Destructo Report post Posted November 14, 2019 That's pretty exciting! I haven't been able to watch the full video, but I got the impression he wasn't naming name (sure Statute of Limitations, I get that) but did he mention the new time? I also find this extremely hilarious because of the recent release of the Apex TV special on NBCSports a couple weeks ago. Anyone catch that?

Except that they took the northern route. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructo Report post Posted November 15, 2019 Ed I think you should do a proper documentary about the history from start to present! That is a movie I'd love to see. Even though Apex just came out, and it some great historic stuff, my gosh was it the Alex Roy show. It might as well been titled "The Alex Roy Cannonball Run" brought to you by Alex Roy, produced by Alex Roy, starring Alex Roy talking about the 'awesomness' of Alex Roy. It was insufferable. And he didn't even hold the record while making the movie, and also seemed to forget a few people in the title chase as well. I read his book a long time ago, and it was the same thing, all about himself and how great he is. Ed has the wherewithal to talk about something greater than himself and not make it all about his ego, unlike Roy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy is entertaining too. But differently. Thanks for the Video Ed! Ill check it out, love your channel! Ironically I wore the Montana Tax Shelter shirt 40 miles out of my damn way(I live in a different county by 1 blocks, but I knew that when I bought the house) to pay tax on a cheap car I bought.

You're 100%, Roy is definitely entertaining, just not my flair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctaM3 Report post Posted December 4, 2019 Nicely done guys. I love the recent documentaries on Cannonball. There is so much history there. As they said in the VINWiki story, "records are meant to be broken." We have not seen the end of these but hopefully executed a nicely as these 3 guys. Roy & Ed are legend but so are the OG who started it all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griza Report post Posted December 5, 2019 How do we feel about the record being broken by taking a different route than every other cannon baller? Is it a NY-LA regardless of route or should everyone have to take the same path to glory? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i'm cool with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLK85 Report post Posted December 7, 2019 Seeing the mainstream media pick up the story and reading some of the comments is pretty funny. Saying they are risking people's lives, which they are. But the car is prepped better than most cars on the road I am sure. And they want to go home to their family's too. Everyone here has probably sped at pretty high numbers. Its all a risk.
