32 hours, 7 Minutes - The Film

[jsndacruz]

Where is this movie?!?!?

[cruzdavid72]

bad. ass.

[almcken]

me too

[UnDEADBishop138]

WHAT IS THIS!? I want to see it!

[NunuVision1]

I got a 93 in a 60 in WV back in 07, ticket was sighted as "reckless" and written as an arrest, the nice HPO told me my history would determine if he took me in or not .... He let me go..... $800!!!!!!! Was slowing from 127 in a grand am gt, saw some bushes decided to slow cuz i couldn't use my detector at the time ( illegal in both va's) lucky I did.... I was 3 miles from the state line!!!!

[NunuVision1]

Tired of waiting.....not that anyone cares now but if this is ever released I probably won't care either.....thank goodness for super speeders

[Kaipeternicolas]

I flew in a Cessna 172 and it took me 26 hours...

[waitingforacentury]

I gave up waiting for this movie

[Z06Sick]

I drove across the country last year in my Z06 and did an average of 84mph across the entire trip! There must not have been all these construction zones when Alex did it back in '06. Almost every state on the interstate highways there is a construction zone for over 50 miles long and you have morons hogging the left lane and trucks driving 40mph in the right.

[deftones831]

I've waited over 4 years for this movie! WTF is going on??

[johnnycanada]

I guess they ran out of the financial support to finish or release it.

[s4orcee]

What ever happened w/ this movie?

[missingremote]

I was wondering the same time. Best thing is to Just drive it. live the movie, I mean. If you're able drive Coast -to - coast

[JuanPapaNicolao]

The only law I break on a daily basis is that Posted speed limit .... I don't lie

[octalex]

has the movie bein released?

[mmachitownsailor]

no it's in the final stages, according to the website back in july 2009, i've been waiting for this movie since late 2005, its got a bit more to got it seems i believe its supposed to be out next year. i think but im not quite sure

[Guywithagun1991]

wait...that was Will Wright....so the reason Spore was so bad is that he actually wants to make a racing game

[hellzone100]

lolol

[Roadball]

Hello Alex! I read your book about a half a year ago and I can not wait to see the 32:07 movie or a movie deticated to your record holding attempt.

Greets from the Netherlands

[redhotcustoms]

I take good pride in breaking that 70 mph speed limit too. Guess some things never change.

[spoolinko3s]

I second that my man

[ilikeemericas]

@redhotcustoms join the club they caught me at 91 last week

[redhotcustoms]

@ilikeemericas they caught me doing 85 in a 45 zone one time. Honestly had no idea how fast I was going. Cop let me off though. Actually surprised I haven't been caught more times.

[ilikeemericas]

@redhotcustoms ahah yeah i know what you mean when i got the 91 ticket i was slowing down from 120

[redhotcustoms]

@ilikeemericas I was running late for work one day and was flying down the interstate when all of a sudden I saw three FHP patrol cars hiding in one location. I freaked out and started to brake and blend in. Surprised when none followed. I most have been popping 110-115 mph. Lucky I guess.

[ilikeemericas]

@redhotcustoms thats damn lucky aha

[Breshiki]

I can't wait for the video release!!! I hope its soon!

[IkaraColt]

First of all these guys set 32:07 four years after the last cannonball in '79 so they were hardly the fore-fathers. Second the record is 31:04 set by Alex Roy and co-driver David Maher in October 2006.

[Dorkman1983]

But it was this story that inspired Mr Roy and Mr Maher to go uot and break it.

[mmachitownsailor]

it wasn't this story, but roy's father's part that inspired him to become what he has, i suggest u read "the driver" great narrative about his exeperience

[vagike]

this wasn't about breaking records... these guys were probably the fore-fathers of cannonball racing.

[dballer16]

the new records 31 hours, 51 minutes

[jaciuro]

This looks like so much damn fun to do, the penalties are horrible though!! I'll await the video and live vicariously through that!

[zestCC]

anyone know when its coming out!looks great

[burlyesque]

DAVID You are legend

(and this was the video i found and whenre I don't understand what you say -LOL-)

Waiting for the movie

Es

(yes!)

[askworldtraveler]

Single lane road construction with 55 mph traffic - toll ways with many officers, city transits in daylight = traffic, filling 2 tanks with 80+ gallons. Truckers who HATE you. Anyone who thinks maintaining 90 mph during the era of 55 mph was easy - try it.

