The Pedal-to-the-Metal, Totally Illegal, Cross-Country Sprint for Glory
http://www.wired.com/cars/coolwheels/magazine/15-11/ff_cannonballrun
Roy is attempting to break a legendary cross-country driving record known to most people as the Cannonball Run. The time: 32 hours, 7 minutes, set in 1983 by David Diem and Doug Turner. Captain Roy's quest is definitely illegal and quite possibly impossible. He is one of the few drivers wealthy and geeky and foolish enough to try it anyway. So far he's tried and failed twice, but he's still convinced that his careful calculations will allow him to beat the record.
