Fun fact for my fellow Americans the current Cannonball Run (New York City to Long Beach, Ca) record is 25 hours 39 minutes at an average rate of 110 mph.

So you can cross the country in just over a day provided you drive like a bat out of hell.

That's been banned now, right?

It's basically always been illegal due to speed limits, but the record above was set in 2021.

Yeah, quite a few attempts made during the pandemic is what I heard

It's always been illegal.

There is still a sign at the Portofino hotel in LA with the current record and it is definitely up to date.

It's always been banned. Just like pot.
