- Talk about addicting! The salt fever everyone tells you about is veryyyy real. We worked to squeeze in my licensing passes in on day 2 of the salt being open. The weather originally pushing back the start of speed week has made some prior commitments I have interfere with my attempt to set a record this week. After LOTS of work we have devised a plan to see if I can make it back here to the salt and finish out this week before Roadkill Nights 🙌

We all can feel more comfortable about this when we watch Keith buckle you in! He dotes on you like your dad would, checking and double checking. He seems like a nice calming guy to have there and help keep the nerves down. Good luck and stay safe!
Thumbs up to Megan behind the sense helping to capture this amazing event for sister Alex.
No doubt we will see more from 1320 Video. Kyle is right there with them.
Speaking with my Cinematographers hat on, yep, Megan's framing of the cameras she's using (looks like a combo of GoPro's, Phones, and at least one DSLR), and the exposure under difficult filming condition - That opening Sunrise is gorgeous!! - All the shots show skill and artistry that any professional camera operator or cinematographer would be proud of. Here's hoping she was able to keep the salt out of the cameras!.
Megan is kicking ass. Great job! 💪
Your thumb is missing the tip! 😉😉
This is so great! As a father of three daughters, I love seeing how all these men are taking care of her and helping her every step of the way. Cant wait for the next one!
Nice ain't it, to see Positive Masculinity. Seeing these blokes presenting role models other then all the toxic ones thrown at us to conform to, and just getting to pass on the skills and experience, hope plenty of young blokes take notice.
It's a team working as a ... TEAM !!!
I've been dang near freakin out ever since I saw Keith two days ago talking on Tom Bailey's video, about Alex making back to the salt and actually getting to run again! The first few runs were so friggin awesome to watch, I can't help but check back every few hrs to see if the new video is up yet!
It is nice to get a unique perspective on an event I have heard about since childhood. I was impressed with the quality of the team and the car they run.
THAT 55 GOING TO LOOK GOOD ON THE SALT
Keith seems like such a good guy and probably the best guy for a new person in this type of motorsport
I think he said he has known her since she was 16, so my thinking is he has a vested interest in her safety and success. Like a second dad.
Keith is a great guy and as an ex-Army helicopter pilot instructor he's got the right attitude to guide people through the process
@@michaelhenderson5098 I guess they meet when Alex did her very first Drag Week. Seems Alex gained a lot of long lasting friendships back then, that still today are a big support for her. What Dennis just saw as a chance for some mother and daughter bonding time (he told in an interview), ended being kind of an life changing event for Alex and her family.
I love the little giggle at the end of the run!
Awesome stuff Alex. We're all proud of you. To whoever is out there reading this message, if you are having a hard time just remember you are not alone and never give up. The person who is reading this message, i wish you success, health, love and happiness.

Thanks David!... iv'e been right on the edge this past week and your words mean a lot.
This is exactly what we all need to hear right about now thank you very much for your words of encouragement, and thanks for your service.
Couldn’t be more proud if you were my own daughter. Congratulations sweetheart, you deserve it all
Ink isn't dry on one license and going to level up to next class license...gotta love it !! Very very few videos give me goose bumps...this one did... Congratulations Alex !!
Just 27 min into the vid but, have to say as a 70 yr young gear head, I’d be thrilled no end to be there with you and the great group of individuals gathered in this endeavor. Intelligent, talented and strong hearted you’ve got this. Sincere positive energy your way Alex!!
It’s crazy that a person can get so emotional over the excitement. Everytime you pull away from the push truck, I get teary eyed and can’t explain why the video of you doing the flyby of the chase vehicle did a number on me as well… Great job and I hope you can make it back to finish up what you’ve started and hopefully you can get a little rest in there somewhere!Congratulations! The whole world is behind and cheering you on!
Congrats again Alex! The team supporting you is absolutely awesome. Keith is so dialed in on ensuring everything is perfect for your runs. Enjoy everything, just ensure you’re getting some sleep and taking care of yourself too. Can’t wait for the next update!
Thanks to the team that put you in this car and gave you the opportunity to accomplish your goals. It takes a lot of commitment to race at this level.
I don't know Alex but she seem like the sweetest kid. Bless you.
Ah, racing, short periods of frenzied excitement, long hours of boredom and waiting!!! But, intoxicating watching salt-fever grip you all, so happy for you, young lady, you have a wonderful attitude and a great team!
