AMEN Odie... as it was a BROCK YATES DOCUMENTARY
... I have the BOOK somewhere... what a read!
It was originally call the "Cannonball, Sea to Shining Sea, Memorial Trophy Dash" and kinda sponsored by Motor Trend Magazine. They useta even feature their own entry...
One year it was a Dodge Challenger with CB radios, pit crews dispursed across the US, tons of cash for tickets, a huge crew to swap drivers, and extra gas large gas tank, and on and on.
I believe a bone stock Cadillac took the trophy that year... and there was one other Cad in PINK with five women aboard... which I understood was detained in one of the southern states indefinately.
Crazy stuff... its now called the Interstate Battery One Lap of America... and just a pure points rally.
