New record for the coast to coast run with a time of 28 hours and 50 minutes with an average speed of 98 mph. I give these guys huge props, that is a monstrous feat.

Pretty much unbreakable once this gets verified. This absolutely shattered the previous record

What is strange is they are coming out only a few weeks after completing the run with evidence, they aren't waiting for the statute of limitations to take effect nulling any crime

The prep they did for the run including modifications was pretty amazing

Saw it on facebook a couple days ago. Read the thing. Seems pretty legit with gps tracking everything unless that was bogus which it doesn't seem to be.

That said don't really care that much about the record personally.
