Who has the most miles driven in one 24 hour period?

[Bad_Byte]

OK, Le Mans excluded, I just know someone is going to say that.

Oh yeah, it has to be in a Viper, after all this is a Viper board.

Mine is 1,147

From Ottawa, Illinois to Rock Springs, Wyoming.

What's your personal best?

 

[GraphiteGTS]

Dallas to Cincinnati in 16.5 hrs and 962 miles.

 

[joe117]

The hunting trip I just got back from was 1750 miles. We did it in about 24 hours with four drivers.
I guess that doesn't count.

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

New York to Chelsea, MI for the VCA-PVO autocross; 655 miles/8 hours on Friday and return on Sunday. Best part of the trip...

 

[Jeff Torrey]

1130 miles in 18 hours from Nashville, TN to New Hampshire (VOI 7)

 

[Big Medicine]

1125 miles from Waynesburg, PA to Ruston, LA in 15 hours & 28 minutes, including all stops for food & wizz.

Almost 73 mph average.

Also drove from Pocatello, ID to Indianapolis, IN; 1675 miles. We had to stop & sleep for 4 hours in Nebraska somewhere. Sydney I think.

I want to see the book that's going to be published with all these little tid-bits of information that keep getting asked every month or so.

St. Louis, 17.5 hours, one driver, 1100 miles

AC

 

[Blue Pilot]

1175 miles non-stop by myself in 16 hrs. West Palm Beach, Fl to Canton, Ohio and the viper treated me well and was very comfortable. The only thing I didn't have was cruise control, which would have made the trip just a little easier.

Quote -> "Daily Driver: Airbus A-320 @ 520mph".

Great signiture !

Well you got me by a couple of miles Tim. I would have gone all the way to Salt Lake and added another 200+ miles but I got tired of doing 10mph through ice and 3" of new snow between Laramie WY and Rock Springs.

I was pretty amazed at the comfort and yes cruise control was the only creature comfort I missed.

PS: I assume Jet Blue and I could swear the in seat gps was showing 600+mph while I was flying into Buffalo last Sat.

 

[Blue Pilot]

Bad byte, you assumed correctly. The moving map display on the tv shows 'groundspeed' in mph. If you have a strong tailwind, it will increase your speed across the ground. On a few occasions in the winter, the jetstream at altitude can be 200 mph, and you can see over 700 mph across the ground with a direct tailwind.
What flight were you on? I flew flight 4 JFK - BUF last Sat.
Next time poke your head in the cockpit when you are boarding, if I am there I will show you around the flightdeck.

 

[Schulmann]

New Orleans, LA - Columbus, OH
950mi in 20 hours when escaping Ivan.
Trafic jammed from New Orleans to Nashville ....

 

[Schulmann]

New Orleans, LA - Columbus, OH after VOI 8
950mi in 20 hours when escaping Ivan.
Trafic jammed from New Orleans to Nashville ....

 

[FE 065]

1400 miles solo, MI to Danbury CT and back in 23 hours a few months ago. (but not in my Viper)

Wow, what a small world it is! I was on flt 4 from JFK to BUF. So you were the pilot. Now a days I'd be afraid to even attempt to stick my head in the cockpit. I did say hey on my way out the door though. Since I don't fly cross country to pick up Vipers all that often it may be a while before I fly again. Although, I may travel back east for work in a month or so. I'll fly Blue again when ever I do though. American really blew it with me a while back and I had over 100,000 frequent flyer miles. I'll be using those and moving on.

 

[Greg 99ACR Red and Silver]

Amarillo, TX to Orange, CA - 1067 miles on the way home from VOI8.

The Viper followed me in a trailer though - does that count?

 

[DR VIPER]

Wow....some pretty impressive one day mileages!
I think my longest trip was from Toronto to Detroit and back in the same day(about 500 miles)!

 

[JDR]

1,724 miles, solo - Return trip from Chicago to just outside Reno (trying to get home in less than 32 hours...)

My Uncle currently holds the family record at 32hrs for (approx) 2,200 miles (from Chicago to San Jose), established back in 1975. Being he's 75+ now, I don't think he'll be breaking that one, but I still might.

 

[beckertb]

I once drove straight though from Los Angeles, CA to Columbia, MO (1800 miles) in 23.5 hours including 3 fuel/pit stops. I was driving a Dark Blue Ford Taurus (which is almost invisible to law officials). I was exhausted on my return.

[Bonkers]

In the viper - Tators BBq - ~500

I had a working weekend that took me all over the mid atlantic in the honda - 1249 miles in 36 hours - no sleep.

 

[pdmracing]

2100 miles 32 hours 2 drivers

 

[Y2K5SRT]

900+ miles from CAAP (Detroit) to Kansas City via most of Iowa to show off for friends and relatives - in our brand-new factory-delivery 2000 GTS. What a great way to break it in!

 

[Sonny 00 GTS ACR]

Probably the Rolex 24 or LeMans LOL

 

[Ivory]

1890 miles in 24 hours. Las Vegas to Madison, Wi! 2 drivers.

 

[IEATVETS]

Makes my 700 miles in a day seem kinda small.

 

[STUGOTS]

damm you guys got me totally beat out the most I ever did was 422 miles in 24 hours.

 

[allanlambo]

I drove my Lotus TT from Atlanta to Scottsdale in under 24hours straight. Just stopped for gas. Passed 2 cops in Texas doing 150mph, and they didnt come after me, or if they did, i never saw them.

Oops forgot to add, approx 2300 miles.

 

[genXgts]

Not in the Viper but did a rocking Windsor, Ontario to the Fl border (free Orange Juice stop) in 12 hours 12 minutes to the minute from the time we were released into the US from customs.

I worked it out at the time to a near 100mph average in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The thing was to the tin when ever possible and topped out at 120mph with 4 guys and gear.

Fun times, have a few pics of the speedo and readouts of the time starting and ending.

 

[plumcrazy]

drove from NNJ to south florida in one day....and then drove around there for a bit too.

total miles that day is around 1300

 

[SnakeEye]

Quite a number of years back...SW Florida to SE Wisconsin, 1459 miles in just under 20 hours, 1 driver nonviper. Too many darn miles for 1 day's driving that is for sure. Crazy the things we do sometimes when you have to get from here to there and do so in a hurry. lol
