There’s a video too, embedded in the story. They really made that AMG look like a nondescript silver sedan.

An amazing group of articles on these totally insane guys. Average speed? 103 mph.

How they evaded the cops is an amazing story in itself.

Happy shaves,

You got to dodge them, you got to duck them, you got to keep that diesel trucking.

 

[RealPretendPsychic]

I’m shocked and appalled. And impressed and amazed.

Don't be so sure they evaded the cops. They plastered themselves all over the internet. They are on traffic cams across the country. They should be prosecuted in every jurisdiction they passed through.

Part of me agrees with you. Honestly, like, maybe, 33%.

But.... the rest of me, the kid that spent his allowance money on Burt Reynolds movies is extremely jealous.

I paid more attention to Sally Field than Burt Reynolds.

What a buzzkill.

What a buzzkill.

They admitted to cruising at over 160 mph at night on many stretches. Killing some innocent people would have been a buzzkill. There is no justifying this activity. If they want to race, they should go on a racetrack.

I’m sure no one disagrees. OP is just sharing the story. It’s pretty obvious laws were broken and public safety put at risk.

Just to be a cantankerous old man, I would state the obvious:

An old lady doing 45 mph on the freeway in the fast lane for 5 miles is more dangerous than these 3 hombres were cross country!

These guys are actually pretty funny too. They've documented some of their stories on the "VINWIKI" youtube channel.

How many cops knew who they were and wanted them to win?

Dont want to get caught in Canada...

I watched this last night and remembered this thread.

Its a different crew in a modified BMW M5 in an underground race called the US Express, NYC to Los Angeles. The footage is from a few years ago because they had to wait until the statute of limitations came into effect before before going public.

The US Express started when the Cannonball Run ended in 1979.

Theres lots of in car footage and sure they were speeding, but they wernt driving aggressively or being dangerous. One can drive fast without being careless, especially, as they describe in detail in the documentary, when you know how to treat the truckers.

The fastest time stated at the end of the documentary was set by two drivers and a spotter in a modiified Mercedes CL55 AMG.

It seems theres a new record set almost every year now.

Looks like some crafty buggers used the shutdown to smash the record again.

Empty roads set stage for new Cannonball Run cross-country record of 26 hours, 38 minutes

Although the details aren't yet clear, the run was reportedly set in a 2019 Audi A8.
