The Adventure Starts Today  

(Posted @ KenyaAllmond.me)
Dear Family and Friends,

I just wanted you to know that I will be competing in Autoweek’s America Adventure (theamericaadventure.com) starting tomorrow. We start out in Seattle today (starting line tomorrow) and end up in Vegas next Tuesday at the SEMA auto show (semashow.com). The catch is that we have no clue where we will end up along the way. Each day we will be given Amazing Race style clues as to where we need to go and challenges (most involving driving – including some race track driving). At the end of the day whoever scores the most points will get a key.

At SEMA each team with a key will be given a chance to see if their key starts a Mopar Charger worth $40,000. If it does, they (we) get the car. The Discovery Channel is doing a 1-hour documentary on the competition.

My partner is John Davis of Detroit. Here’s his short bio:
John Davis is a native Detroiter who has traveled the world for work and pleasure, and is always ready for a challenge. John is the host of 2 Guys & A Mic on whatchatalkinbout.com. His wit can be seen on social networks far and wide. John has appeared on numerous television programs, most notably “The Weakest Link” on NBC. John is a frequent radio guest discussing sports, technology, politics and social media.

More info including my bio at: theamericaadventure.com/teams/49
Even if we don’t win the car this could be a trip of a lifetime. I’ve always wanted to drive the Pacific Coast Highway and we likely will. And you probably dont know that I want to go on The Amazing Race. After working for FTI with all that “by the seat of your pants” travel I’m sure I could do it. You know I have my camera and a bunch of other gadgets with me.

We were selected to participate in this competition for free (entry fee is $5,000) because we will cover the competition on social media. I’m asking for your support by following along with us.

The easiest way is on Twitter at twitter.com/TeamSocialFTW. The Twitter account will include links to other media we post like photos, videos, and blog posts. If you’re on Facebook a lot of what’s posted will end up there too. Photos will be at flickr.com/groups/TeamSocialFTW. We’re working on a shared YouTube channel as well and other ways to aggregate the content in one place. On top of that we will have in car internet so well be connected wherever we go.

I hope you join us on this adventure. Thanks for your support!

Kenya and John

I’m Going on an Adventure!  

Orginally published @ http://kenyaallmond.me

Specifically that adventure is the AutoWeek America Adventure.  I was just minding my business (like I always do) and I saw a link on Google+ about a contest to win a chance to compete in the Adventure.  It sounded neat and I commented on the post; then John Davis suggested that we enter as a team.  Sure, why not?  We entered on a fluke at the very last minute last week.  I could hardly believe when I saw “Congratulations” in my GMail inbox preview.  I was floored.


What the Adventure entails is an Amazing Race style competition with clues and challenges.   While we know that the race will start in Seattle and end in Vegas for the SEMA Show, we don’t know where we will end up in between.  We’ll find out each day when we figure out our clues.  The Adventure will also incorporate race track driving as some of the challenges.  We will have in car internet access for solving clues and navigation and use our smartphones to read Gettag codes to prove we’ve completed our missions.  We’ll have to keep our social network communities informed about what we’re doing.  So this race has the following elements: Amazing Race, a road trip, an auto show, race track driving, gadgets, social media and the internet.  These are all things that I love love love!  If someone says something about monster trucks I think I will have fulfilled every childhood fantasy I’ve ever had.  The Adventure is also being covered by the Discovery Channel for a one hour documentary.

What we are competing for is a chance to win this Mopar Charger.  We have not yet decided how we will deal with this car when we win but I call first on it.  Imagine me on the Beltway in that.



The Adventure runs October 26 through November 1 so stay tuned for more updates.
