Alan’s Real Cannonball Photos…

My good buddy Alan (aka the Scootermeister) has a bunch of cool photos from The Real Cannonball.  That’s the coast-to-coast run (from Manhattan to California) he organized this year.   Without further ado, here are the photos and Alan’s captions…

The Real Cannonball. Motel 6, Ft. Smith, AR.  Just off I-40.  As up-scale as any Best Western!  Thank you VERY much Pam and Capt. Lew for the dry clothes, rain suit, Crown Royale and extremely nice digs!  Team Laurito Racing Photo.

 The Real Cannonball. I-40. Pam, the undisputed most beautiful member of Team Laurito Racing, giving me a much needed hug and words of encouragement as the race drug on through the plains. Thank you soooooo much!

The Real Cannonball. Just off I-40, probably somewhere in Oklahoma, or Texas?  Another gourmet lunch.  Energy bars.  Team Laurito Racing Photo by Pam.

The Real Cannonball. I-40.  We made short order of Stan Scott’s (Honda 250cc Helix) home state.

The Real Cannonball. I-40.  Middle of nowhere!  Capt. Lew and Pam following me mile-after-mile, hour-after-hour.  Team Laurito Racing Photo by Pam.

The Real Cannonball.  I-40.  Middle of nowhere! C apt. Lew and me stopping yet again to mess with some minor irritating problem.  Team Laurito Racing Photo by Pam.

Another Shell pit stop.  One of many.  This Team Laurito Racing pix of Capt. Laurito and me, taken by Pam, must have been shot early-on because the top mount on the Leo Vince “ZX” pipe hadn’t gone south yet.  The distal end of the silencer was MIA, making this pipe so loud two different Virginia State Troopers sitting on the side of the road with their windows rolled up heard me zip by and gave chase!

Capt. Lew and I at one of the dozens of Shell stations we stopped at on I-40 at during The Real Cannonball.  Pam, the feminine crew-member of Team Laurito Racing, was kind enough to hand me a cup of hot coffee to warm my inner core from the gnawing cold, and snap this pix.

Capt. Lew Laurito, Team Laurito Racing, helping me for the umpteenth time at the bottom of an I-40 off-ramp in God-knows-where with attempting to secure the disintegrating “ZX” pipe during The Real Cannonball.

Alan, it looks like you guys had an absolutely outstanding time!
