A new record, amidst the quarantine. I wonder what the average speed was? I hadn’t realized that it ended at the Portofino. That’s just two or three miles from our house.

The current record holders are unknown, travelling from the Redball Garage on the east side of Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, a total of 2,825.3 miles (4,546.9 km) in 26 hours 38 minutes in April 2020. The team averaged 106 miles per hour (171 km/h).
I’d like to see the data from the car’s computer.
Gotta love that R&T article’s quote from Ed Bolian, an earlier Cannonball Run record holder: “Do I think this is the best use of time while the country is staying in during a pandemic? Probably not, but for me to say it’s awful is like a cocaine dealer saying a heroin dealer is awful.”
