ForceofWill Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 This wasn't an official cannonball? I thought Richard Rawlings and his friend held the current record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etalian Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Awesome. If you haven't read Alex Roy's book on the previous record, I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted November 1, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted November 1, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
