Cannonball record broken again

[Allgonquin]

Shaved about 45 minutes or so off the previous record. But this one must have an asterisk in the record books, having been done during COVID-19 influenced lower traffic. Say what you will about the ethics of such a venture during "these trying times" but these runs are simply amazing in my book.

A Team Exploited the Coronavirus Pandemic to Set a 26-Hour 38-Minute Cross-Country Record

Cannonball purists are criticizing the run as grossly irresponsible while the nation deals with an emergency of unseen magnitude.

I think it's awesome that such mischievousness is still part of American culture. Let's hope moral police will never become NKVD-powerful

2811 miles in 26 hours 38 minutes. Nuts.

Average speed, not to mention top speed has been huge (outside land of autobahn ).

I know local case where police has knocked your door afterwards thanks to videos loaded in net where overspeed and reckless driving where able to prove. What is the case in USA? It's possible to use information like the attached web to accuse?

We're not sophisticated in the US with speed cameras, and I don't think we every will be given the hurdles that would need to be overcome for something like that - federal roads versus state roads and too many lawyers in this country that would fight it.
