Re: Gearhead Guys You Should Know: Erwin
What an interesting person. I just cannot imagine what it took to do what this guy did. I also never knew who the Cannonball was named after and now I do. Thanks again Brian.Comment

Re: Gearhead Guys You Should Know: Erwin "Cannonball" Baker
Way cool!
Nope, I don't think we can (safely, or is it legally) duplicate a trip like that today. I'm glad there were nutjobs gearheads who had the stones to pull off these kinds of stunts when the going was good. I can't imagine what it was like to cross the country when Baker did it.
Alas, I know the origin of "Cannonball", great stuff! ;DComment
