Although I understand that at those speed, signaling lane change isn’t really relevant as no one is passing them. That could prevent other driver to be even more mad at them and call the police.

diabloein I see what you mean and that makes sense indeed. Good suggestion. My Volvo used to trigger the lane departure warning signal when I was veering toward the line but not even yet crossing it. I am not very familiar with a system with steering assist.
@@NotaRandomYTuser i used to drive a sprinter van for fedex that had lane assist and it was annoying. It would fight me and vibrate the wheel when driving down country roads/dirt roads because the road didnt have clear painted lines so the system would go haywire. And even on the highway it would act up if i even came close to a line at 65. I couldnt imagine what doing 150 would do to the thing because no way you can stay perfectly centered then.
There are stories of guys who actually signal while on a track. I always say that if you are making judgements as to whether you should signal, then you should probably signal. It’s like frequent rear view checks. Funny how those two things are often the cause of major incidents.
Firing blinkers all the time is a) a good way cops find targets and b) not required except where a turn or merge is likely to affect traffic (at least according to CA and AZ vehicle codes). I call drivers who blinker blindly "blinker-heads" who learned DMV and not the law.

What a nice opportunity to do a run. Empty roads!! My memory of our run in ‘79 is in stark contrast to this run. And the speeds of the cars!! OMG, being there’s been a good march of progress since our time (like speed ratings on tires). 34:08. 4th.
I honestly think these records are no longer impressive at all and need to stop before one of these morons gets killed in a fireball explosion when they crash that stupid car loaded with tanks of gasoline flying down the highway at 150mph. This is **not even hard to do** , and it's not even that hard to get away with. You just have to be rich, have a giant ego, and have a certain lack of empathy for others around you, which I despise. Sorry to be negative but every cannonball guy I've ever seen is the definition of a spoiled, white privelaged, absolute beta male, who thinks bragging about getting away with committing felonies somehow makes you cool. They're wasting the time of law enforcement and putting everyone in danger, all for what, so they can go drink craft beer with their other rich friends and brag to eachother about it? The biggest reason why I don't respect these records whatsoever....THEY'RE NOT RUNNING FROM ANYTHING!! NOBODY IS TRYING TO CATCH YOU!! This is just simply not that hard to do, the **only risks** are getting caught committing a felony while doing it, and of course, death, because you're driving a literal gasoline bomb down the road at 150. Getting away with committing felonies, then bragging about it on the internet, doesn't make you cool it makes you very very dumb. That's what these guys are doing, they're just waving it in everyones face saying "I CAN GET AWAY WITH BREAKING THE LAW BECAUSE I'M SO SMART AND COOL." it has **nothing to do with cars** , it had everything to do with these guys EGOS THIS IS NOT HARD TO DO. WE NEED TO STOP PROMOTING THESE GUYS BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED. IT'S NOT ABOUT CARS IT'S ABOUT THEIR FRAGILE LITTLE EGO. I'm sure Doug Tabbut will say "oh look another pearl clutcher", and that's the thing, anyone who calls him out on his BS, he just has the atttitude, of "Well I guess you guys just aren't as cool as me." What they're doing isn't hard to do, it's not impressive, it's complete beta male BS. I'm not impressed that you strapped a bunch of extra gas tanks to an Audi and went flying across the country using spotters during a global pandemic where you know law enforcement has MUCH BETTER THINGS TO DO, than deal with you guys, I think you need to stop this whole escapade and stick to producing content about CARS instead of producing content about your rich friends who do beta male things in their spare time. I seriously hope the next person who attempts this record gets caught and thrown in jail. I stopped watching your channel because it's not about CARS, it's about a bunch of losers who think they're cool trying to impress people with old stories they've told at parties a billion times before. But no matter where I go on car forums, this dumb stuff about you guys strapping gas tanks into a trunk and going 175 on public roads keeps popping up. The only people who respect this record are little ignorant teenagers. No wonder why half these guys are divorced LMAO.

