Outstanding achievement by Ed Bolian. Definitely recommend reading his book; For the Record: 28:50 - A journey toward self-discovery and the Cannonball Run Record.

If you are into this sort of stuff, you might also find the account of Alex Roy. Roy set the previous record in his M5, breaking a long dry spell in this arena and likely egged Bolian on to try, worth a read or watch. Roy's book is The Driver: My Dangerous Pursuit of Speed and Truth in the Outlaw Racing World. The film, 32 HOURS 7 MINUTES, is also worth a watch.

And for all those couch pilots saying how easy this record would be to break; let us know how it goes!

That's Alex Roy on his cross country trip across the US in 31 Hours 4 Minutes modified BMW M5

His wikipedia page

Book on Amazon Quite a good read if your interested in that stuff and it's not too expensive

Currently reading A Clash of Kings and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I have had a few "short term" complaints here and there but overall very good.

I also picked up The Driver recently so I have to decide whether I want to read that after finishing A Clash of Kings (and put off the rest of the song of ice and fire series for a short while) or to try and read them both simultaneously.

That's Alex Roy. His book is a fantastic read

Of course it's written by Alex Roy. Because of course it is.

His book, The Driver chronicles the experience. One of my favorite automotive books.
