The Cannonballers Made It

The Cannonball 2007 auto race made its way to Prague, but as usual, because it is a Cannonball event, it was not without some major surprises. After setting off from Earl’s Court in the UK as planned, the 150 cars and their drivers raced through the Eurotunnel and into France.

British race car drivers Robert “DJ” Hagen and his partner, fellow Cannonballer Craig “The Money” Wallis

After streaking to Brussels, the group put down for the night, only to be told the next morning that Germany was not going to allow them to drive through their country!

Being Cannonballers, this didn’t stop them. According to Rob Hagen, "The French police took photos of everyone’s license plates, and then turned them over to the Germans, who were there waiting for us."

Since Hagen and his partner Craig Wallis had obviously made it to Prague, I asked how they managed to avoid detection in Germany.

"We drove a deceptive route, split up into groups," Hagen replied.

The next morning they raced to Austria, on to Serbia, and then took a detour through Cannes, France, before heading back to the UK.
