Wow, that is just amazing.

You wouldn't normally expect something like averaging 90mph across the entire country to be that difficult, but holy crap did he have to work for it.

Good read, this brings back memories for me in my stupid 20's, doing Minneapolis to Denver in a night. They didn't get caught, with everyone owning a cell phones and such, Thats Amazing!

Haven't watched the vids yet, but read most the article.. awesome. Sounds like something i'd love to do. I will say that averaging certain speeds is harder than it sounds. I may have averaged a tad over 100 from the middle of chicago to my driveway once though :p.
