Bradley I know you like Indian, but a better bike will let you crack 111 on the ice with ease. This dude was probably going faster than that on the back wheel.

Oh I thought we were talking about giving Justin attention for a shitty opinionated article. Although that is the norm for Jalopnik now a days 

So who’s left Jalopnik? Kristen Lee, Stef Schrader, Matt Farah, Patrick George, Doug Demuro, Mike Spinelli, Ray Wert, Travis Okulski, Matt Hardigree...

Agreed. The chances of causing injuries/death is absolutely lower now than at any other time. 

I agree. I think it’s always dumb, but the dumbness is slightly less now. The chances of a run killing someone in a direct way due to higher traffic seems much higher than the chance the somehow they divert resources that could have helped a coronavirus patient and so someone else dies that way.

Sorry, not buying it. This was likely the safest time this could have been done. As you said, hardly anyone is on the road. I’m not buying the Alex Roy argument either, “They could have hit a truck carrying precious medical supplies”. Well, yeah but I’ll bet that’s statistically pretty low. I think most of the…

No, it doesn’t.

And running 100s of car spotters, airplane spotters, ten of thousands of dollars of radar and radar jamming equipment doesn’t qualify for an asterisk?

I think the idea that it’s somehow worse to do this during the coronavirus is quite wrong—yes, a crash will pull resources away from the virus, but a crash during “normal” times could very well kill a family or other innocent roadgoers. Minimizing the risk of that kind of incident seems to at least balance the…

... and yet you wrote something about it and posted it to the largest auto site in the world

“If literally one thing goes wrong—if the team needs to call for help or a tow truck, if they get stopped, if they crash—literally anything goes wrong here and these guys would be pulling resources from an otherwise already overloaded system, not to mention potentially increasing the risk of contracting coronavirus by…

Kind of ironic that you wrote the exact article Ed predicted in the very vinwiki video you shared, condemning this run. Which is funny considering all the positive press Ed got here on jalopnik back when he originally broke the record. 

The “official Cannonball” page has actually tried to distance themselves from this one for many of the same reasons you stated, but at the end of the day people who participate in these things aren’t really known to give a shit about details like rules or common sense and it’s not like there’s any way to legitimize it…

It’s like a tweet from Trump. You read it to see how stupid it is, but then you realize you’re just encouraging him by giving him more attention.

Did you have a stroke?  Do we need to send help?  Or, are those just fancy horse words?

I’ve driven the track, just don’t go balls out. There are so many guides on what you should and shouldn’t do. Most of these guys who are there are going to be faster than you, and they have more experience, more skill, and more car than you. Stay right and you’ll be mostly fine.

That isn’t so bad compared to the cost of repairing most cars that crash. It seems like with how narrow the track is with the barriers so close it is very easy to 4 corner a car.

Can they cram any more ads in here? I’m sill (barely) able to find the content.

I don’t think Buick is going anywhere.
Last time I looked (I admit it was a while ago), they were bigger in China than in the USA.

Private jets are not a vital business.
