Prologue
Brock Yates, an editor at the world famous car magazine car and driver, sat at his desk and looked like he was writing or sketching something on a pad of paper. ` I wonder what it would have been like if I kept this going all these years, it probably would be a big success,' he thought to himself. Just then one of his friends at the magazine walked in. "Hey Brock, what's a matter you look like u crashed a brand new Porsche into a wall on the LA freeway during rush hour," he said jokingly. "Its nothing," said Brock. Then suddenly his colleague sees the paper that Brock was drawing. Quickly, Brock tried to cover it up, but he was too late his friend had already grabbed the paper. "What's this, it looks like some kind of race," he said eager to see what it said. "Its nothing, its just a thing that I was drawing for a little while," he said nervously. As his friend look at it appeared to be a to be a picture of the world with mini cannonballs fling around and underneath it had
some writing. "Enter the new version of the united states first illegal race. The Cannonball Run. But, this time instead of going coast to coast it's going worldwide. Yes that's right this time it's a race around the world. Cash prizes valued at over $100,000.00. To enter you must show up at the cannonball inn in up state New York by June 23 or we will leave with out you," he read. He looked shock. He never would have though Brock had been involved in the race that he had heard about so much as a kid. "Brock, you're the, the," he stuttered. "Yeah, I'm the guy who started the infamous race across the country," he said. "But, you should be a millionaire, and you're working at one of the world most leading auto magazines," he said. "I know, but with all the arrest, tickets, and other stuff I only did it a couple of years and then just stopped it," said Brock. "Well, what if we were to publish this in the next issue of car and driver," he said. "Well who knows it might just work
lets try it," said Brock. Before he could finish his friend was off to the printing room with his picture. After that Brock knew he had a lot of work a head of him.
