On the morning of October 7, 2011 Detroiters and other early morning metropolitan commuters will be rudely awakened to the escalating sound of revving engines and the smell of high octane fuel as cars and competitors gather for a “mad-cash-dash” in the very first RoadRunners Rally.
800-1,000 drivers in 400 amazing cars, from Aston Martins to Porsches, Ford GT40s to Dodge Vipers, Chevy Corvettes to Smart cars, even ice cream trucks, SUVs and RVs will be seen off by a bevy of beautiful RoadRunner girls and a flurry of paparazzi.
Teams will be invited to a pre-rally launch party on October 6, 2011 to receive the official 2011 Roadrunners Rally sponsorship car decals/graphics, mission packs and meet their fellow Roadrunners and have the secret rally route revealed. The following morning they will embark on an incredible 1,300 mile scavenger hunt/poker run spanning 5+ states, hit checkpoints along the way, stop for an adrenaline filled track day at one of Midwest's largest raceways and cross the finish line back in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday afternoon, October 8th. After crossing the checkered flag and taking part in an array of photo shoots, participants will prepare for the infamous "Cannonball" black tie gala reception featuring a feast fit for a king, open bar, guest speakers, entertainment, wild surprises and overnight accommodations for all participants. The victorious team will be announced after the official donation to our selected charity and will take the grand prize, the trophy and free entry into the next Roadrunners event to defend their crown, all of which will be caught on film.
The RoadRunners Rally is on track to becoming the largest street legal event ever to be held in the United States and will bring together every type of car fanatic including American Muscle Heads, Exotic Supercar lovers and even Japanese Drifters.
Here at Cannonball Run Rally Events HQ we pride ourselves in thinking outside the box. This event promises to be unique, original and provide its fair share of surprises for both the contestants and fans.

A Bite of History - Marcos
By Mike Thies
The Marcos was one of those wonderfully unconventional British sports car companies that could only have come from the postwar racing world. The company was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and aerodynamicist Frank Costin, with the name Marcos coming from Marsh and Costin. Costin brought serious aircraft and racing design experience to the project, and that influence showed up immediately in the cars: low frontal area, light weight,…

A Judge’s View from Pinehurst: Sandhills Motoring Expo 2026 by Mike Thies
The 2026 Sandhills Motoring Expo Concours in the Village was one of those days that reminds you why we do this. Held Sunday, May 24, in the historic Village of Pinehurst, the event brought together more than 130 judged automobiles representing over 40 manufacturers, and from this judge’s point of view, it was a first-class field, a well-run operation, and a genuinely enjoyable day with owners who were proud to…
