29 hours from NY to LA is insane! A couple of years ago a book came out called the 'The Driver' that detailed the underground scene of Cannonball 'racing' (actually called Gumball). Its a great read for those of us that hate to read anything but magazines. In that book, they made the run in a little over 31 hours which shattered the record at the time set back in 1983. That was 2006.
One side of me thinks its stupid and crazy but given that most of have ridden as recklessly at one point or another its hard to argue. After reading the book, the other side of me thinks that their level of preparation and skill is to be admired. If nothing else its interesting.
For those of you needing a read over the winter: http://www.amazon.com/The-Driver-Dan.../dp/0061374997
