2025 Cannonball Reunion
October 11 & 12, 2025 | Cars & Coffee Darien
When Speed Limits Were Suggestions and America Still Had Balls
Join us for the annual gathering of automotive outlaws at the sacred launching grounds of the final Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. This year’s reunion promises to be our most spectacular celebration yet of the magnificent, completely illegal legacy that proved good drivers in good automobiles could traverse America faster than any government bureaucrat ever imagined.
