'Cannonball Run' record broken with 27 hour, 25 minute cross-country drive

speed1.jpeg


It’s a record that doesn’t officially exist, and legally can’t be broken, but a team has obliterated the legendary “Cannonball Run” mark by driving across the USA in 27 hours and 25 minutes.

Road & Track first broke the news that cross country racers Arne Toman and Doug Tabutt, along with spotter Berkely Chadwick, left New York City’s Red Ball Garage just after midnight on Nov. 10 in a modified Mercedes-Benz sedan and drove to the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach, Calif. -- the same start and finish points used during the first “Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash” in 1971.

They weren’t taking part in a competition, although both drivers had before. Toman tells Fox News Autos that he’s made the run five times during illicit transcontinental events, but this time it was a solo effort specifically designed to break a record set in 2013, when Ed Bolian, Dave Black and Dan Huang completed the route in 28 hours 50 minutes, which was over two hours faster than the previous best time.

Toman has a background in the performance car business and now runs an Illinois CNC machine shop and a clothing company called Crook County. He chose a silver 2015 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG for the trip that he removed the badges from and strategically covered with tape to make it look as non-descript as possible, while tuning it to 700 hp and installing a fuel cell in the tank for extended range between fill-ups.

Toman also added an array of electronic law enforcement countermeasures – radar detectors, laser jammers, police scanner, etc. – that included a thermal imaging camera mounted to a gimbal on the roof that was used to look for police cars parked on the side of the road. Waze and an “underground” speed trap app provided crowdsourced intelligence, while 18 scout vehicles rendezvoused with them at points along the way to drive up ahead and check for speed traps, traffic and other obstacles.

They followed the so-called northern route along I-80, I-76, I-70 and I-15 at an average speed of 103 mph, and hit a top speed of 193 mph at an undisclosed location.

Toman said it was an uneventful 2,825-mile drive without any close calls, as far as accidents are concerned.

just realized that I am easy to spot in the game highlights. I'm the gray coat guy sitting behind the Buckeye basket in the first half who keeps jumping up every time they get a bucket, lol.

I was behind the Buckeye basket in the first half as well, over by the player entrance. My kid was the one on the jumbo tron stuffing his face with cotton candy.

The only thing I would add to game performance is that Kaleb can get position on anyone and has great hands and nice footwork, but still has issues finishing over people and through double teams and Young had a little trouble with it in this game as well. Morgan was pretty physical in the post, but nothing that you won't see in your average B1G game.

Overall though, we are a difficult team to prepare for because everyone seems to have confidence on the offensive end.

After the game were you the photographer that was booking it down the field from the north endzone to the 50 yard line? My friend was like "Look at that guy go!" and I saw a photographer with a ponytail and thought "Damn is that HAYN? He's got some wheels!

What have YOU done to beat Xichigan today?

BB73
I stayed up all night and watched 5 previous versions of The Game, then made sure I put on scarlet underwear and black (not blue) jeans before kickoff. I also spent time outside facing west and blowing as hard as I could to keep the bad weather away until late in The Game. I'm exhausted because, as we all know, TSUN sucks hard, so it was tough to slow that system down.

You're all welcome.

Students and researchers use the unique space to explore problems facing Lake Erie, its wildlife and the region in order to better preserve and protect the vital ecosystem.
