alex roy is awesome. but how long did it take you to get from ohios border to columbus? ima try to get from columbus to marietta in 45 mins. then 30. ima need a fast car.
The black patches on the side shoulders of his jacket are Russian Army patches designating the troops wearing them a beings based in the Caucasses ie. Chechnya. Or that's what I was told when I swapped my patches with a russian soldier (sorry for any spelling mistakes.)
@boutdempapers ahahahahaha .. that all ur gonna come up with ? dude .. that`s like u would say " hey , i`m a freakin stupid fag and my only goal is to argue!" .. sry dude .. not my level , look out for some other stupid idiots ^^
I would be a little nervous mentioning all that stuff on Letterman, but then again, its all hypothetical right? lol...... I love all the time, skill, and effort put forth to do these runs in such a professional way, awesome awesome stuff.
hey alex, in about 10 years time, i should have quite a bit of money and i would love to beat that record of yours (even though i'm from the uk) you mind giving me a hand then?
@Mizan215 i'll help you,im a crazy american,much like our friend alex here...when i was 15 i stole a car and drove all over the east coast without getting caught *car broke down* i fixed it but i got blocked in by 3 NC state troopers...hit me up if you wanna beat his record,i got what you need.
I can't wait to get that book (I feel bad for waiting this long to get it). Congrates on the book release! I can't wait to see the video footage from the trip!!! ^_^
that would be the wrong thing to do. a VERY famous race team like that going out and doing illegal stuff like this would give them a bad image. plus, in ALMS and IndyCar, i believe they suspend the team or driver when either has a driving violation. i know NASCAR does, Kurt Busch was fined 25 grand for getting a speeding ticket.
agree with you exfordbiker - he does rallys that coes 25k just to enter. cars plus mods in excess of 60k and more - yeah really sounds like he deosnt have much money NOT! hes featured and enteres just about every gumball rally. nice to have daddy own the company so you can swan off and do this.
Alex Roy is an arrogant prick! Anybody who races on public roads and endangers the lives of others just to get HIS OWN kicks is a total asshole. If he's so brave or skillful, or whatever, why doesen' he try the Indy 500? Or just compete on a local bull-ring and actually COMPETE against real race drivers. What an asshole!!!! You Tube Search "Gumball Fatality" and you will see that it's not all fun and games!
I would just like to say that I have met Alex Roy and he is rather the opposite. If you have read his book or talked to him for five minutes you would realize that he is one of the safest drivers on the road. He plans for hundreds of hours to make sure that accidents do not happen and the fatality in Gumball 2007 wasn't actually Nick Morley (the gumballer's) fault. If you had done any research at all you would be quick to withdraw your statement.
Everyone should ignore this trolling prick JGMagoo.....he's posted on practically every video about Alex Roy, same garbage, over and over.
He knows nothing about the man or the precautions he takes to compete. Alex Roy is a huge inspiration, not for his racing, but that he had a vision and through determination was able to make it a reality.
A valid point Magoo, but I had the opportunity to meet and share with Alex my theory: There are 2 kinds of drivers; Idiots and Idiots who know what they're doing. The former is one who just jumps in and goes flat out and weaves through traffic causing crashes. The latter (Alex I say this with the utmost respect and humility) is the idiot who plans 8-9 steps ahead and meticulously plans any and all factors surrounding each and every decision. The 07 fatality was not Roy's doing, look it up.
I agree with both of you JGMagoo and roadwarrior 144, however road warrior you must agree that you can't drive a lot safer by planning things in front of every thing, you don't know wheter the other driver will go left or right, you don't know if there is an oil stain on the road or not, you don't know if someone will jump out of the line and hit you. So there is no possible way to determine and plan every single factor in the equasion. So evethough I'm a car lover I'm very much against gumbal.
omg if i had enough money to afford all ur merch, i'd totally be ur number one fan, and if not that, then i'd join the Gumball Rally like you. But I have to give you props on ur record cross country time. That is freakin amazin, Mr. Roy, so you are by far, my greatest hero!! Stay safe now though, so you can keep it that way
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well, I visited Alex's web site, watched this video and I think this guy kind of out of control. His ego will kill someone on the road someday I'm afraid !
Alex Roy and his co driver would never risk a person's life except there own. He does not weave in and out of traffic, or drive too recklesly, he drives safe within his own comfort zone. If he felt he was risking somebody's life, he would stop. No matter what is at hand. He know's the limit and his priorities.
So I was working for FarnbacherLoles at the Rolex 24 and one of the guys that was with Alex Roy walked into the pits. I recognized his G 144 jacket, as any fan would anywhere. HE neglected to tell me that Alex was with him! So I was pitting cars 84 and 85 and missed out on my chance to meet him =/
