Awesome read. We drove from kc to south padre. Lil over 17 hours. The trip navigator said I averaged 80. That is with gas stops. I was flying. Hit every city perfectly with no slowdown.

The Gumball Rally in the '76 was a GREAT movie! Must have rode my bike 50 times to watch it that summer - every day before the pool. LOL!

Looks like Richard Rawlings has another car to buy for his Cannonball collection.

I thought on the show he said he and Dennis held the current record from 2007?

They did I think this broke it.

The mark? Alex Roy and David Maher's cross-country record of 31 hours and 4 minutes, which they set in a modified BMW M5 in 2006.

Doesn't match this-

I forgot to mention that I was on a bicycle, assholes.

My longest nonstop drive was Newport, RI to Fenton, MO. 1,030 miles according to the mileage calculator, in 17 hours, alone, back before they started raising speed limits over 55. That sucked, too.

Mine was Tucson, AZ to Pierre, SD in about 20 hours. There is nothing worse than driving that long and having the end of your trip be when the sun is coming up. It ****s with your head.

I started getting tired around sunset in western Pennsylvania. Washed down a box of NoDoz with a Mountain Dew and kept going. I was pretty twitchy by the time I got to Illinois, but made it unscathed. Got to my aunt's house around 5:30 a.m., slept for about 3 hours, and then was wide awake for the rest of the day.

Ah, to be young again.
