Book Reviews of The Driver: My Dangerous Pursuit of Speed and Truth in the Outlaw Racing World
Book Review: Alex Roy, The Driver
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Driver" is written by Alexander Roy (aka Alex Roy), about his experiences while involved in the underground world of cross county street racing & rallies. The book starts with Alex's father on his deathbed telling Alex about his involvement in underground rallies, and a mysterious person known only as `The Driver'. After his father's death Alex's life in underground street racing takes off as he first tries to recreate "Rendezvous" followed by the creation of Team Polizei and racing in famous road rallies until his ultimate cross-country race. Driving from New York to L.A. in under 32 hours!
Overall the book is a great read! You get a feeling of excitement as you ride shotgun with Alex & his co-pilots as they drive 140mph in the rain, weaving through traffic, and evading the police. Discover the madness and complexity of street racing and Alex draws up his plans while taking into account the fuel economy vs speed & weight , MPH vs time & traffic, time vs delays from cops, civilians, weather & gas stops! There are also several pages of glossy photos with Alex's parents, as a child, different rallies, co-pilots, & cars!
If you like the `Fast & Furious' movie series, Gumball, Bullrun, & Cannonball Run rallies, then this is one book you don't wanna miss! See racing from another side besides shiny metal & exhaust fumes!
