CANNONBALL RELATED
(Most people think it was just a cheesy movie. It was a few cheesy movies. But stuff in those cheesy movies, some of the craziest stuff, actually happened in the real - yes, real - Cannonball Runs. Plural. Hush-hush coast-to-coast races. It’s been happening since the early 1970s as we know it, but way back as long as there have been capable vehicles and balls of steel. From THE Cannonball Baker to the Cannonball Baker Sea To Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dashes, then several others, and lots of individual attempts. Quite a story.)
