Cannonball Run!!! I wanna do that, how bout you?

Ok, first off, i had a small discussion about this earlier today, adn since then I couldnt get it out of my mind. If anybody knows racing, illegal racing, or hell even Burt Reynolds, you'll of heard about the race called cannonball. Cannonballs name was originated by Erwin George "Cannonball" Baker, who did distance races from one point to another, and made many records. In the 70's Brock Yates started what would become the greatest non-sanctioned racig event in the world to this day. Anywho, I want to do a Cannonball run. Whats a Cannonball run? its a race between NEw york to California in the shortest amount of time. the person wiht teh quickest time wins. I know it sounds bizzare, but its actually not the long of a race. How long you ask? the shortest recorded time was 32:51....thats under a Day and a half!!! Ok, could this happen, theres no such thing as impossible, could this ever get put together....yeah, but probably not. I just wanna do it, It doesnt need 50 cars to do it, at least 7-18 would be fine lol. But in all seriousness, who hear says that it is an awsome idea, and be realistic too, dont just say Id do it in a heartbeat, but for me, im ready to do it, you just gotta say, screw it, theres some things in life I wanna do ,adn can do, and this is a can do if it got put together. so whos wiht me here, who would be cool to do that run, not this year, maybe next year when we got more members, and are a more refined club I guess you can say. Oh and if you wanna find more out about this, read the book "Cannonball!, Worlds greatest outlaw race, or wath cannonball run and cannonball run 2, or my personnal favorite, Gumball Rally ( which was bitterly criticized by Brock Yates when it was made, to this day he refuses to see the movie!!)
