Add this to the 'bonkers list' of accomplishments.
One man, a rental car, extra fuel tanks and a solo run from New York to Los Angeles in 25 Hours 55 Minutes. Absolutely insane. Pretty good read on it on R&T, here.
There have been a lot of broken records lately with the whole lock-down and lack of traffic. Apparently there is an even shorter time, but hasn't come out yet. I'm not in the know like some people, but I've been a big Cannonball fan and the history of it all. The book by Brock Yates on the original and historical part of it is incredibly fascinating and a great read!
Read the book, it's so much better, I can't begin to describe how good it is.
I hope that Mr. Ed makes a movie about the history and whole thing, would love to see him make something about it all.
