Yates created the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash which ran a total of 5 times between 1971 and 1979, to protest 55mph speed limit laws. This trans-continental race started in New York City and ended in Redondo Beach. The first Cannonball was won by Yates and his partner, Le Man and Formula One winning driver, Dan Gurney. "The Cannonball" spawned two Hollywood films and the opportunity for Yates to co-write the second installment of Smokey and the Bandit.
