Unlike some of the 1972 participants—the race was not run in 1973 and 1974—this year's Cannonballers seemed a sobersided, gum-chewing lot. (In the previous race, three women drivers wore flesh-tight pink suits, and three males dressed as priests but got ticketed nonetheless.) The only out-of-the-way vehicle entered was a Travco mobile home with three drivers who, between turns at the wheel, were served soufflé Romano, fettucini and cannelloni by an Italian chef. They made the trip in 45 hr. 36 min. and celebrated with Chianti.
