Cannonball run across country in 29 hours!

[Pappy!]

In a Mercedes!
The other post (Titanium Butt Run) reminded me of this and didn't want to hi-jack that thread.

Kind of surprised that law enforcement that has heard of this hasn't arrested or at least issued several citations

At one time Richard Rawlins of Gas Monkey ( may have been with his friend Dennis in a Jaguar I think ) held this record of 31 hr 59min.

Many moons ago I read Wilt Chamberlin's autobiography.  For fun on his summer's off he would take his Bentley and go across the US before this Cannonball Run ever started.  He would be by himself and it was for his own fun.  I seem to remember is best time was in the 33 -34 hour mark.  I am not sure if he enjoyed this record the most or the 20,000 women he claimed to have bedded.

Personally, anything not documented by witnesses about Wilt Chamberlain is pretty dubious.   
Putting it clearly, I have my doubts.

I once did the math on the 20k women and found it came to like 3 per day and thought no way in heck.  Anyway it was widely know by sports writers and other players in the league that Wilt had his way with the woman back then.  He was a novelty for them.
