Cannon Ball Record data released
So I don't know how many are familiar with this story about a man named Ed Bolian who with 2 other people set the "official" cross country US record of 28h50min with an average speed of 98mph+... yes those aren't typo's
Thing is, he set this record back in 2013 but couldn't release the information due to quite obvious legalities that it would entail. Well a year+ has passed so now the gig is up. Let me put it this way..... your quite literally going to turn in your sleep after reading the data logs,   Definitely a phenomenal read for ANY genuine gear-head Article: http://jalopnik.com/meet-the-guy-who...8-h-1454092837 "De-classified" Data Log: http://wesg.ca/pages/route/

I really don't see anyone beating that record unless they genuinely don't care about going to jail, and simply disregard any and all safety morals
