do you by any chance know what is the current record from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego?

In October 2006, ******** Fish of Cardston, Alberta rode from
Prudhoe Bay to Ushuaia in 21 days, 2 hours, 8 minutes.
I think this is the current record. This run was not highly
publicized, but information can be found with a Google search.

A month earlier, Dave Gerulski completed the ride in
27 days 7 hours and 52 minutes. You can read about
Gerulski's ride here http://www.34for40.org/

An attempt at setting the record was made this summer
by Nick Sanders. The ride is described here

Sanders' attempt was abandoned after a 14 hour delay in
customs at the Peru/Chile border.

I'm not sure what the record time is for a vehicle with
more than two wheels. The Racing Green Endurance
team has been traveling with an electric car for 57 days.
They started in Prudhoe Bay, and now are in northern Chile.
