Default VRAlexander killed at 341 Virginia City Hill Climb

Some may remember him best for his in car footage of the Carrera GT "waking up" diners in Beverly Hills with open exhaust.

Sad day for auto racing and enthusiast community. RIP Alex

Report from Lou Gigliotti

"The last driver up the hill crashed at the end of the straight and did not make it. RIP
God Speed. VR Alexander in a Porsche turbo was the driver. Sad way to end the event."

Reading how he got rich, cool story. Sold the VR tech to Nintendo so they made Virtual Boy which flopped. He made $23 million, bought a Lambo off the showroom floor and the rest is history.
