Alex Roy’s Official Team Polizei HQ Blog: Covering Cars, Driving, Races, Rallies, Technology & All Things Automotive. Facts & Figures? Go Somewhere Else.
Alex Roy, J.F. Musial, and Josh Vietze depart from Mission Control in NYC, piloting the legendary Polizei Interceptor 144A to Homestead Raceway in Miami. After 22 leisurely hours, 14 coffees, 67 law enforcement sightings, countless Black & Mild Wood Tips, 2 Waffle House Aprons, and 4,435 photos, we bring you this video.
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.
After days of practice, and an amazing starting position, only Mother Nature could stop Andy Lally’s assault on the Glen…and that’s exactly what she did. Rain and wet track conditions forced today’s NASCAR race to be postponed until Monday at noon. So we will have to wait one more day to find out who shall be victorious. The storms have cut off Herr Roy’s wireless access, but he is still at the track trying to keep dry while searching for the TRG hospitality tent. But do not fear, he is promoting the true Polizei spirit of friendship by sampling many free food plates from other teams’ hospitality tents. Bon Appetit! Check back later for more updates…
Upstate NY morning scenery as seen through the rearview of 144A.
This morning has been filled with uncertainty and unexpected events. Overnight storms and wet weather has been threatening today’s NASCAR race, and many of us are having flashbacks to The Bog. As Kommandant Roy was navigating up River 17…sorry, I mean Route 17 to Watkins Glen, he was flagged off the road by our friends in blue. All of us at Polizei HQ East and West checked under our matresses for bail money when we awoke to this text message from Roy, ‘This cop is curious and not a NASCAR fan.’ Leave it to Roy to find the only Trooper in NY who is NOT a NASCAR fan only miles from the track on raceday!
To our relief Roy is back on the road and ready to rendezvous with Andy Lally and the rest of team TRG at Watkins Glen. The track is drying out and order seems to be restored to the kingdom. Our live race webcast featuring Master Pilot Rene Villeneuve, and the most feared man in Forza 2, John Morley, will be broadcasting soon…
