Cannonball Run Record: Establishment Of Cannonball Run

The Cannonball Run is an unsanctioned speed record, typically accepted to run from New York City's Red Ball Garage to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach near Los Angeles, a distance of about 2,800 miles (4,500 km).



Speed, horsepower, anti-police countermeasures, and an epic pursuit of a childhood dream collide on a literal and figurative drive that leads a man to spend every available dollar chasing a record. The author’s memoir recounts his path from a conversation in high school with Cannonball Run founder, Brock Yates to setting the fastest time ever for driving from New York to Los Angeles. The journey explores goal setting, criminal psychology, and spirituality in the pursuit of finding your true purpose and using what makes you unique to achieve something extraordinary.
