So anyways, we had this foot long thermal rifle scope mounted on the roof
LOL. exactly my thoughts. wtf

He’s lying. He used an RS4 Audi not a Mercedes.
@Tom S yes but aren't there pictures of it in the daytime at the gas station?
The irony is not lost.
I, too, have an invisible Mercedes. It's hard to find sometimes though.

Grey blends in especially into the horizon and among other colors, the military teaches that.
Never buy a grey motorcycle.
Southie is this factual or ....
Gray and black are really really bad colors for motorcycles. There are always roads to blend in with when you're cruising. When you're coming down a hill or going around certain angled curves, people that are looking to pull out will look right through you because you blend in so well with the road behind you.
Manufacturers should know this and should stop making bikes in those colors....
@@lordMaroza just dress as a power ranger. Don't go all black widow on a grey bike. Unlike loud pipes, loud colours actually do save lives.
I've noticed that sports bikes like the Ninja and others(I know jack-all about sports bikes) are always crazy looking with bright green, blue, or red colors and bold patterns. Maybe that's why.
My McLaren F1 is invisible too. I’ve never been able to see it.
* Pulls up my denim jeans * Ya know that was always Gordon's singular vision for the car, he wanted to make it invisible and I think it's unsurpassed to this day ya know

Supposedly they only mounted that at night.
His worldrecord run was recently broken by someone in a Audi A8 L with an average speed of 170km/h. But there is controversy about this because he made the run during this Covid-19 Pandemic.
So it turns out this is not entirely true. Its true someone made the run in a Audi A8L with well over 600 hp but he missed the world record on 5 minutes.
Well no one got time to give him tickets personally they'll just mail it if its ever recorded by the police.
Bro with a record that breaks the rules to achieve there should not be rules he got there the fastest he wins

Best counter measure don’t post how you did it on CZcams
Well, they will release the video next year. But this is normal, all cannonball participants talk about what they have used.
I’m sure the most useful method they used is not even mentioned.
It'd be smarter to give all the secrets away that way the cops catch on and they keep the record for life.
Too late
Most of their techniques and countermeasures are known. Toman said multiple times that these systems and devices were the result of him being a participant in multiple Cannonball run prior to his record-setting run. It's the fact that his set up is extremely expensive, labor-intensive, impractical and 99% of the time straight up unnecessary. The vast majority of countermeasures he used are known, some even commonly use. Toman only combined a wide variety of them together and jack it with steroids.
Every cop we passed stopped us to check out the cool scope on the roof....LOL!

Doesnt matter, without proof he cant be prosecuted and his evidence cant be taken as proof because you have the right to not incriminate yourself.
laws and crimes are subjective my guy
speed limits are one of those 'crimes' that depend on having an officer or other means of recording there to witness it. It does not matter at all if you did not get caught. you could literally go up to a cop and tell them you just drove across the country in 26 hours at speeds in excess of 130 mph, and they would probably just walk away. without a hit on their radar gun they have nothing to ticket you for that will hold up in court.
@@TalonPro I don't know about that...
Many years ago, I sat in on traffic court. Guy was clocked going 40 mph in a 30 zone, but cop was busy with another speeder. After a few minutes, he drove down the road and found a house with the offending car parked in the driveway. Long story, shot, he issued a ticket and it ended up in court.
With the driver on the stand, being questioned by the prosecutor, the guy claims he wasn't speeding at 40 mph, and that the radar unit was probably not calibrated properly.
Prosecutor asks what he does for a living - says he is the radar technician at Westwood Raceway. After a few minutes, the court goes quiet as they listen to this guy talk about the proper way to calibrate radar units and how easy it is for them to be wrong. Really fascinating stuff!
The prosecutor is just about to sit down, when he turns suddenly to the driver and asks "How fast were you going?"
The guy immediately responds "About 32, maybe 33 mph."
The court clerk burst out laughing!
Judge says "Guilty by self-admission!"

So they stopped four times over 26 hours, that's 5.2 hours between stops (5 segments, 4 stops) - that's easily doable on a normal bladder, and you really could go a day+ without a deuce as well. It's probably not as big of an issue as people ask about.
It's simply amazing that in a time when everyone has a cellphone and can call the cops about a speeding vehicle that the record could be broken.

Truly incredible! I could never do this myself but it amazes me to see what you guys can accomplish!
Bruh they really out here, using a thermal scope
The TCAS system is crazier.
It's a system designed for planes to receive a warning and an emergency change of course if they are about to have a near in-air-collision.
So they were somehow using it to test for near aircraft and even if it didnt alert to to a near crash it may still be able to detect other aircraft by way of whatever process happens to determine if they were about to crash.
I'm more impressed that they thought to use TCAS, a system nobody knows about unless they work in aviation. ADS-B would have been a cheaper solution but I doubt all the police aircraft are equipped if they're not flying into controlled airspace. What I'd like to know is how they were able to get TCAS in without having TCAS out. TCAS out would have immediately alerted any aircraft in the area. To be honest now that I'm thinking about it... I don't know of many small aircraft that have TCAS? Usually it's large commercial aircraft.
@@mitchellroberts7954 I know about it because I binge watch air crash investigations.

@@actontreadway1168 yeah I guess so.
I had the very best radar detection system mounted stealthily within my van, but what I _really_ loved was my absolutely spastic laser jamming system which was the very best on the market at the time (and still is to this very day!). The radar detector was the Beltronics Sti-XR (100% undetectable by radar detector detectors!) and I also had an Escort Passport 9500ci before the Beltronics which was better in terms of learning where the radars were and auto-locking them into its memory, but I preferred the simplicity and solid ruggedness of the Beltronics unit. The laser jammer I used was the Laser Interceptor which I had mounted very stealthily just under my van pointing straight ahead at exactly parallel to the road. This thing was so good that when I had purchased the best laser gun in the entire country at the time in order to really put this jammer through the wringer, I could never even get a reading at any time I had tried to get the van while in fast motion! I mean, I tried everything!! I even tried to point the gun to the roof which was very far away from the jammer heads, and also in combination to try to shoot the van while it was extremely close to me... but the jammer won every single time without fail!! I even had my friend drive _his_ vehicle in which he had spent 3x what I did on a jammer which was another brand and nowhere near as efficient or effective as mine, but he had his professionally installed, hence the hefty price tag! So, I pointed my laser gun at his vehicle while he was jamming, and I got a reading almost immediately, every single time no matter what scenario we had tried to come up with! I was now that much more impressed with this jammer of mine! I LOVED this thing. Of course, I had it hooked up to a kill switch so that I could switch it off once I slowed down after a cop could have the opportunity to read my speed, which he would initially find it very difficult to get a reading off my van for a couple of seconds (which was funny as my van was tall and had a massive front surface area, enough for a cop to read me at a mile away! lol), then I would switch the jammer off and by then, I would have slowed right down and he would _eventually_ get that mighty precious speed reading he was after, but it would always read just under the maximum speed limit by then... LOL!!
How long ago was that?
Love this channel.
Hope all you guys stay safe while you're having all that fun.
The anti collision device is called ads-b in. Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast. Definitely a outside the box thought for sure.
Fantastic story. I am just glad everyone was arrived safely and the only civilian injuries were to their feelings when a silver bullet whizzed by at double or triple the speed limit.
Congratulations to this team for their ingenuity in beating the Cannonball record.
