This first book of its kind tells the behind the scenes story of the incredibly illegal Cannonball rally. In the early 1970s, Brock Yates, senior editor of Car and Driver Magazine, created the now infamous Cannonball Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash a flat out, no holds barred race from New York City to Redondo Beach, California. Setting out to prove that well trained drivers could safely navigate the American highways at speeds in excess of the posted limits, Mr. Yates created a spectacle reminiscent of the glory days of the barnstorming pilots. Filled with fascinating unpublished stories, nostalgic and modern day photographs, inside information and hilarious stories from this outrageous and incredibly immoral rally. Brock is one of the best known, most respected automotive journalists in the world today. Hardcover, 6x 9, 256 pages, 25 color and 50 bw