It’s never going to happen again. This run and all the previous runs this year are not counted towards real cannon ball runs. When traffic gets back to normal I’m sure they’re going to try beating the old record.
"...with an overall speed of 110mph across the whole country..." **law enforcement officers in every state simultaneously look at each other through the zoom call**
I think they were referring to the only ones they passed at that speed, were people they were in contact with, that knew they were passing them, that fast. 🤷🏻♂️
Its amazing how his tune has changed now that he got the record back. Remember him raging about how it was unethical and wrong and his record shouldn't stand.
@@sarangtambe3585 there was like 5 of them that were throwing a fit about it and he was one of them. it all came down to it wasnt one of the guys from there club and a guy embarrassed them with no spotters no help just a rental car and some extra fuel tanks
So... from "I wouldn't try a run during COVID, any record set during a pandemic would have an asterisk, I don't think its the same record" yadayadayada to "yeah, everyone tried it and here's our records". Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it. It's an awesome achievement for sure. I don't blame a single person for wanting to go out there in a possibly once in a lifetime environment. I just find the hypocrisy from commentators in the community back in March compared to now a little hilarious.
I have to say, I have tons and tons of respect and admiration for Arne and Company for not feeling the same way for this run, as they did for 27:25. They were presented with the motoring equivalent of Shangri La, and while they were excited, they still felt like they appreciated their first run that much more. I think that shows the true spirit of what the Cannonball Run really is, and I applaud them for that.
yeah i thougt the same :D i mean not everybody in germany got a car to go 160 mph but its no surprise when someone on the left lane zooms by with 180 mph :D
Yeah, but Germany is around 200 miles “wide” and 470 miles “tall”. The US route is over 2,500 miles. It’s more than 10 Germanys wide. I get what you’re saying (that 160 mph isn’t incredible for you) but we are also talking about being able to run at those speeds for longer periods than on the Autobahn.
God I miss my 92 SHO 5 speed, black on tan. What a comfortable and lovely innocuous car. That 3.0 Yamaha was so smooth, and who doesn’t love 7250 of redline?
I love the fact that that although they got the fastest time, they also acknowledge it was best case scenario and didnt have the impact of previous records.
You should read about the stampede. It’s a motorcycle race from the west coast to the east coast. The route changes every year and it has to be completed by yourself on a hardtail, solid motor mount bike with no hard bags. It’s crazy.
Thanks for a great video. I learned a lot and am really impressed with the planning and execution it took to cross the country at such bonkers speed. Can’t see myself ever doing such a thing but plenty of really useful information in my everyday life.
Lane departure warning systems ruin everything. It's great technology if you're not a great driver, otherwise it drives you mad and does more harm than good.
@@StorKejsaren No, but when they're cooking their log books and driving while barely conscious, they see taillights and stay behind them until they suddenly realize the car is parked.

