Without reading the whole article, I'm guessing this is an abridged version of Alex Roy's great book 'The Driver'?

Definitely worth a read if you're into that kind of thing.



I really enjoyed that book as well. Around that time, I came a across a documentary about both his run as well as the old Cannonball and US Express races. It was still being made at the time, but it's been released since.

I haven't seen it yet, but it looks quite good.


Ah great stuff! It was still being made when I read it! Will check it out...


Same here. I was really excited when I first found out about it, but then it didn't come out for another few years. I'm sure I'll be ordering a copy soon, though.


Yeah its a pretty old article (2007) so it was probably published in the lead up to that being released.


added year to the title. I believe the drive took place a couple years prior to that, and publication was delayed while they waited out statutes of limitations


Yeah, he explained that in the book. Again - brilliant read :-)
