The plot of a cross-country road race is based on an actual event, the Cannonball Baker Sea



to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, organized by Brock Yates to protest the 55 mph speed



limit then in effect in the U.S. The Cannonball was named for Ernest G. "Cannonball" Baker,



who in the roaring 20's rode his motorcycle across the country. Many of the characters are



based on ruses developed by real Cannonball racers over the several years that the event



was run.
