A group of friends made Cannonball Run history when they completed the coast-to-coast drive from NYC to LA in a solar-powered car.
When you think of the Cannonball Run, you probably think of a group of people making the trip from New York’s Red Ball Garage to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach in the shortest amount of time. Police encounters, lack of sleep, zero rest stops, a spare fuel tank or two, and gallons of energy drinks are usually what fuels these attempts to make the roughly 3,000-mile route in record time. But something was lacking in the most recent successful attempt: conventional gasoline.
There is an accelerator pedal and front brake pedal, but most of the braking was handled by a pair of mountain bike brakes that went to the rear wheels. Everything is mechanically connected. There’s no steering wheel, but rather a set of handlebars inside to steer the Sunstrider.
