Default Washington,DC to Deadhose, Alaska...That could be fun?

I've been thinking, isn't it odd that there hasn't been a Cannonball/Gumball run to the northern most point you can drive in Alaska?

I think I want to do this drive at some point in my life. Any takers?<ul><li><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&amp;hl=en&amp;saddr=washington+dc&amp;dad dr=deadhorse,+AK&amp;sll=47.990025,-115.47237&amp;sspn=80.170637,163.476563&amp;layer= &amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=4&amp;ll=59.888937,-124.716797&amp;spn=30.891941,81.738

Very cool. Now just to find time to do it around work. I figure 2 weeks would be adequate.

Most of the Alaska highway is still gravel. Hundreds of miles on gravel would get old fast.

You'd need a good SUV to handle that. The usual Cannonball/Gumball cars probably would break.