[Crbwrx03]

you can only watch this so many times until you get pissed its not out yet... aleeeeeex how much longer???

[mikevance]

please let this come out soon.

[JuicyJubilee]

Just finished previewing half of the movie. Amazing stuff right there. WOW. It's still in the editing process; I can't wait to see the final cut.

[Crbwrx03]

i went to california speedway this weekend, and met a original cannonballer. i actually knew him for years and never knew till now. he ran in the 1979 cannonball and placed 7th in a ferrari. forgot the model. his time was 35:59 or some where around that, in the 35 hour range. just thought i'de share with the fans.

[DevilHunter76]

Does anyone know what song is playing at 0:36??

[Crbwrx03]

how much longer till this is released?!!!!

[WILLJ9]

I kno this was done way back when but this time is not hard to accomplish i recently took off from Rochester, NY to Oceanside, Ca and it took me 32:15 in a escape without any extra fuel tanks

[foxymcfox]

Forgive me if I don't believe you, but to say that this is "not hard to accomplish" with the abundance of urban sprawl, quick communication between police precincts, and the state of disarray that the average American highway finds itself in these days, is not only daft, but arrogant. If you want to go beat 31:04 (The current record) without any additional fuel tanks/equipment, be my guest.

[mrnrguy]

31 hours in 2400 miles of driving is only averaging 79 mph. Shit! I've driven 20 hours straight and 1400 miles later made it..

Most cringe at going above 100mph in America, and then there are those who cringe at going any less...

[foxymcfox]

The actual run is closer to 2700 miles and requires you to AVERAGE nearly 90 miles an hour. That means you have to compensate for every single fill up (Approx. 5 minutes at a time) where you are going 0 mph. Look, I love to drive fast, but to claim that averaging 79 mph isn't hard just proves that you don't fully understand this concept.

PS: At your rate of speed, it would take you nearly 40 hours to do a coast-to-coast run. Get the picture?

[mrnrguy]

Sorry 2874 miles. I work as a Navigator and crunch numbers and figure ETA/SOG based on D=rt formula. A Simple concept as we run 24/7 on the oceans. And in fact, on high speed containerships that can average almost 600 miles per day, hp/ton..ships have the advantage of efficiency.That being said,being on land, you have to figure in gas/food/and the occasional traffic conjestion. I've been with the BMWCCA for 5 years and embark on TRD rallies. I think the concept of travel is understood.

[foxymcfox]

As plotted by Alex Roy, the trip is 2,795 miles (If I remember correctly). Just think there are still those out there who see 25 hours as feasible...if they do it, I will be at the finish with a bottle of champagne. Something tells me I won't have to buy the champagne any time soon.

[BastardMan91]

@foxymcfox I could do it with ease on an R1

[naa812]

awesome, when and where?

[bonzelite]

I cannot wait for this movie. Holy cow. This is just great. I love stuff like this. It's actually stranger than fiction in many ways. I love fast car stories.

[stunt4life]

maby 6 inches max when in a ful tuck than compared to my dads lotus

[5krif]

every year I wait for this film, the more i want to see it

[TheCarGod]

Favourite quote:

"Everyone knows the dotted lines in the road. 'Bout 130 they're solid."

[stunt4life]

dont look solid to me at 160 on an R6

[Asterisk61]

Because you sit way higher up than lets say me in a Ferrari. =]

[HachiKid]

but at 135 in my MR2, it still isn't solid. the stripes go by pretty quickly, but you can tell it isn't a solid line. and I WANT this movie so badly!!!

Joseph.

[dirkdiggler2306]

when does this dvd come???

[mikefin]

We are most likely looking at February/March 2008 release date.

[wounsel]

i am going to buy this i think

[02Mattias]

Really looking forward to this DVD!!! If someone knows the release date, please post a comment...

[StormJordan13]

i wanna see that so badd

[jlpicardq]

Does anyone know when this movie is actually coming out?

[theyourk]

End of '07

[jacquesandrew]

well its 2008 now, so is it already out? i cant find it anywhere!

[robm425]

nope not yet My bet is the spring 2009 release or late fall 2008 is my guess of release

[erickonphoenix]

they're still working on it. I think the Alex Roy record run is being worked into the story now.

[MyChoiceZildjian]

concidering that Cory Welles was in the car for the run i am guessing that it will be worked into the story.
