Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash
Encyclopedia
The Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, widely known simply as the Cannonball Baker or Cannonball Run, was an unofficial, if not outlaw, automobile
race
run four times in the 1970s from New York City
and Darien, CT
, on the US Atlantic (east) coast
, to Redondo Beach
, a Los Angeles
suburb on the Pacific (west) coast
. Conceived by car magazine writer and auto racer Brock Yates
and fellow Car and Driver
editor Steve Smith in 1971, the run was not a real competitive race with high risks, but intended both as a celebration of the United States
Interstate Highway System
and a protest against strict traffic laws
coming into effect at the time.
As it was found out, the newly imposed 55 mi/h speed limit imposed by the National Maximum Speed Law
(imposed as an energy conservation measure) was actually slower than the quickest average speeds of point-to-point travels of Erwin George "Cannon Ball" Baker
in the first half of the 20th century. In 1933, Baker drove coast to coast in a Graham-Paige model 57 Blue Streak 8
, averaging greater than 50 mi/h, setting a 53 hour 30 minute record that stood for nearly 40 years. If this could be done by a single man driving on bad roads and through villages, a team of two or more experienced (and even professional race) drivers, driving a modern car on safer and wider intersection-free highways that bypass towns, should be able to do it quicker without taking unacceptable risks apart from getting a speeding ticket, by cruising at 90 to 100 mi/h.
Another motivation was the fun involved, which showed in the tongue-in-cheek reports in Car and Driver
and other auto publications worldwide.
The initial cross-country run was accomplished by Yates's son Brock Jr., Smith, and friend Jim Williams beginning on May 3, 1971. The first running was done in a 1971 Dodge
Custom Sportsman van, called the "Moon Trash II". The race was run four more times, on November 15, 1971; November 13, 1972; April 23, 1975; and April 1, 1979. The most remarkable effort certainly was by American racing legend Dan Gurney
(winner of the 1967 24 hours of Le Mans
), who won the second run in a Ferrari Daytona
. Dan himself put it best, saying: "At no time did we exceed 175 mph." With Brock Yates as co-driver, it took them 35 hours and 54 minutes to travel 2863 miles (4,607.5 km) at an average of approximately 80 mi/h, while collecting one fine. Snow in the Rockies
slowed them down considerably. The record for official Cannonballs is 32 hours and 51 minutes (about 87 mph), set in the final run by Dave Heinz and Dave Yarborough in a Jaguar XJS
in April 1979.
After the original Cannonball races were halted, Car and Driver began to sponsor a legitimate closed-course tour, the One Lap of America
. Outlaw successors in the United States, Europe, and Australia continue to use the Cannonball name without Yates' approval.
, later a venue in Darien, CT, (the now defunct Lock, Stock, and Barrel restaurant) usually after midnight, and drive to the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach, California
in the shortest time possible. Those were the only rules. Nothing was specified as to the route, type of vehicle, or maximum speed permitted. (There was a gentlemen's agreement
that the vehicle entered would be driven the entire distance - no having it transported on another vehicle, nor having an identical second vehicle stashed away, etc.) Speeding citations received along the way were the driver's responsibility and did not disqualify the vehicle (although having to stop to receive a ticket increased the vehicle's overall time).
The Cannonball Run was technically a race in that the fastest time was declared the "winner" and the results were announced in order of time, but times were not taken very seriously. And it was found that sheer speed frequently did not guarantee a first place finish.
film Two-Lane Blacktop
. A similar film, Vanishing Point, was released in theaters a few months before the first Cannonball.
The Cannonball runs gained notoriety after the 1972 run, but it was Time Magazine's May 5, 1975 story on the race that solidified it in the public consciousness. To the surprise of many, the hilarious reports in Car and Driver
were warmly received by the press and the public alike, rather than being condemned for being reckless.
Reportedly, the worst "accident" that occurred in all of the Cannonball runs was spilled lasagna aboard a motor home which made the trip in 57 hours, as Car and Driver
Magazine detailed the November 1971 running in their March 1972 issue. That article was reprinted in its entirety in 2005, being chosen to represent the decade of the 1970s in the magazine's 50th anniversary series of article reprints.
However, in his memoir book about the races (see References, below), Yates reports that in the 1972 event, an all-female team consisting of Peggy Niemcek, Judy Stropus, and SCCA racer Donna Mae Mims
("The Pink Lady") suffered a crash near El Paso, Texas, resulting in a DNF (Did Not Finish.) The book contains a first-hand account by Mims, stating that their Cadillac stretched limousine veered off the road and rolled over after the driver fell asleep at the wheel. Although the car was totalled and Mims suffered a broken arm, no other vehicles were involved in the crash, and this was the only serious accident in all the Cannonball races.
Yates began working on a screenplay, originally to be titled "Coast to Coast", but was scooped by two unofficial films in 1976, Cannonball and The Gumball Rally
. Eventually, an "official" Cannonball Run movie was made — Cannonball Run — starring Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise with Yates in a cameo appearance. Two sequels, Cannonball Run II
and Speed Zone!
, followed. A later USA Network
television program, Cannonball Run 2001
, was given official approval to use the name.
In 1981 the US Express ran from Long Island, New York to Emeryville, California
(bordering Oakland, California
at the east end of the Bay Bridge). Interstate 80 was largely the route of choice. The winning team in 1981 were the first time Express team of David Morse and Steve Clausman driving David’s gray Porsche 928. One unique road hazard experienced in the 1981 run was an early snowfall closing the Donner Pass for several hours to vehicles without chains just as the US Express cars were approaching. The Porsche 928 carried special plastic chains and was able to proceed while others had to wait for the pass to open. The team of David Morse and Steve Clausman competed the next 2 years. In 1982 (also to Emeryville) where they survived after several memorable police stops and the final US Express run in 1983 to Newport Beach where they placed “2nd” in what some consider a controversial finish.
gained publicity in the early 2000s as a similar event, sometimes held on coast-to-coast American routes, but paced over several times as long and with no time-based winner. As reported in the New York Times on October 17, 2007, the current unofficial record is 31 hours and 4 minutes, set by Alexander Roy and David Maher in 2006.
The 2008 documentary 32 Hours 7 Minutes documents the 1983 and 2006 record-setting runs.

US Express
After the last Cannonball, Rick Doherty, a veteran of the 1979 and 1975 races, organized a successor, the U.S. Express. Doherty won the first U.S. Express with co-driver and famous game designer, Will Wright, at the wheel of a Mazda RX-7. Their time was 33 hours, 9 minutes. The U.S. Express ran to the Beach in Santa Monica, making it longer than the Cannonball. Despite the increased length, the fastest time recorded was 32 hours 7 minutes, in the 1983 race, 44 minutes faster than the fastest Cannonball, and the "official" cross-country record until it was broken in 2006. 1983 was the last year of the U.S. Express.In 1981 the US Express ran from Long Island, New York to Emeryville, California

Legacy
More than thirty years after the last official Cannonball, the issues raised, and the possibility of a full or partial revival, are still of interest to some motorists. Yates, in his book, recalled declining offers ever since the last race to revive the concept, and gave a number of reasons it was unworkable, including increased police activity, increased legal liabilities on the part of any organizer, increased year-round traffic and expanding urban areas – as well as warning of the obvious dangers of a race on public roads.
