Title: New Cannonball Record Set
Post by: edwaleni on April 12, 2020, 05:33:43 PM
Yes, taking an advantage of a very rare opportunity.....reduced travel due to coronavirus, and fewer trucks due to less commerce taking place, some gentlemen made a classic Cannonball record attempt and succeeded.

The new record?

26 hours 38 minutes.

We have come a long way since the days of Brock Yates and Dan Gurney.

You may have tried searching a specific board as opposed to the whole forum. By default, it searches the board you are currently looking at.
