- Erwin "Cannon Ball" Baker at the Controls of the 1902 Ford "999" Race Car, 1956 - Erwin "Cannon Ball" Baker performed in vaudeville before he started racing, and he brought a showman's flair to his motorsports career. He made headlines with a series of coast-to-coast motorcycle and automobile speed runs, setting a record of 53.5 hours in 1933. Baker's feats inspired the famous -- and decidedly unofficial -- Cannonball Run transcontinental race.
