From Jalopnik: [http://jalopnik.com/this-man-is-selling-entries-for-a-coast-to-coast-race-o-1493198951](http://jalopnik.com/this-man-is-selling-entries-for-a-coast-to-coast-race-o-1493198951) > - He can’t be sued because he’s not running the race on public roads in the United States, he’s running the race on public roads in America. > - The United States only exists in the District of Columbia, and everything else is “America,” so the rest of the country doesn’t count towards statuatory regulations affecting “The United States.” > - He can’t be sued or held liable for anything non-violent, because he refuses to acknowledge the existence of anyone that would sue him. He also claims he can’t get tickets, and doesn’t pay any taxes. This, presumably, is also why he thinks it’s ok to violate Brock Yates’s Copyright on the term “Cannonball.” > - He can’t be held liable for what someone does in their own car, even if they pay him to enter his race under the assumption that if they get to LA first, they win $50,000. He says that “recommending against speeding” is enough of a disclaimer to release his own liability. > - He can install GPS trackers in cars to prove who got there fastest, and there is no way the government can or will ever see that information, or be able to use it to prosecute. > - He claims he can’t be arrested because he claims not to be a US Citizen (but he’s not a foreigner either. He just lives here, and is not subject to our laws). > - Offering a $50,000 prize for being there first is not encouraging people to break the law, only those with “evil in their hearts” can break the law. ---

Looks like he changed his website and removed “run” from “cannonball run.” Cancelled his auction too. Great start :tup:
