I like reading and watching stories about more than I’d enjoy trying it. One of the cool stories was the guy who outran his credit card fraud algorithm.
I wonder if the Covid runs will ever be beaten. That was a once in a lifetime situation maybe longer. Even if we experience another even that drops traffic the speeds required are so high it’s dicey. Isn’t much room for huge improvements in the vehicles or the methods but I am sure people are dreaming and scheming as we speak. |

I fantasize about a Cannonball run from the Bay Area to LA. Shut down I5 and do like the Autobahn.

Drive a couple miles to airfield, sling load it to the west coast and drive out of the airport! |

What's the one with Gary Bussey hanging out the window with the heater on to help keep the engine from over heating?
If you watch some of those stories, 3 to 4 guys in a car, one guy drives, one guy navigates, spots, handles the radio and radar detector, sometimes even checks for airplane transponders for overhead tracking and one guy sleeps. Sometimes, they coordinate with people in other cities, even going so far as to have decoy cars. Then to do it right, the trunk is filled with fuel cells, so there's only one fuel stop. They stop at the appropriate pump so they can fill from two pumps at the same time, one guys fills the main, one guy fills the aux, 3rd guys goes to take a piss and grab food, then swap off with the other two guys, so they can go in and pee or whatever. I'm sure there's lots of pissing in bottles, farting in the car and constipation. |

The wiki page lists the good runs... I'm curious if anyone has been killed attempting one of these trips, or causing a crash.

Pull a pickup with a transfer tank along side at 70mph and refuel on the go. Not anymore dangerous than some of the other things they do. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jhereg: Would it? I know it's quick, but how well is it going to deal w/ 100+ MPH speeds on the highway for a day? I've heard multiple times it's typically some euro sedan they use for a reason. say you're probably right, maybe a supercharged or turbo isnt the best option. I'm doing Charlotte to Orlando tomorrow morning in my Challenger Scat Pack, should be fun
