I started my trip home to Missouri from California this morning. In Arizona between Peyson and Heber I started getting passed by Supercars wrapped in sponsor graphics.
First pack of 7 , I thought was a club outing with way too much money and poor road etiquette, weaving between traffic, at very high speeds, way, way over 100 mph when they got clear road in front of them. When I got up on I-40, I was passed by a least 6 more. Usually running in pairs..
New Mexio Trooper had 1 pulled over just minutes after a pair of 'em had passed me. The other guy probably gave the Trooper the finger and romped on it....

Certainly sounds like it, and it is still a thing.

I was up by boulders OHV Friday afternoon and got passed by a few supercars with stickers. Was going to Google it but looks like someone else seen it.

There are a few different organized rallys, not all of them go all the way across the country.
See the Vinwiki channel on YouTube.
At the height of Covid a few people thought it would be a good time to set a new cross country speed record with the lack of traffic so after the official record stood for about 40 years it was broken 7 times in 5 weeks in the spring of 2020.

Retired, work is a four letter word.
These days I am surprised someone didn't go all road rage on them and start popping caps in their direction, that shit needs to be kept on a track, that's how a distracted soccer mom with a car load of kids get taken out.

Various gumball rallys have been run for years in USA.

The gumbal rally still stops in Vegas overnight at the hard rock casino. Mostly European fat kats in their $200+ super car.

So this BMW I8 is in my subdivision. It is part of a high end club with Porsche's, Ferrari's, Lambo's. They are all gold wrapped. I see them running around all the time.
