Hope they make a documentary out of this in a year when the statute of limitations expires! https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...ball-run-new-york-la-averaging-mph-heres-how/
That’s some next level preparedness. “Some silver passenger vehicle” nothing like the good ol’ hop in and floor it no more.
Its impressive for sure- thats gotta be a mental drain . Stressed about cops and/ or an arrest for 24 hrs straight, constantly on the lookout .... someone will break it again in the next yr or 2.
True risky to do that these days as a lot of states aren’t playing around but seems like they were as “safe” as possible
I've done about a dozen Phoenix to NYC drives. Back in 2002 my friend and I did NYC to AZ in about 34 hours and we thought we were flying.
I’ve done 100 miles in 1h on a bike back in Germany , with 3/4 of it being Autobahn - on a Friday afternoon. Even though in a car, I cannot imagine why you would want to do that for 27h, with all the illegality involved
BS. That ain't the record. The official comes from a preplanned event and you sure as shit don't get to leave at 1am.
I thought in the few actual Cannonball Runs you drew for start times, first and best was midnight? My problem is with all of the spotters. Spotter or not, hell even if you had a police escort, averaging 103 mph for 27 hours across the country is absolutely insane. I wonder if the original runs had spotters?
Not only no, but Hell No. And, on top of that, the police knew you were coming. This trickery shit of leaving when you want at the slowest travel time of the year is BS.
The spotter game would Be quite a bit different using only radios not cellular - range compresses quickly in triple digits
