In 1914, Erwin “Cannon Ball” Baker crossed the United States on a motorcycle in 11 and a half days. 

Fifty-seven years later, a writer and editor for Car and Driver magazine set out to honor his trip by driving from Manhattan to Los Angels. 

Ever since, people have been trying to replicate their journey in ever shorter times. 

Learn more about the Cannonball Run and the highly illegal quest to drive across the United States on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
