    On Oct. 5th Brock Yeats passed away. He was a long time writer for Car and Driver and the man that organized the Cannonball Run races. He will be missed. If you don't know about the real Cannonball runs, the real name, Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. You should read Cannonball by Brock Yates, every car guy should read it.

    heres a good article
