We are going to Austin for a taekwondo event, 3 adults 1 teen. It will save us alot to drive a rental car. Is it feeazble to think with 3 drivers it can be done straight through? With only food rest room stops?

Welcome to the RTA Forum!
Its 2000 miles from Boston to Austin. That is a solid 35 straight hours in a car, under ideal conditions. Even if you were taking turns driving, that is just way way way too much time to be in a moving vehicle without real sleep, to safely make this trip.
Even on a speed run, you should really be looking at stopping for the night at least twice, and that's the very very minimum.
Saving a few dollars is not worth risking your life and the lives of others on the road by driving tired, and there's just no getting around that with your plan.
Not to mention, you'll be way too tired to compete without proper rest.
I don't see how with a rental car, road food, and hotel costs for a safe trip, that would be cheaper than flying. As Michael said, even doing a speed run, you should spend 2 nights on the road each day. Drive if you want to see the country, fly if you just want to get there and back.
