(Click here if the video fails to play)

From RacerX Gullwing on March 22, "In second life, the good players from various corners of the globe band together and run across the second life world to raise money for cancer. Second life is crazy and very glitchy game so you be in SHOCK over the chaos of 20+ people trying to cross one map to another. Check it out, also we race every week at Gulwingcoast at 10:30am SL/pST on Saturday so come join us! Join us!"

The cross-sim race that lasted close to an hour was won by Lendani Resident.

Biller Longfall and the Jericho Hill Racing Association

Auto racing in real life is a sport almost as old as the gasoline-powered engine, and draws huge crowds in many events. So it's no surprise once can find it in Second Life. One of the Relay events this season was the Buddy Forsythe 100. The winner, Biller Longfall, later offered to talk to the Newser about his group of racers, the Jericho Hill Racing Association.
