renegade racers


Abandoned Car Museum, Rolla, MO 10/17/2007


A new transcontinetal auto record has recently been posted.

31 hours, 4 minutes.

To set the record, Alexander Roy averaged 90.1 m.p.h. over 2,794 mile route from Manhattan to Santa Monica and somehow managed to do it without getting a ticket.


His adventure, highlighted in a new memoir, "The Driver: My Dangerous Pursuit of Speed and Truth in the Outlaw Racing World" shattered a long-held record by the team of Burt Reynolds and Capt. Chaos (Dom DeLuise).
