I've been trying to get a couple WWE wrestlers to do this and film a mini-documentary, I think it would be a lot of fun to see how Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker fare when forced to team up.
 
I'd love to do this someday but I doubt I will. Seems intense.

Don't forget "pricy" .... Registration to join this rally hovers around $65k+ ($75k last time i checked)

There's of course a bit more affordable events such as the Goldrush rally which I think is about $25k to join.
