What is the Wicked Cannonball Run?

Wicked Cannonball Run is in fact the Wicked Adventure Rally. Wicked Cannonball Run was the working title we used to describe the event before we settled on the name, Wicked Adventure Rally.

What is a Cannonball Run?

You may or may not have heard of the 1981 movie “The Cannonball Run”

A wild, illegal, and popular cross-country car is organized, and the eccentric entrants will do anything to win, including low-down, dirty tricks.

In this movie Burt Reynolds is an adventurer who decides to participate in an illegal car race all over the country. There is an all-star cast of racers (Jackie Chan, Farrah Fawcett, Peter Fonda, Dean Martin, Roger Moore, Sammy Davis Jr. and others) that will do anything to outrun all the difficulties (including the police) and win the race.

The Wicked Adventure Rally will not really be anything like the movie but it did provide us with the original inspiration for the event.

Why write a post titled Wicked Cannonball Run?

Well, TNT Magazine Downunder featured the Wicked Adventure Rally in their TNT Extra newsletter and they described the event as the Wicked Cannonball Run. We’ve also referred to the event as a Wicked Cannonball Run in our promotional materials. I did a search on google for that phrase and noticed that we weren’t ranking for it, so I’m writing this post in the hope that the big G will pick it up and know what’s what.
