Heading to a hotel now for some well deserved sleep. Stay tuned though for the results of this epic endeavour and some announcements from World Crush industries tomorrow and Tuesday. We're going to be rolling out some very cool things over the next few weeks.

To everyone who followed project Interceptor's progress, thank you so much! This is Christopher LaCon aka Nocal for World Crush industries signing off from California.

No luck in Union Square, thankfully our fearless embeded journalists Nick knows the area.

After stopping at Classic Cars West, we've headed over to China Town for a well deserved meal. Go figure everything would be closed at 3am on a Sunday.

Now we're going to try Union Square at the recommendation of a hotel clerk. Im looking forward to the first real meal we've had the chance to enjoy since brunch in Brooklyn on Saturday, 40 something hours ago.

We've done it! Just crossed the bay bridge, we're all to tired to do the math.

Just got into Cali, binoculars are key.

Just made our last fuel stop in Reno, NV. 222 miles to go.

Fast stop in Winnemuca, NV. So close!

Elko*

Nearing Elkor on a quarter tank. Back up to 76mph.

In Nevada now. 410 miles to Cali.

I dislike you Garmin! Way to take us of the highway.

Wow, salt lake city is HUGE.

Fuel stop ggogogo

9 hours 25 minutes to go. Only like 765 miles left. The fact that its so dark makes it an actual challenge.

The A-team and Cooking With Gas/Flirting with Disaster (the team in the Lincoln) are going to have a blast in the mountains.

Utah! Only like 800 miles left lol.

Just saw two accidents in half a mile. Its getting incredibly dark too. No urban lighting in any direction as far as the eye can see. I cannot wait to see the stars out here. (hey Dad, I finally got to see the pink fluffy clouds mentioned in that O.R.B. song)

Alex was able to finally seal up the rear window, its much quieter in the cabin. I'm wondering if that is a good thing though...

Crown Vics are pretty comfy when you're not handcuffed on a plastic seat in the back.

I can see the Rockys from here. The clouds here are impressive. Im looking at the most gorgeous orange, blue yellow purples and pinks. Alex is at the helm with 5/8ths of a tank.

I don't think we're far from Utah now. I can almost smell the Pacific from here.

In Wyoming watching the sun set on big sky country. I was able to bring the average up an mph but as we close in on Salt Lake City and the Rocky Mountains, im getting nervous. We're so close and yet so far. We've come all this way and I'll be darned if were going to lose to the A-team.

We've just entered Wyoming with a quarter tank so we're about to stop for fuel again, and its got to be fast to put distance on the A-team and the Lincoln team. It looks like ill be taking the evening stint today. Not far now from 24 hours in this beast, Dean is banking some serious time.

STILL in Nebraska. Dean's shown admirable consistency in recovering our lost time and repairing our average speed. We have yet to get the duct tape on this window to hold, its like having baseball cards in a bicycle tire.

Just left Maxwell, Nebraska. Its wicked flat out here. We replaced the alternator and battery as fast as humanly possible back in Lincoln, NE. Dean is back behind the wheel with Alex spotting.

The laser range finder is very nice AND it can set all of our laser detection gear off at once. We might be able to use that feature at some point, muahahahaha.

Another gas stop. Update soon.

And we still have an average of 70 mph.

New alternator andbattery, getting back on the road now.

The A team is only averaging 78mph. I think we can do this.

In the tow truck now, we can still do this I think.

Tow truck is inbound, going to take us back to Lincoln.

Alternator/battery seems cooked. Not good.

The battery light has come on near Lincoln, NE. Planning on picking up another one just in case, but it will negatively affect our time.

Almost to des mones . 1103 miles 12 hrs 55 min in the sadle. At this pace could finish in 35 hours a 2904 record

3 minutes 43 seconds for gas and bathroom breaks. I am very pleased with our eficiency so far, it'd be nice to pull more than 200 miles from a tank though.

Truthfully, its nice to keep switching drivers every few hours though, keeps things interesting, especially since we have no radio, the back left window is duct taped shut and we have to have the driver and spotter open the rear doors at every stop.

I'm going to seriously attempt sleep now.

Getting ready for yet another fuel stop. Dean will be taking over with Alex as spotter. Im going to pass out hard in the back, and it looks like Nick the reporter will be following suit.

I think this is as far west as I've been in a very long time. Its incredibly flat out here. About to exit, here we go again.

Just crossed into Illinois. Well lit highways are amazing things.

Just watched a firebird jump a shredded truck tire and almost.whack a guardrail. Scary, but everyone is fine (firechicken included).

I also want to appologize for the lack of pictures, after issues with the aircard, I turned to updating this via text. Im going to try and trouble shoot it but in this kind of 'test of endurance' its a bit of a challenge. Don't forget to stay tuned for an official world crush anouncement tomorrow!

Chris here again. Just finished my first stint. Got into indiana 20 or so ago. Ohio was pleasantly uneventful. Spotting for Alex now, on the lookout for an undercover silver mustang (thanks for the heads up Becky!)

