Title: Cannonball Record
Post by: surfguitar58 on Saturday,December 07, 2019, 04:25:03 AM

This is waaay off topic, but anyone who likes high performance cars will be horrified by the reckless disregard for public safety demonstrated by these guys, and yet you can't help but admire this unbelievable feat and the way they pulled it off. Interesting glimpse into the underground, outlaw world of the Cannonball Run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6s9o6uIWZw

Good find Surf. I’ve read about the antics of this group for many years and always wonder what motivates these individuals to speed across the US.  Still don’t get it, but I’m not one to criticize anyone as I’ve chased other cars around 3 mile tracks for way too long for small metal trophies, which make no financial sense at all.

The spirit of competition.
