32 hours 7 min. outlaw race
Has anyone been following this? Alex Roy recently broke the outlaw U.S. cross country record. The wired magazine article is quite interesting concerning the driving, video, and the technology Roy used. Heard the book is hard to put down so ordered it. The 32Hours7Minutes movie is due to come out soon. Excellent movie trailers on that website.

I love how he had to wait for the statute of limitations to expire so he wouldn't/couldn't be prosecuted for what he did.
If the book is anything like the Wired article, no, you won't be able to put it down!

Great story!
I had wanted to do something like this since I was 14. Its too bad I'm old enough to know better. Glad thay made it!
I think a black E63 with the badges taken off (and a 60 gal fuel cell in the trunk) would make a great stealth car for a run like this.