Hi this is dean chris is driving he is doing 99 on the ohio turnpike. We r 511 miles into our 2900mile trip. The reporter is kind of concerned but havin a good time. Turnpike is 260 miles long. We are 125 miles in.
Ok luv ya bella and wyatt.

Second fuel stop. Out of contact for 3 or so hours!

Welcome to Ohio, home of Smokey the bear. Getting near the second fuel stop and my first stint.

Can't wait to take the helm. About to head into Bear Country, Ohio.

Fun fact: Ohio has some of the most extensively enforced traffic laws.

75 miles to Ohio or so.

So im going to attempt to nod off a bit before my first stint behind the wheel of this beast. Feel free to text me weather reports for the midwest.

We just executed our first fuel stop in under 2 minutes 15 seconds. Dean is at the helm now and Alex is spotting Ironically our first stop was across from "the Pit Stop restaurant" in Loganton, PA. Its a good temperature out, the road is clear, what a beautiful evening.

First deer sighting of the trip. Thanks to Dean's attentiveness we avoided a more personal meeting. Maybe these deer whistles were a good decision.

Just getting into PA. That makes 74 miles into our endeavour. Trying to bring up that average speed bit by bit.

On I80 west, having a blast watching people react to a decomissioned police interceptor barreling up behind them.

In the Holland tunnel with Alex at the helm. Now if only traffic would get out of our way.

And we're off! The 2904 begins!

With some help from the A-team the laser jammer is claiming to be operational. Were loading up on some food, then its off to the Red Ball garage (where the infamous, original cannonball runs left from) to get our time stamp and start this rediculous road trip.

We just had an original cannonballer declare this tournament of endurance open! We're going to try to get the laser jammer back up and running and head west.

Wrapping up breakfast, preparing to get the secret documents and head west.

Sitting down for breakfast and the drivers meeting. Hoping to get out of here by noon.

Under the brooklyn bridge! Photos should be coming online soon!

As I'm riding backwards on this bus, I couldn't help but be reminded of World Crush. I have no idea where World Crush is going in the future, but I damn sure know where we've been.

I have to thank everyone whose put their their time and effort into getting us this far. Mad props to my friends and family, especially my amazing girlfriend Nellie, as well as Aaron and Erik D for being stubborn and honest enough to keep me on track.

Oh god, the sun is way too bright this morning. Great weather for driving coast to coast though. So having just awoken from a very short slumber, im headed to the brooklyn bridge to meet up with the rest of the project Interceptor crew.

Signing off for the evening. Sweet dreams everybody!

I have arrived in NYC and not a moment too soon.

So despite a most valiant effort, we pulled into the train station as the train left. Project Interceptor has been delayed by a flat tire. Despite these set backs, we should all arrive at the Bar on A in NYC around 745pm.

And it begins. Aaron and I are headed to Brewster via Salisbury and Lowell MA to pick up a few things for the rally! Keep checking out this here blog for more!

Its not a race, its a rally.

So for those of you who don't know, there's a niche group of motorists that exist to cover large amounts of distance in short amounts of time. In less than 24 hours I have to be in NYC for the pre-rally festivites. 24 hours after that, I'll be joining the ranks of these motorists as I barrel through both space and time to reach San Francisco.

When people think of this sort of event is a bunch of rich people racing expensive whips from hotel to hotel over the course of a week. Things like the Gumball 3000, Players Run, and any number of other rallies, have typified these sorts of things. So what sort of hyper-exotic will I be piloting to Cali? Hah, not so fast.

I'll back up a bit. On the 26^th of October, and as a result of being perceived as crazy enough to attempt something like this, I received an invitation from a long time acquaintance of mine and marketing director for RedSquare llc, Alex Macfarlane, to co-drive in the 2904, a “Transcontinental Motorized Vehicular Tournament of Efficiency and Endurance”. This “tournament” isn't just a quick jaunt across the country. There's always a catch.

“The Challenge:
It is 2904 miles from New York to San Francisco. Drive that distance as fast as you can for less than $2904 including the car.

The Budget:
What counts in the $2904:
- The vehicle’s purchase price
- Any non-safety modifications made to said vehicle, including parts and labor.
- Fuel, Oil, Antifreeze
- Speeding tickets
- Food (yes, that includes Little Debbie snack cakes and Moxie soda )
- Tolls “ (from www.the2904.com)

With that said, there wont be any Ferraris or Porsches here. After a few days of planning, careful scheduling (I am, after all, still a full-time college student), I accepted the invitation and not long after Alex had sent me a picture of a white 1999 Crown Victoria with the P71 Police Package. Dubiously named project INTERCEPTOR. Over the last week, the car has been outfitted with a few goodies, a CB radio, binoculars for locating rivals, a nice power inverter so I can bring you all along for the ride, virtually at least.

Whats that? You heard me right. I'll be updating this here blog as we head west bound and down. But wait, there's more! World Crush will be making two big announcements along the way! So stay tuned and see what sort of hijinks we find ourselves getting into.

As I post this, project INTERCEPTOR is en route to NYC with Alex and Dean (of www.IronHorseTaming.com) at the helm. GPS puts there arrival time at 1030am tomorrow (Friday). Wish us luck!