Rental Mustang guy did it once by being completely careless. I think the biggest takeaway from his run is how lucky he is to still have a license. These guys do it properly and have completed many successful runs. Mustang guy would get caught very quickly running the way he does.
@@taylormay9938 what does that even mean "do it properly". There's a "proper" way of driving across the country at 110 mph? Just because they plan every inch of the drive doesn't make it any safer then a guy renting a mustang and going balls to the wall.
@@Minicprlvr ignore everything I said. My buddy told me the Mustang guy just took it and went as fast as possible the entire time without any countermeasures. I made the time to watch the full interview, and this is obviously completely false. Actually very impressive.
So now the records count? Ed and all of the guys sounded so salty about random people breaking their records non stop. Wait until someone goes and beats it this week. Lol
Yeah that’s the freaking point lmao. Alex was inspired to do his run. Alex inspired Ed. Ed inspired Doug and Arnie. This is a club that these gentlemen have spent a lot of time and effort to maintain the legacy of. I can understand them being upset by people “breaking” their records in these unforeseen conditions but do you think these guys are “salty” hahahah ok. Ed literally just said it didn’t feel right that’s it. Stop trying to play a narrative that’s not there
@@taylorheaps Ed didnt shine a light on the 7 others who broke the record. Not for this one new record its suddenly "175mph merch" that's autographed, this time is "unbeatable" He really does play favorites dude. Makes the Cannonball feel like its 5 dudes who do it.
@@RiotontheRadioMSCR I kind of agree. My read on all that is this. Ed is a "second generation" Cannonballer. He didn't originate the event, he's a fanboy. And now he's worked his way into the "club," received praise from those he idolized when he achieved a record, and is now territorial when someone not in the "club" beats "their" record. While it's interesting to hear the stories about how they do it, he needs to stop talking like he's the final arbiter over what a "legitimate" record is. He, nor anyone else "own" the cannonball record. The fact is there are no rules except to get from point A to point B in a car as fast as possible. Any caveats, asterisks or anything will always come off as sounding like sour grapes.
Back in the 80's we were college students and didn't have the resources for a real cannonball run, so we organized a mini-Cannonball from Annapolis Maryland to Niagara Falls. We got over 20 cars signed up, paid the entry fee and ran the race. It worked by each driver drawing the start positions out of a hat. Then each car was given their GO card at the exact time of their scheduled departure time spaced 5 minutes apart. There was a finishing crew on Goat Island between the two falls who collected the GO cards, wrote down the finish time and calculated each elapsed time. Our car was the Chrysler TC3 turbocharged Shelby. This was back in the day with no GPS so everyone had a second person to read actual paper maps. We switched drivers halfway when we filled up with gas. The lasting legacy is that two marriages were the direct result of this race. One couple met after the race was over in Niagara falls and the other couple paired up from the guy asking this girl if he could drive her car in a race. She said "yes" if she could go along. Today they have grown kids and a great story of how they got together.
@@broncogrizzI disagree. That isn't a cheat. Taking advantage of an environmental change you have no control over is not cheating. Gaming the GPS to alter the time, doing a relay style hand-off between cars on the trip or taking a plane part way would be a cheat.
I'd avoid using a Charger, for aerodynamics reasons. A police-spec Taurus would probably be better. It's kinda like the difference between the classic Charger 500 and the Charger Daytona. (I say this as the owner of a first-gen LX platform Charger, too.)
The FPIS would have a lot more room in the trunk than a Charger Pursuit. One thing that you'd have to keep in mind is that different places use different vehicles for LE. What might not get any attention drawn toward it in one state might also end up getting called in by someone in a different state because that person doesn't associate that vehicle with law enforcement because of no agencies around where they live using that particular vehicle. For California, a White Charger Pursuit (RWD) would be the best bet since it could easily be mistaken as one of the rarer CHP "polar bears" that only have markings on the side of the car.
With major legs of either route still in lockdown, it's tough to compare these to runs from pre-COVID, but they are impressive all the same. Congrats Doug and Arne on reclaiming your throne, wonder how long it'll stand this time around. Ed - maybe a video recapping the various records over the last few months: diesel, electric, etc, and the stories to go with them.
@@treycen2785 Come on! My commuter car in most of 2021, each way 52 km, was a 4.0 Boxster. Great fun, and probably quite a step or two better than an S6. I have a slightly modded 105 series Alfa Coupé now, not as fast but twice as funny to drive - not a single boring Nanny system, raw, direct, loud and honest. Commuting is a boring, time-shredding chore, so it should be done with the car that can give You the most fun on Your daily way to work, right? Commuting in an S6 would even enable You to drop the kids on the way, something a Boxster can only do with one kid at a time, pretty much like the 105 series Bertone, too. I have the very nice advantage to live and commute in Germany, which makes it less of a chore and more of an adrenaline shot, better than any coffee money could buy. A lot of balding branch managers and confidential clerks commute with an S6 and drop their kids on the way. So, if that does not make it a commuter car, I don't know what would.
Don't know if it's the passion these stories are told, or the great teamwork and involvement in this 'run', but it slowly brings tears to my eyes as I listen! Very inspirational!
If you really think about it, every record is beatable. It’s a matter of milliseconds, and nobody will ever have the perfect run - not a single car on the road, perfect gas ‘n goes, etc. shave of a few seconds here or there and you’ve mathematically beat the record.

What a nice opportunity to do a run. Empty roads!! My memory of our run in ‘79 is in stark contrast to this run. And the speeds of the cars!! OMG, being there’s been a good march of progress since our time (like speed ratings on tires). 34:08. 4th.

