TWINSBURG, Ohio - A Northeast Ohio exotic car dealer, who along with two other daredevils set a cross-continent driving record in November only to have it broken five months later, told cleveland.com last week that they have reclaimed the “Cannonball Run” crown.

Doug Tabbutt, 35, who owns Switchcars in Twinsburg, said he and Arne Toman, 45, of Chicago drove a high-performance Audi 2,816 miles from the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan, the customary starting point of the Cannonball Run, to its endpoint at the Portofino Hotel and Marina in Los Angeles in 25 hours in 39 minutes.
