And all this time I thought Cannonball Run was just a movie. Evidently, the old land speed record across the use was something like 32 hours and 7 minutes set in 1983. To cover 2795 miles means they averaged 87 miles an hour. This guy took breaking that record to extremes!

Another one was ditched because he wasn’t from the US and so didn’t have that natural ability all of the speed demons here do of just “knowing” that’s a cop or where they hide.