I honestly think these records are no longer impressive at all and need to stop before one of these morons gets killed in a fireball explosion when they crash that stupid car loaded with tanks of gasoline flying down the highway at 150mph. This is **not even hard to do** , and it's not even that hard to get away with. You just have to be rich, have a giant ego, and have a certain lack of empathy for others around you, which I despise.
Sorry to be negative but every cannonball guy I've ever seen is the definition of a spoiled, white privelaged, absolute beta male, who thinks bragging about getting away with committing felonies somehow makes you cool. They're wasting the time of law enforcement and putting everyone in danger, all for what, so they can go drink craft beer with their other rich friends and brag to eachother about it? The biggest reason why I don't respect these records whatsoever....THEY'RE NOT RUNNING FROM ANYTHING!! NOBODY IS TRYING TO CATCH YOU!!
This is just simply not that hard to do, the **only risks** are getting caught committing a felony while doing it, and of course, death, because you're driving a literal gasoline bomb down the road at 150. Getting away with committing felonies, then bragging about it on the internet, doesn't make you cool it makes you very very dumb. That's what these guys are doing, they're just waving it in everyones face saying "I CAN GET AWAY WITH BREAKING THE LAW BECAUSE I'M SO SMART AND COOL." it has **nothing to do with cars** , it had everything to do with these guys EGOS
THIS IS NOT HARD TO DO. WE NEED TO STOP PROMOTING THESE GUYS BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED. IT'S NOT ABOUT CARS IT'S ABOUT THEIR FRAGILE LITTLE EGO.
I'm sure Doug Tabbut will say "oh look another pearl clutcher", and that's the thing, anyone who calls him out on his BS, he just has the atttitude, of "Well I guess you guys just aren't as cool as me." What they're doing isn't hard to do, it's not impressive, it's complete beta male BS.
I'm not impressed that you strapped a bunch of extra gas tanks to an Audi and went flying across the country using spotters during a global pandemic where you know law enforcement has MUCH BETTER THINGS TO DO, than deal with you guys, I think you need to stop this whole escapade and stick to producing content about CARS instead of producing content about your rich friends who do beta male things in their spare time.
I seriously hope the next person who attempts this record gets caught and thrown in jail.
I stopped watching your channel because it's not about CARS, it's about a bunch of losers who think they're cool trying to impress people with old stories they've told at parties a billion times before. But no matter where I go on car forums, this dumb stuff about you guys strapping gas tanks into a trunk and going 175 on public roads keeps popping up.
The only people who respect this record are little ignorant teenagers.

@@yann9378 Plus the traffic in California slowed them down quite a bit too
Only theoretically. Traffic is getting back to normal, so anybody attempting doesn't have the same permissive environment.
It’s never going to happen again. This run and all the previous runs this year are not counted towards real cannon ball runs. When traffic gets back to normal I’m sure they’re going to try beating the old record.
They really said “ want key fob insurance starting only at $149” 💀
$179
If you have a valid key fob in a car older than 2 years, just get a blank keyfob and pair it with the car. Then just use the new one from there.

Someone needs to beat the record again and take it away from this clique of hypocrites
Alex Roy will always remain my favorite run. Equal parts planning, huge balls, and insanity.
So... from "I wouldn't try a run during COVID, any record set during a pandemic would have an asterisk, I don't think its the same record" yadayadayada to "yeah, everyone tried it and here's our records".
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it. It's an awesome achievement for sure. I don't blame a single person for wanting to go out there in a possibly once in a lifetime environment. I just find the hypocrisy from commentators in the community back in March compared to now a little hilarious.
That was before they realized people are too dumb for covid to end, gotta do something when ya get bored and did everything else.
I imagine cannonball is going to be a thing of the past when these records become untouchable in normal traffic again.. maybe that's a good thing tho.

I have to say, I have tons and tons of respect and admiration for Arne and Company for not feeling the same way for this run, as they did for 27:25.
They were presented with the motoring equivalent of Shangri La, and while they were excited, they still felt like they appreciated their first run that much more.
I think that shows the true spirit of what the Cannonball Run really is, and I applaud them for that.

**LAUGHS IN YODLE**
yeah i thougt the same :D i mean not everybody in germany got a car to go 160 mph but its no surprise when someone on the left lane zooms by with 180 mph :D
Yeah, but Germany is around 200 miles “wide” and 470 miles “tall”. The US route is over 2,500 miles. It’s more than 10 Germanys wide. I get what you’re saying (that 160 mph isn’t incredible for you) but we are also talking about being able to run at those speeds for longer periods than on the Autobahn.
@@alecgrosvenor without repercussions though?

It was an honor being a spotter for the team throughout the Eastern states. 10/10 would help again ANYTIME
How does one get in the know to help out with such a task? Serious inquiry. I’ve wanted to assist for years in some capacity and have working knowledge in many things highway related from prior LEO experience to emergency highway management plus extensive medical training.

