It never really went away. People have consistently been making Cannonball record attempts ever since the original event. That said a few new records were set during lockdown:

Cannonball run. Some have gone northwest after leaving NY. Recent record attempts have used sport sedans. In 2019 a record was set in a Benz sedan…
“Take a close look at Arne Toman’s Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Those rear lights normally scan easily as an MB product, but Arne masked them to match the rear quarter panel, which at a distance makes the E63 look like a… Honda Accord . Now that’s what I call a disguise.”

Ohhhh! I’ve been waiting my whole life for this opportunity, and you beat me to it.
Wish I hadn’t been so sluggish in my keeping up…
ETA - Oh, lord, evidently thirds of dozens of people all beat me to it, but didn’t read through any comments before posting. I’ll take the win

If it was magnetic, they could try a quick hide by pulling in, yanking the S off and lying low in plain sight.

Except according to the report he was traveling east on I-480 when they lost him, though I suppose that could be an attempt to shake the police before heading west again (lose them in the dust, exit the interstate, wait 5 minutes on a side street, head west on the interstate.)

Isn’t this the joke told in the movie “Trading Places” ?

The Cleveland police have no problem shooting people.
480 would be a terrible choice for a cannonball trip. It is a slow ring highway, loaded with cops and 90 cuts through the city in a straight line with far less police presence. If you end up out in Seven Hills on any high speed trip, something has gone horribly wrong.

Or maybe he was headed east to the starting point in Manhattan to begin his run.

I think that the tag Look at that S Car Go is really the intention here.

Okay, I just saw a red and black car with a racing stripe that had an “ST” incorporated into the racing stripe. Not quite it, I guess.

But Ohio no longer requires front license plates, as of July 1, 2020.
