On Wednesday, October 30,2002, The Motorsport Collector welcomed author, columnist, TV commentator and world class hell-raiser Brock Yates to our Downers Grove gallery to sign copies of his new book 'Cannonball! - World's Greatest Outlaw Road Race'. Brock's stop in Chicago was part of a nationwide tour of enthusiast hangouts that began in New York and made its way across the country to it's final destination in California at a pace just slightly less frantic than the original 'Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash' speed runs described in this long awaited new book.

After the signing, TMC hosted 'An Evening with Brock Yates' at Suparossa in Woodridge. Approximately 50 enthusiasts (some travelling hundreds of miles) were in attendance. After dinner, Brock regaled us with stories of the original Cannonballs, the making of the movie and the state of motor racing in 2002.

A great time was had by all.
