Can someone explain the Cannonball Run to me?

Now that you've taken the time to drag up a post that's darn near three years old and wow us with your knowledge of trivia.........
How about telling us something about you, your cars, why you love traditional rods and customs......stuff like that.

My father ran this years Cannonball, "The Great American Race," from NY to L.A. Apparently it was a blast and his GPS told the story. All the memory in it was saved with 150+ mph blasts through the desert.

Also told me the race was fixed from the beginning as far as the winners. But he had a killer time none the less.

 

Yes~!!

It's REALLY hilarious if you're under the influence when you see it. Don't know why...

Brock closed the pub down and auctioned it all off last year....too bad, too. They had great chili there. I drove through Wymoing (NY) hundreds of times when I was commuting from Chaffee to Rochester. Cute town, cool pub. Oh well....they dude is getting old and needed a change.

Bummer.
I loved that place.
It was so cool when we were young to pull into the bike shop and see his Challenger there. I think it had Minlites on it and all the rally timing equipment on the console. Probably tame in this time of G-Machines but, for the early seventies, it was far out.