@@RiotontheRadioMSCR I kind of agree. My read on all that is this. Ed is a "second generation" Cannonballer. He didn't originate the event, he's a fanboy. And now he's worked his way into the "club," received praise from those he idolized when he achieved a record, and is now territorial when someone not in the "club" beats "their" record. While it's interesting to hear the stories about how they do it, he needs to stop talking like he's the final arbiter over what a "legitimate" record is. He, nor anyone else "own" the cannonball record. The fact is there are no rules except to get from point A to point B in a car as fast as possible. Any caveats, asterisks or anything will always come off as sounding like sour grapes.

Back in the 80's we were college students and didn't have the resources for a real cannonball run, so we organized a mini-Cannonball from Annapolis Maryland to Niagara Falls. We got over 20 cars signed up, paid the entry fee and ran the race. It worked by each driver drawing the start positions out of a hat. Then each car was given their GO card at the exact time of their scheduled departure time spaced 5 minutes apart. There was a finishing crew on Goat Island between the two falls who collected the GO cards, wrote down the finish time and calculated each elapsed time. Our car was the Chrysler TC3 turbocharged Shelby. This was back in the day with no GPS so everyone had a second person to read actual paper maps. We switched drivers halfway when we filled up with gas. The lasting legacy is that two marriages were the direct result of this race. One couple met after the race was over in Niagara falls and the other couple paired up from the guy asking this girl if he could drive her car in a race. She said "yes" if she could go along. Today they have grown kids and a great story of how they got together.
15:27 Holy moley! 142 mph . I couldn't even imagine the adrenaline a coast to coast run gives you.

V12 SACAPUNTAS, what “cheats”?
John H cheat codes. Like in them video games the kids play
@@johnh2349 With traffic = no cheats. No traffic = cheats
@@broncogrizzI disagree. That isn't a cheat. Taking advantage of an environmental change you have no control over is not cheating. Gaming the GPS to alter the time, doing a relay style hand-off between cars on the trip or taking a plane part way would be a cheat.
Spotters and chase cars are cheats.
When the spotters takes one for the team, really felt like Fast and Furious
Makes me wonder how well an Ex-Statey Charger would do, especially if it still had the spot light and push bar on.
Yeah, or a taurus. They have like 370 hp, and are made for driving long long shifts.
They would break down.
I'd avoid using a Charger, for aerodynamics reasons. A police-spec Taurus would probably be better. It's kinda like the difference between the classic Charger 500 and the Charger Daytona.
(I say this as the owner of a first-gen LX platform Charger, too.)
The FPIS would have a lot more room in the trunk than a Charger Pursuit. One thing that you'd have to keep in mind is that different places use different vehicles for LE. What might not get any attention drawn toward it in one state might also end up getting called in by someone in a different state because that person doesn't associate that vehicle with law enforcement because of no agencies around where they live using that particular vehicle. For California, a White Charger Pursuit (RWD) would be the best bet since it could easily be mistaken as one of the rarer CHP "polar bears" that only have markings on the side of the car.
I remember this same feeling not dealing with any traffic for about two months. Shaved so much time off my commute
"All the KARENs"... hilarious..
My favorite part if the car is the little ford looking logo that says audi lol
With major legs of either route still in lockdown, it's tough to compare these to runs from pre-COVID, but they are impressive all the same. Congrats Doug and Arne on reclaiming your throne, wonder how long it'll stand this time around.

I have a slightly modded 105 series Alfa Coupé now, not as fast but twice as funny to drive - not a single boring Nanny system, raw, direct, loud and honest. Commuting is a boring, time-shredding chore, so it should be done with the car that can give You the most fun on Your daily way to work, right? Commuting in an S6 would even enable You to drop the kids on the way, something a Boxster can only do with one kid at a time, pretty much like the 105 series Bertone, too.
I have the very nice advantage to live and commute in Germany, which makes it less of a chore and more of an adrenaline shot, better than any coffee money could buy.

If you really think about it, every record is beatable. It’s a matter of milliseconds, and nobody will ever have the perfect run - not a single car on the road, perfect gas ‘n goes, etc. shave of a few seconds here or there and you’ve mathematically beat the record.
Good luck in Manhattan.
