[OOG]The Widmore Race Around the World Lost Experience fansite -- old (2006) news In colbyrook's excellent correspondence with Rob, Rob mentioned something about the Widmore Race.
I'll confess I was never privy to The Lost Experience, so let me know how much of this ties in with that, or if this info is new to "Lost" and/or 1-18-08.
In "Lost," Charles Widmore was a billionaire industrialist, father of Desmond's long-lost love Penny.
Googling the Widmore race brought me here:
http://www.widmorerace.com/
So is this a leftover from The Lost Experience, or brand new to 1-18-08? Can anyone Whois it? And if it IS Cloverfield-related, does this DEFINITELY point to a long-rumored "Lost" tie-in?

Okay, since it was created 8/29/06, I'm assuming it was for TLE, and not part of Cloverfield.
Still thought it was odd that Rob would so blatantly reference "Lost" topics in his post to Colbyrook.

that http://carpeoccasio.com site is quite strange.
Just tried it, on the page where the address bar says menu, theres nothing there but
"... rather seize the opportunity
Acts 7:21"
Maybe this site has something to do with something, i can't see any relevance, but someone else may

... btw... looks like the Colby mail was a hoax.

Waitaminnit!
The Widmore Race site was UPDATED TODAY. 10/2/07.
It's in play.
And I don't know where you got carpeoccasio from, but interesting:
Acts 7:21: "But when he was set out, Pharaoh's daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son."
A reference to Moses, but it could also be metaphorical for characters in "Lost" -- Penny Widmore could be "Pharaoh's daughter"....

According to Lostpedia , WidmoreRace.com is a fan-made site:

There is a new fan-created non-ABC website that is up that is connected to the race: Widmore Race Around The World.

Yeah...I'm labeling this OOG, then -- a reference to a defunct fansite that was part of The Lost Experience.
So...Cloverfield seems to still be unrelated to Lost.
