The Colorado State Patrol is on alert today for cars zooming west on Interstate 70, participants of the Cannonball Run, a race from the East Coast to the West Coast.
The local office of the State Patrol was notified by teletype today from Denver to be on the lookout for an array of fast-moving cars.
“We got people out looking for them and an aircraft up looking for them in case we have to do some speed enforcement,” said Troy Marvel, communications officer for the State Patrol.
The State Patrol is looking for fast-moving exotic cars such as Porsches, Maseratis and Ferraris that may be participating in the race, Marvel said.
Damn. Beat me to it by seconds.
Cannonball Run ping. What a great movie that was in the 70’s. I think they should try it again in 2007. Might as well since they are repeating all the movies anyway.
“teletype”
???
They don’t have cell phones at the Patrol...
Didn’t they make a sequel?
“teletype”

ROTFLMAO Me too! I looked all over to confirm the date of the article. Sometimes postings are reprints of old articles and I thought maybe was from the 1970’s. Too funny.
“Don’t talk about him. You know I don’t like it when you talk about him.”
I liked The Gumball Rally, too. Though Cannonball Run was fun too.
It would never be as good. Although I'm sure Jackie Chan would be willing to do another one.
most of the people in it would probably come back for it, unfortunately my two favourites from the movies have passed on.
It’s a mad mad mad mad mad world
And now my friend, the first-a rule of Italian driving.

Somebody is having some fun today...
I hope the police don’t resort to profiling...
The Sheik: My driving is rivaled only by the lightning bolts from the heavens!
Sheik’s Sister: So you still intend to enter the race with the infidel Americans?
The Sheik: My dear sister, the Cannonball shall fall to the forces of Islam! I swear it!
Ever see Vanishing Point?
Last time : Dennis Rodman got stopped several times, stole gas from Glenwood station...?
The police were polite is not giving speeding tickets...
