Here’s a snippet from the one-page of rules and guidelines that was given to each of the participants in the 1981 U.S. Express. Almost jokingly - and perhaps for the sake of laibility - drivers were encouraged to comply with the laws of the state through which they travelled (speed limits excluded?). For the entire sheet, clck here.

Adam, assistant editor of 32:07, gives us a brief update on the post-production process. Cory and the edting team believe it’ll be around six weeks before they find out whether or not it was accepted. During the waiting period, Cory says they’ll be going over footage to put together a trailer.
Who’s more dangerous? This guy in the cross-over SUV or Alex and Jon Goodrich on their ‘05 recon run?
32 Hours 7 Minutes is done. Locked. Well, almost. The music is almost done. But I’ve seen it. All 98 minutes, and, amazingly, Cory Welles somehow managed to include about 90 minutes of fantastic footage I’d never seen before, which is hard to believe…since I’ve watched a three hour rough cut about 200 times in the last year.
Sand sculptor, Brent Terry, recenly made this sculpture of a hinge with the logo of 32Hours7Minutes etched onto it. According to Terry, "I was trying to highlight precision and exactness amid potential danger, instead of racing at high speeds, and this is the direction I went." And because of his unusual direction, Terry’s piece generated, "huge public interest." If you’re anywhere near Harrison Hot Springs, Canada, drop by to take a look.
From storm chasers, to "shambulances" and contaminated NASA engineers, the list of ploys to escape conviction never ceases to amaze, not just for their comedic benefits but also for their ability to work. Read about US Express winner David Morse’s tactics in the comments section beneath the story.
And it worked. George Lloyd and Ron Docie, entrants in the 1981 U.S. Express claimed to be contaminated NASA employees who were told to proceed immediately to Travis AFB in California. This story in the Dec. 14th issue of Autoweek, cites two instances where the police officer let them off the hook…

Night vision, the old school way. These guys make Team Polizei look pretty weak. Cory and Adam have the whole story over at the official 32 Hours 7 Minutes blog…
Nuts, just nuts.
Cory Welles and Adam Bedient - Team Polizei’s friends over at the 32 Hours 7 Minutes Production Blog - have just released a fascinating new video of a conversation I nearly forgot ever took place…way back during our research into the 1983 U.S. Express record. Check out their post and video for yourself…
Thanks for the post, guys!
U.S. Express driver, Mack Howard, got this warning during his run in ‘82. Cannonball and U.S. Express drivers considered Ohio one of the toughest states to speed through. He would go on to get two real tickets within three hours of receiving it. Check out his sweet RX-7 with the giant air dam.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
