So far my cannonball experiences haven't been that great. James knows.

I've only done one cannonball, and first I got lost, then we ALL got lost, then I blew a headgasket.

That's a 300% fail rate.

 

first off, no one has ever been arrested or even got a ticket during a cannonball run.

the last couple cannonballs I printed maps for everyone, dont know how you got lost, sorry about that.

its basicly a big lap of the metroplex, followed by a little party

 

I don't know if you were the one that set it up last time, I just know it wasn't an rx7 only thing. There was a R33 Skyline there. And the fail thing was directed at myself, don't take offense or anything. I got lost taking a right instead of a left out of the parking lot - then we all got lost going the wrong way on 114. Even if you were the organizer, none of it had anything to do with poor planning, it was all on me... well, me and the guy that said "Oh yeah, THIS way on 114!"

 

Ah well that sounds like fun! I am game.

 

the cannonball is open to everyone, no matter what they drive

 

LOL, I remember that, you guys kept calling SlammedBlk7 asking where we were and so we stopped and waited at gas station down 114 and waited a little bit for you guys to turn around and catch up but you guys never turned around or something and ended up on 187 or something.

 

you should not have even got on 114, be sure to get a map next time

 

First thing we stopped at the gas-station because 600hp kept blowing off his intercooler hose, I think - so we turned right on the access road out of the gas station, thinking there was another overpass to make a U-turn. :P Surprise! Not until after you cross 35E. Then we were following the guy who had the map, who knew we needed to turn on 114. He chose poorly. Shortly thereafter, my overtemp light went on and found out I was dumping coolant into cylinder number 3. :P So that ended the night for me. :P

 

was this at the last one, 6 months ago, where the girl in the corvette was suppose to lead everyone?

 

Oh we were making the trip a little more scenic since most of us that live in grand prairie turn around and go home once we're half way down 20. I'm not to fond of the toll booth going the intended path of the cannonball. It caused everyone to be way spread out.

 

The object of a cruise or cannonball shouldn't be to lose everyone on the highway......what about the solo folks...are we asking for one handed driving trying to read a map at 120 mph?

 

Not that gas station... but yea, Eric blew the pipe off the turbo off again down 114 which was why were at the gas station in the first place

 

its a good idea to have a co driver.

 

Toll booths are against my religion. And if it's my wife's little red v6 Mustang Convertible that you're thinking was a Corvette, I'll tell her - she'll be thrilled.

 

Toll booths are evil....

 

Agreed - I'm supposed to PAY you, so I can drive LESS? That goes against everything I so fervently believe.

Wow, that sucks. I just totally posted that to the wrong thread.

 

I think everyone just ran the toll booths last time.

It was a girl in a corvette...I told her great, you can lead everyone nto the hwy. and she did, think she finished 4th over all

 

Ah, not my wife then - we stopped when all the smoke came out. I just remember the green Skyline, and the old low-rider.

 

the low rider finished the rally, but over heated in the parking lot

 

lol, I remember him driving in in full pimp style and me saying "That's awesome, now all it needs is some hydraulics!" and it goes "Pssshst" down. LOL

 

I think those guys were in the dfw-mazdas club

 

It was definitely a fun time, though - replacing the head gasket on a v6 Mustang however, was not. :P

Oh Kyle, not that it matters much, but your master cylinder's in the same place mine is - I don't know why that didn't look right to me. :P

 

might be a good idea to rent a car for the cannonball
