Sorry katmyluv......Don't know a song about him. He had kind of gone the way of Douglas"WrongWay"Corrigan and others of the era when there were still worlds to conquer for the common man with a piece of primitive machinery until Brock Yates rejuvenated his memory with the "Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash."

Starting at the Red Ball Garage in NYC and ending at the Portofino Inn, the Cannonball got a lot of attention for awhile, but alas, the race, which had started as a real race and a bit of a protest, simply became the fodder for a bunch of poorly done "Fast Car Movies." Randy and I were signed up for '76 but the hospitalization of his Dad at the last minute stopped us and after that schedules just got in the way. We both still talk about it and really regret never doing one. We were pretty well prepared and planned out that year and really thought we could do well.
