one of the most unique transcontinental races in the world, and is the single largest active recovery charitable effort for missing kids.
Traveling to different cities across the country every year and working with local state and city officials, the Fireball Run has aided in the recovery of 32 missing youth (from infants through children up to the age of 18).
FIREBALL RUN: PART GAME, PART ROAD RALLY, PART AUTO RACE -- ALL STAR HEART
The Fireball Run is an adventure rally where competitors will drive in a 3,500 mile race over the course of 9 days. Each day will bring a new mental game challenge, a list of tasks to complete, and will bring drivers in and out of a new host city.

GET THE HECK INTO DODGE! FAMOUS WILD WEST GATEWAY CITY DRAWS NEXT GENERATION
Quotes about Dodge City, Kansas history and the Fireball Run road rally --
"Dodge City, Kansas, built at the crossroads of America’s western history where millions of Texas longhorns met the railroads. The rich western heritage and hospitality is still very evident today in this bustling community of approximately 30,000." -- http://www.dodgecity.org
"The old saying Get the Heck OUT of Dodge might have come from travelers passing through Dodge City in the days of yore -- but nowadays, road warriors and scenic byway travelers can't wait to get the heck IN to Dodge! Our rally racers can't wait to go there!!" -- J.J. Sanchez of the Fireball Run
"Usually a vacation for me involves only a day or two of sand and beach with a little swimming... Finally, I am at a time in my life now that I am semi-retired from Lamborghini; a time that I can take a beautiful trip by car across America and see famous places I have only read about in history books and travel magazines.... This I can do while helping to find the children? I tell you, Americans give to charity with 100% heart, and I am honored to be able to join you on such an amazing event and rally... Also, to be welcomed to visit famous places like Dodge City... thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this next generation of a historic journey." -- Valentino Balboni, legendary test car driver for famous Italian exotic car company Lamborghini and Honorary Track Chairman for the Fireball Run Adventurally
