SUMMARY:2024 Cannonball© Reunion
DESCRIPTION:Last years event was so much fun\, we’ve decided to do it again. Please join us on October 12th and 13th\, for the 2024 edition of the  Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash© Reunion. \nWhat was The Cannonball?\nThe Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash\, commonly referred to as the “Cannonball” or the “Cannonball Run”\, was an unsanctioned\, illegal cross-country automobile race that took place in the United States. It was inspired by Erwin “Cannonball” Baker\, who set multiple cross-country driving records in the early 20th century. The modern race was organized by car journalist Brock Yates and ran five times between 1971 and 1979. The goal was to make the cross-country trip in the shortest time possible\, which often involved breaking numerous traffic laws and using creative methods to avoid police detection. \nFor the first 4 races\, participants would start at the Red Ball Garage in New York City and race to the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach\, California\, covering about 2\,900 miles. But for the last race in 1979 – the race that the movie was based on – started at the Lock\, Stock & Barrel restaurant in Darien\, CT. While officially discontinued due to safety concerns and legal issues\, the Cannonball Run became a cultural phenomenon\, inspiring movies\, books\, and continued interest in coast-to-coast racing. \nThis years’ star car is scheduled to be Brock Yate’s other Dodge Challenger – the one he was building before he passed away. The car had been lost for a number of years and recently found and the new owner is committed to taking over where Brock left off and is completing the project The Darien event will be only the 3rd time in 18 years that the car has been seen in public. \nWe’ll also have several of the original Cannonballer’s in attendance. \n\n\n\n \nLady Pamela Yates (Cannonball 3) \n\n \nBrock Yates\, Jr (Cannonball 1) \n\n\n\n \nBrad Niemcek (Cannonball 2\, 3 & 4) \n\n \nJohn Micek (Cannonball 5) \n\n\n\n\nAs usual\, ALL MAKE AND MODELS ARE WELCOME to our show. Because this is the Cannonball Edition\, we want to see as many Cannonball cars as possible. Trophies will be awarded for the cars that best represent the spirit of the Cannonball. In addition\, we’re going to have awards for the best Cannonball costume. \nEvent Schedule\n\n\n\nOctober 12\n\n\n\n3:00 – 6:00 pm\nHotel Check in\n\n\n\n6:30 – 10:00 pm\nReception and dinner for visiting Cannonballers (private)\n\n\nOctober 13\n\n\n\n6:00 am – 7:00 am\nExhibitor Cars Arrive\n\n\n\n7:00 am – 10:30 am\nEvent opens for Spectators\n\n\n\n10:30 am – 11:00 am\nExhibitor Cars Depart\n\n\n\n12:00 pm – 2:00 pm\nSunday brunch for visiting Cannonballers (private)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpectators get 20% off their food purchases from Aux Delices.  Exhibitors get 20% off their food purchases and FREE COFFEE from Aux Delices.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2024 Full Season Sponsors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n2024 Event Sponsors
