New Cannonball Record set

[SteveG1988]

27 hours 25 minutes. NYC-LA. In 2013 Ed Bolian and Dave Black set the prior record of 28:50 and that was going to be the record for a while, in a video Ed described it as a slot machine, it has to line up for a jackpot to even get 28:50.

From what I could tell from the YouTube videos about the run, the team took the "Northern"  route, or basically I-80 from NYC west

80->76(Western)->70->15->No idea what the Southern Cali/LA area route was. Redondo Beach is mentioned as the Endpoint

Deduced from the team mentioning "Northern"  route, Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska, and Colorado in a YouTube video

The traditional start and end points are the Red Ball Garage in New York and the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach.

Yes, and those are the Start/End points this team used, after reading more stories about the recent accomplishment

After deciphering the addresses for the two locations (142 East 31st Street for the Red Ball Garage and 260 Portofino Way for the Portofino Inn), this is what I came up for the route:

Normally, it would take 42 hours and 15 minutes to complete the trip, which clocks in at 2,815 miles.
