There is a bit of balance though. The odds that you are going to be going "go to jail" MPH if you get busted is higher now due to the open roads and as people push the time down this only increases. I hope no one gets arrested trying to break the record but there is no denying that the speeds involved are making that possibility go up.

[@hungrymoose7627]

I'm a long haul trucker, I'm out on the interstates every week. To be fair, I'm not a coast to coast driver, I'm almost exclusively west coast Canada/US, particularily Calgary to LA. But to give my 2 cents, I don't think doing a cannonball record right now is THAT big of an advantage. Yes the major cities are flowing a lot better, but the highways and byways are at roughly the same volume as pre-virus and the police presence is the same if not more. It used to be I was calling out speed traps on the CB a couple times a day, now its more like once every hour or two. And truck traffic hasn't slowed down at all, and we're all acting like we own the road now. I for one have been a lot more liberal with my long passes since its mostly other trucks out here. States like Nevada, Idaho and Montana feel the same as before, and SoCal is still very busy.

[@SmEiF-]

Hungry Moose same on the east man, I aint a trucker anymore thanks epilepsy but I got a cb and lots of buddies still driving, we discussed this also. Its normal everywhere but big cities and some places has even picked up in traffic. I always thought a trucker could do this better than any of these 4 wheeler drivers, I wish I had the extra time and money id do it for fun omce before I die, ive made longer trips working before so we have been trained for long drives zero stops lol

[@QuinnBoone]

I agree! If anyone could do it, should be an otr trucker....more experience than anyone....

There's no rules to this, it's just getting from point A to be B, in the fairest way possible. They took advantage of the opportunity and did it, the probabilities were at their favour.

This was the best time to do it. Local cops and sheriff deputies have been busy doing community outreach. Our department cut traffic enforcement by almost 80%. Highway Patrol didn't seem to be patrolling nearly as much, either. Plus, using spotter planes had to be easier as well given flight traffic was non-existent. Gas was cheap to boot. If we ever get tuning capabilities for the truck, it's getting a Magnuson blower and a bed-mounted fuel cell for a cross country attempt. I already have the dashcams, gopros, good radar detector, cheaper radar detector, cb, radar jammer, and taillight kill switch setup. Just need the fuel cell and pump, way more power for top end LS truck awesomeness, and some much better wheels and tires. Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac A/Ts on 18" polished rims aren't ideal. Maybe some thigh profile summer truck tires on 17-18" steelies for the durability over endless potholes. Or maybe I'll wait til I buy the new Defender 90 with steelies.

@@JB0143RP If you thought US highways had a lot of variables, you're in for an awakening with the highway that spans Canada lol

I love that Cannonball is still alive. My favorite childhood movie is still important.

This is like when the NBA shortened the three point line for a couple of seasons.

Talk about the perfect time to do this with the least traffic since the 70's

[@GradyHouger]

Everyone runs a four minute mile with winds of change like this!

[@CryoCustoms]

Ed is the king of smooth ad transitions

[@daves984]

There has to be an asterisk next to the time. Theres no one on the road.

[@yellowdoghnut45]

dave S why? Theres no rules in cannonball

[@philipface30]

About 2 min into the video I said to myself "gotta find where to buy some cannonball stuff"… thanks Ed for providing that option!

[@JulianRodriguez-le7qq]

Someone outside of Eds' friend group breaks the record: The record doesn't count. One of Eds' friends breaks the record: Record counts they are the new record and they are definitely a crazy mark to beat Let me know if y'all agree!

Almost a month ago I twitted Vin, RRR and Gumball. There is no better time than a coast to coast run than right now. It was a no brainer.

[@ShaneOMalle]

gonna say 25:47 @108

[@4rcowboy]

Less traffic, so a speeding car stands out more. People think cops just stopped running radar.

[@dzelpwr]

I'm curious to hear all 7 of these runs' results, especially the diesel one. Don't need names or even images, just curious what the times were and cars used for each.

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

Ed,I feel weird saying this.....but I think I love you!!!! ........ Actually I don't think it's that weird.......& I have an all new respect for you and your words. GOOD SHOW! BRAVO! I HOPE TO MEET YOU SOMETIME, AND I'M GETTIN ONE OF THOSE SHIRTS!!!!! Stay safe,healthy and HAVE A GREAT DAY. 🚓🚑💣💥💨 (✌You just made my week!!!!👍)

[@andypolk3585]

Skeeter McSwagger I love this post.... feal the same🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SuperSportMTL]

Ed, I’d like to point out that you deserve some credit in each of the two recent records for throwing the idea out there that it may or may not be the best time to break a record with less people/police on the road enforcing speeding due to Covid 19. I hope you get the shout out you deserve !

[@TempleofAmon666]

I am guessing Alex Roy

[@Nathan_Adams]

Has been quiet on Instagram, he does have a lot of friends across the country and it is suspicious that he mentioned 2 of the three notorious record holders of recent years. I have also seen Maher popping up again recently....

[@RCTitan33]

I came here looking for this, that would be my guess

[@daveangelew]

That would be incredible. Does he still have the motivation to do it though?

[@TempleofAmon666]

I wouldn’t discount Ed either. Remember all he said was his cars never left Atlanta. Unlikely but it was interesting on how he put it.

[@TempleofAmon666]

Well alex posted on his twitter, “if it was me I certainly wouldn’t tell you”.

3 days after 9/11 2001 I was driving back from Denver to my home in South Texas. I knew that Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas were very fond of their "Speed Enforcement" planes. If you remember, the whole US was grounded. No planes for like a month if I remember correctly. Well I was in my 1983 RX-7 with almost all of my worldy posessions (small car). I was driving a good clip out of Colorado until a line of Mustangs and other "sport type cars" passed going MUCH faster. So I pulled in line behind them and set my cruise control at 120mph and we cruised that way for about 2 hrs. I had no radar detectors nor any other type of help. So I let them be my eyes. Well at the end of the 2 hours, they all pulled off to a certain truck stop ( I guess for gas, I was getting 24mpg and had just topped off shortly before seeing them). We waved to each other and I slowed down about 35mph and continued on my trip. I didnt find any others to cruise with so I only drove about 15 to 20Mph over the speed limit with no issues for the rest of my trip.
