One of the organisers Adrian McCaw said “We are really excited about being able to bring Russ To Ballymena, the first time I saw him perform was when he was teaching grannies to do do-nuts on Top Gear, the stunts he performed for the latest Italian J
ob movie are incredible”. Russ holds 3 Guinness world records: - Parallel parking in the tightest space, J Turn in the tightest space and the fastest do-nuts.
