If you plan on running hopefully you've already signed up as the entry list is full...This thing is bat **** crazy but interesting nonetheless.

Only $50 grand??? That's a far cry from the $1 million The Sheik paid out last time.

Interesting, last week it was called the Cannonball Run and there was an ugly girl pictured in front of that Vette. This Colonel Wilson is intriguing though.

I'm pretty sure Brock Yates still owns the rights to "Cannonball Run"

Hey, I want to post online that I plan to commit misdemeanors and violations, under the guidance of a guy who's legal defense is "you don't exist in Amerika".

So I can drive *anything* I want? No limits?

In that case, my entry will be a coach seat on a Delta 767 flying from LGA -> LAX. No potential legal issues, and I should go door to door in under 12 hours (even with traffic). I doubt anything on the ground can match that.

When can I collect my prize money?

That might slide if you're the one flying the plane...

I'm selling the Corvette I won in the Robin Hood Rally for my entry fee.

Oh wait....

The website says "Each entry may have multiple people on their team to ride, drive, navigate or any other helpful purpose. "

I think that means I can include the pilots to my team, right?
