I learned the hard way that one should never mess with Wikipedia’s rules regarding seld-editing/additions, so it was with impatient self-flattery that I hoped someone would add me to the official Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash Wiki….which just happened. (Thanks, ENeville)
Congradulations Team Polizei and to you mr. Roy!
“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.”
