Introduction
Description
For the first time in paperback! Cannonball! Tells the real story of the legendary Cannonball Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, from the perspectives of its creator and dozens of participants.
The Cannonball, a flat-out high-speed road race across the United States, was an orgy of fast cars piloted by the best drivers of the day, and an affront to law enforcement and all things good and decent.
The Cannonball road races spawned several films including the infamous Cannonball Run, frustrated politicians, and rocked the world of motorsports through the 1970s.
For the first time, author Brock Yates, with the help of various Cannonball participants and a selection of never-before-seen photography, tells the story of the wild vehicles, the wilder drivers, and the various “incidents” along the road from New York City to Redondo Beach, California.
