Ok time is getting close and we are getting ready for the journey.
It's time for the 2nd Annual Defcon Cannonball Run. We are set to leave in 14 days!
What is the Defcon Cannonball Run?
It is a race from Redondo Beach to the Alexis Park Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada
Why are you doing it?
In 1981 in the movie 'The Cannonball Run" the teams ended up finishing at Kings Harbor, Redondo Beach. In 1984, in the movie "Cannonball Run II" the teams started in Redondo Beach and finished in Boston.
But why are you finishing in Las Vegas?
Well thats where defcon is... duh.
How is this going to work?
All the people who want to participate will meet at Joes Crab Shack (230 Portofino Way, Redondo Beach, CA) and listen to the disclaimers. The racing teams will all get a time card. When it is the teams time to leave, they will punch the time card in the time clock and race their vehicle to the Alexis Park where there will be another time clock in the bar of the hotel. The total time will be the difference between the two times. The winner will be the team with the quickest time.
What does the winner get?
That is up for debate right now. Last year we decided that a $5 donation from each team member would go to the pot and then the winner team would get that back in the form of a bar tab for the drinking that goes after the race. Again, we are debating this and probably will decide when we all gather. There will be a couple of t-shirt and other give-aways.
Where can I see all the rules and other stuff?
