Cannonball Run record is broken SEVEN times over five weeks after illegal racers took to the empty streets during coronavirus lockdown to drive from NYC to LA in under 26 hours

• New record holders, who were not named, completed 2,800-mile road journey in under 26 hours
• Previous record was set in April at 26 hours and 38 minutes
• Stay-at-home orders and social distancing have emptied roads nationwide, prompting more to take on the challenge
• Some Cannonball fans have said doing a Cannonball Run during the COVID-19 trial is irresponsible and should not count against pre-pandemic record

The Cannonball Run record has been broken seven times over a five-week period after illegal road racers took to the empty streets during coronavirus lockdown to drive from New York City to Los Angeles.

The newest record holders, who have not been named, completed the 2,800-mile cross-country journey in less than 26 hours, beating last month's record of 26 hours and 38 minutes.

Not much is known about the latest champions, including the car they drove or the actual time, but the team reportedly averaged a speed of 120mph, according to 2013 record breaker Ed Boilan.

They should do a race that goes from the Washington/Canadian border, down to the Mexican Border, over to Florida, back up to Maine, and then back over to the starting point.

Seems like a more responsible time to do the run if anything.

I drove from Florida to Nebraska Fri-Sat and the roads were clearer than I've ever seen them. We made great time and we were driving a gutless Ford Ranger.

I once drove from Northern Alabama to Panama City Florida and then up to Oregon and then back the same route in 7 days with my father in a battleship huge Ford Mercury never straying far from 55 mph. We even hit a snow storm in Northern California and up through Weed to Lakeview, Oregon and then up to Portland.
