Beemer Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 ...and I get pinged for 6 over going for milk. How is this possible?
ForceofWill Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 This wasn't an official cannonball? I thought Richard Rawlings and his friend held the current record
etalian Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Awesome. If you haven't read Alex Roy's book on the previous record, I highly recommend it.
Diggerdan11 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 ...and I get pinged for 6 over going for milk. How is this possible? yeah no kidding. I got pulled over in texas for going 71 in a 70
mc2hill Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Dang, I thought this was Scott's thread reporting back on his trip to pick up his Porsche!
LFairbanks Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Thats Crazy. The bad thing is now someone is going to try and beat that record. Eventually the luck jar runs out as far as escaping a ticket or accident. Ran into a freight guy one time that he and a buddy for extra cash in the days of hand written log books would drive from Utah to Tennessee and back pulling a set of doubles. They would leave on Friday night and make it back home in time for work on Monday morning.
blcksilv08 Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 That's insane and crazy they never got stopped or stuck in traffic
Marylander Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Congratulations to him. Now throw his *** in jail.
LFairbanks Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Congratulations to him. Now throw his *** in jail. Remember a just a short time ago, some young guy posted a youtube video of him racing around New York, I believe. Anyhow the police used that as evidence and arrested him…lol Marylander 1
