Roy Hall (racing driver)
Roy Hall (January 30, 1920, Dawsonville, Georgia – March 14, 1991), known as "Rapid Roy" and "Reckless Roy", was a pioneering American stock car racing driver, who achieved success in the early days of the sport driving cars owned by Raymond Parks and prepared by Red Vogt. Hall was also involved in the moonshine trade in north Georgia in the 1930s and 1940s, and would compete in three events in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Series shortly following its formation.
==Personal life==
Born to a poor family in Dawsonville, Georgia, Roy Hall was described as "obscenely handsome and absurdly cocky".〔Thompson 2006, p. 59〕 Roy Hall had a theory on life: "When it's time to go, I'll go. Until then, I have nothing to lose." Hall became involved in the moonshine trade at an early age, dropping out of school at age 10 and relocating to Atlanta with an uncle, where he assisted his cousin, Raymond Parks, in running a numbers game ("the bug") and, soon afterwards, running moonshine.〔 Rum-running would land Hall in prison repeatedly; later bank robbery would see him jailed for three years from 1946 to 1949;〔Thompson 2006, p. 309〕 occasionally to escape the pursuit of the law Hall would compete in races under an assumed name.〔Thompson 2006, p. 108〕
