Alex Roy’s Official Team Polizei HQ Blog: Covering Cars, Driving, Races, Rallies, Technology & All Things Automotive. Facts & Figures? Go Somewhere Else.
Alex Roy & Josh Vietze depart from Mission Control in NYC, piloting the legendary Polizei Interceptor 144A to Daytona Raceway in Florida. After 1 Amtrak Autotrain Suite, 1 Amtrak open bar, 1 Amtrak cheese buffet, 6 hours of Civilization IV: Warlords, 5 hours sleep, 32 coffees, 1 traffic stop, 1 police warning, 25 law enforcement sightings, countless Black & Mild Wood Tips, 24 hours in Daytona, 1 missed Autotrain home, 1 snowstorm and too many photos to count, we bring you this video.
Updates on our race at Homestead this weekend soon to follow… In the meantime, check out our new 144P livery a-la Dietz & Watson, as well as our Polizification of some of the signage around the raceway…
Polizei 144 Racing is delighted to add a NEW co-driver to our roster…and I’m talking about a character as big as yours truly, yet quite the opposite, for I’m talking about Master Pilot Peter Ludwig (above right). Other than his huge personality and brobdignian modesty, Herr Ludwig is my opposite in almost every way: winner of numerous races in multiple series (including Koni Challenge), expert at both short distance and endurance racing.
On behalf of Polizei Racing Captain Rene Villeneuve, Master Pilot Henri Richard, El Jefe Liz Moses and everyone at Polizei HQ, it’s truly a delight to have Herr Ludwig join the TRG/Polizei 63 entry in this weekend’s Rolex Grand Am race in Homestead, Florida…
Enter Alex Roy…I thought he was pretty crazy when I first met him, and those of you who know him know I was right to think so. But it didn’t take long for me to discover he had something, and I wasn’t sure even he knew he had it. He was doing a great job promoting his book at the time, but it seemed what he was really promoting was himself. Sure he’s a great personality and a wonderful speaker, not to mention the things he’s done that most people only dream about. The rest of us are trying to prove our self worth through extreme sports and stunts, as nowadays it seems that if you’re willing hurt yourself on TV someone will watch. There’s no other rhyme or reason to it all. It’s just silly.
