  • Arne fell in love with the idea of Cannonball at a young age. When he heard there was a similar event running, he had to build the perfect car to dominate the field. He never guessed what would happen next. Read more - www.arnesantics.com/i-went-sea... Follow Arne @arnesantics

    That Crown Vic was very impressive and so was the team behind the wheel. Great job and a valiant effort Arne. Too bad Dave is so good at Indian Leg Wrestling!

    Can't believe I'm only now watching this! I was captain of the other Crown Vic, the "General Leia" and let me tell you they blew past us in PA as if we were standing still. To their credit, they did wave.

      Yea, tell me about it. Ex-military brass car. Ex-"community patrol" car.
      Everyone was scared shitless, even though it was dark blue. It was like driving a magnet. Every car on the road slowed down to 10 mph UNDER the speed limit, even if they were in FRONT of you.
      Such a pain in the ass.
      Not a terrible car. Not good, either. Glad it's gone.

      You're right if your car has a modern trip computer look at your avg. Speed. My 07 subaru reads 24mph. To average 80 you have to be crazy fast

    @gdeangelkick Před 4 lety +10

    When I first read about the 2901 race, it seemed like a legit lemons affair. I don't know if that page is still up, but this race sounds like a hack-a-thon. Sorry, but getting a tech to do 1000 hours of free labor on your car is against the spirit of the race.

    LOL.. no records here. In March of 2017, I made it from Western KY, to SLC Utah in a 1984 GMC Camper Special in 20 hours, including a 2 hour nap. I made the mistake of going through Kansas and Wyoming. I think I almost died about 20 times ! The wind was crazy all the way from Kansas City until I got about two hours out of Laramie. Ohh on my nap I left the truck idling and fouled out a plug. 31" tires and 3.73 gears.

  • @craigjohnson4302
    @craigjohnson4302 Před 4 lety +6

    I guess the moral of the story is that you should always be trained and ready for leg wrestling.

    • @SvenTviking
      @SvenTviking Před 4 lety

      The moral of the story is why the hell don’t they let the cars go together? Ridiculous to screw somebody over at the very start by guaranteeing they arrive in LA during rush hour. I just hate petty stupidity, these people are the cause of so much shit in the world. They should have removed an hour and a half from his time.

    very impressive. as a colorado native who constantly goes up i-70, i can tell you for sure that most cars struggle to achieve 70mph, and semi trucks can (maybe) do 35. how you did 90 on those sketchy downhills and uphills was insane. great solid car and the same to the driver.

    You know, you guys pretty much have a think tank. Turn it toward legislation. Pass a law that says effective immediately all speed limits on Interstates are raised to 80MPH. Make it so the right lane can be a minimum of 45MPH, left lane for 80MPH. Look, cars are much more capable in the 21st century - why the hell are we still stuck in most urban areas to 45-55MPH?

What I want to do is make a run from the last road in the State of Maine near Canada down to San Diego via I40 just for the halibut. I also need a crate engine and an over drive. I'd be happy if I could average 75, 80 mph.
