i first found this on Major Nelson's site, it sounds like kind of a cool idea. Apparently they are trying to set a world record for number of simutaneous 100 meter dashes. The things they keep records for (what is the current record holder?)
Apparently this event will take place during a free XBL weeked - Saturday, April 23rd at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. Here is a link, straight from the Horstacio's mouth.

What do you get for helping out? It turns out you may be able to get a special (and yellow, yuck) t-shirt for your avatar. i have considered doing the event, but 10 AM on a weekend is really early for me.
i do have a big question though... How exactly can they do a simultaneous mini game sprint race - unless they have some remote way to start the event? What is the margin of error in this one (are there a couple of minutes of leeway either way)?
i would worry about not starting the race at the correct time - sorry i started it at 10:01 AM. The Xbox does take a while to load, i wonder what time i would have to turn it on to time it right.
