Across USA in 31 Hours - Alex Roy Breaks Racing Record in BMW (VIDEO)
Alex Roy Breaks Racing Record in BMW

Alex Roy made his historic illegal “Cannonball Run” across 13 states, breaking the old record by more than an hour. Roy, a car enthusiast and rally driver, averaged 145 kilometers (95 miles) an hour on the 496 kilometer (2,794 mile) crossing from New York on the East Coast to Santa Monica, California, on the West Coast. He drove a 2000 BMW M5 marked with “Team Polizei” (German for ‘police team’) that he occasionally pushed to top speeds of 257 kilometers (160 miles) an hour.

I'm not endorsing the feat. I'm not encouraging anyone else to attempt it. It's dangerous and could've been deadly for innocent people along the 2,795 mile route. I do believe Alex when he tells me he did all he could to mitigate the dangers to others, and I believe him when he tells me he lost sleep worrying about it. He says they plotted the course on interstate highways during a stretch of time when traffic would be at a minimum (over the Columbus Day weekend in 2006), (foxnews)
