Ep. 5 The Fraternity of Lunatics

When Ed Bolian shattered the Cannonball record in 2013, he didn’t just make history—he made it searchable. With the launch of VinWiki, Ed helped turn outlaw runs into viral stories, sparking a new era of digital mythmaking. Then in 2019, Arne Toman and Doug Tabbutt upped the ante with a record so fast it felt untouchable… until COVID hit. With traffic-free roads and lockdown conditions, a string of pandemic-era records followed. Some saw opportunity. Arne and Doug saw an asterisk. And they were determined to prove they didn’t need a global shutdown to be the fastest.
