Tracing its roots back to the outlaw Cannonball race across
America back in the early seventies, today's Cannonball One Lap of America
is a week-long, twenty-four hours a day driving event with competition
taking place as time trials on race tracks throughout the country.
Thinking of trying the Cannonball
One Lap of America yourself?
Brock Yates Jr., organizer of the event, gives some sage advice for
rookies. Interviewer Garth is not at his sartorial best. :-)
It's the zaniest amateur motor sport event you'll ever see! Wild cars and
people willing to drive for ten hours overnight to get to the next day's track
to compete for points for eight days in a row! No prizes other than the recognition
of your peers. No fame. No fortune. Why do they do it? Why not!?! Watch the
cars, see the people, and enjoy the fun.
