This "Cannonball" stuff is a whole different animal though. It's one thing for a guy to spontaneously blast through the next few corners a bit quickly and have fun with their car. Not that there are no risks involved with that, or public perception problems, or even people indicating they might think I'm an azzhole with their gestures. It's a whole different thing to bring full-on race cars out onto public roads with the stated intent of racing cross-country.

Couldn't agree more. Some of these "events" give legit events, such as the California Mille and the Colorado Grand an undeserved bad name.
