End of Races
editWhy did they stop running the Cannonball Run? 64.131.242.211 (talk) 06:09, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

2020 Record
editSaw a VINWiki Youtube video saying there was a new record of 26:38, taking advantage of the COVID-19 lockdowns reducing traffic. Is it worth updating the article. I note there's a substantial backlash against it, that it's not appropriate to be taking advantage of the current mess. It seems there's a few in the "Cannonball Community" saying that it's not legit and they won't recognise the record, I'm not sure how we can include anything of this while keeping a neutral point of view. Really, there's little room for moral pontificating from people who are inherently breaking the law in doing so. 49.180.120.221 (talk) 17:55, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- I've seen some of the same chatter; I'm guessing we'd have to make sure we're sourcing from what Wikipedia would consider reliable sources, and make sure we're not including any original research, not to mention avoiding weasel words. If I may submit as a first draft:
During the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2019-2020, several attempts of the Cannonball Run were made, including (reportedly) several new records for the run, attributed to fewer cars on roads used during pandemic-related shutdowns. We could then add specifics about drivers, vehicles used, and sources (ideally, magazine articles or news stories). Thoughts? TheBigFish (talk) 20:19, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
