Anyone else see this? Thoughts? Any rumors? I'm interested, this is all blowing my mind that times like these are possible. I'll be watching closely to see what comes out in the next couple days.

Update: April Fools, I'm disappointed.

Well, the short article says that there are three men sitting around watching a video, and they are all wearing pants. So we know that Doug DeMuro was not involved. That is all we know for sure at this point. It's hard to believe that someone can get away with a Cannonball record attempt with all the modern technology and communications improvements since the 1970s.

Have you followed it? i.e. US Express, Alex Roy, Richard Rawlings, Ed Bolian, etc? People are still doing it, and FAST. Just not as a big group head to head, that we know of.

No, I had heard about Alex Roy's effort not long ago, but not this. Richard "Gas Monkey" Rawlings—in what? I can't imagine, looking up his 2007 run it was a Ferrari 550 and more recently, he said he'd run a "Dodge" in an interview. Perhaps a Viper? That would fit him perfectly. Also couldn't imagine riding co-pilot with him and hearing "whooo!" for 3,000 miles.

Perfect car for this ... Volvo V60 Polestar in black or grey Audi S7.

The Polestar is turbo right? I don't think turbo cars would get good enough mileage at speeds required if serious about the record. Would be a blast though. The new diesel A8's are what I would like to try it with.