Alex your doing a outstanding job you go girl
@TELE_GRAMMeRacingAlexTaylor I don't have telegram
You can tell those old timers want you to feel the thrill that they do. That alone is a beautiful thing, like an old hunter or fisherman putting someone else on the catch of a lifetime because they know that person will carry a part of them forever.
It's soo impressive how the organizers are massively safety conscious! Congrats Alex!!😊
Out of respect for those no longer with us! RIP Jessie Combs..
the flats have claimed many drivers
agree
Good show Miss Alexa Taylor💯
What supercooled is seeing how fast that white Chevy truck goes as well.
It's crazy, I don't know you, haven't met you and I get emotional (worried and excited) watching your passes. God speed and I hope you get back for faster speeds.
Why am I imagining Alex, Nick and Dennis with a gen 4 Firebird with a Steve Morris engine…
Alex’s composure and discipline is impressive.
Loving the mentoring from the team in new territory.
Great to see y’all making the most of your opportunities. Hope it all works for y’all.
2:16 🤣🤣🤣The Racers life!! Congrats on fulfilling your land speed dreams.
I like all the safety! Ya need it at that level! Someday I hope to make it to the salt!
33:37 that’s the best shot anyone could have ever got! Absolutely amazing and the gear shift! Felt like I was watching a movie the wind didn’t even bother, it added to the picture perfect moment..
You are a true badass you drive that car like you’ve been in it all along. You should have companies falling over each other to sponsor you. You rock!
I have never watch racing on the salt flats and for some reason it popped up on my page .So I clicked on it and I find out that I may get the chance to watch alex T set a record. I AM AMAZED at how well she is doing. So that being said she now has a new sub this little girl no bigger than a humming bird is handling this car like it was nothing. I think someone is going to have to build her a faster car after all this is over and she sets the new record. This little lady is out to take over the flats. Way to go alex T . I would wish you the best of luck but you don't need it Much love my friend from North Carolina.
The smile on your face says it all ..Congratulations Alex ..this kiwi grandpa follows you in whatever you do
Love how Keith turk looks after you and gives you the caml before you set off can tell how much everyone cares and wants to see you boss it which you are. They need to bottle up the love and care everyone shows to each other and sell it.
The best series you have done...we are rooting for you
Alex is so disciplined.
amazing the track officials are so knowledgeable, kind , reassuring and what i find to be most helpful is calming when i listened to them talk they made me think hell i can do this easily , just great people all around
I’m so stoked for you Alex to see the emotion after the first pass to the third pass and your B license was so cool You’re a bad ass and you got salt fever love y’all.
You're so blessed to know and meet the people you do. You're living a dream that many people can only dream of. 😊👏👏👏
Just before your last shift can hear it spinning. So cool to see you working the wheel to keep it straight 👍
Would be Strange going those speeds on slush wouldn’t it.
What a great experience. Your support crew is awesome. Have fun, be safe.
This new chapter in your racing career is so exciting! Watching you blow by the truck in your B license run was amazing! Sustained speed is fun to watch.
Hope u get there friday . To get a record . Shame on snapon . For not lettting u do this huge feat
Alex… you my dear are such a badass! I love your courage, your tenacity, your fearlessness and the passion you have for going fast! Congratulations on your determination to conquer the salt! I love it and hope my daughter can achieve a 1/4 of what you are achieving! Love ya Alex and keep the pedal to the metal and the car between the lines. 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
I love that you have Keith there to strap you in. He's the perfect guy to have at your side
What a ride to get your licenses in... congratulations team
you go girl, no doubt in our mind that you got this. Your only limitation, is yerself. Go beyond, test yer mettle. You are blessed.
That was awsome to watch! What a team! Just love it! 👊👍👌❤
Congratulations again. Don't worry about speedweek, there's more racing in October. It might be a better track condition. That car SOUNDS great.
What a fun watch. I've seen Keith pop up on every salt flats documentary since the mid 90s. I've probably watched every single one 3 times. If there was a face(and a hat) to go with Bonneville......it's his.
Alex Taylor jessi combs watching over you thank you so much for the things you do go alex
Great content thanks for sharing
Nerves of steel, young miss.❤️👍🇨🇦
Love your passion for racing, keep it up and above all be safe!!
Arkansas girl goes 201mph!!!! So happy for you! Very cool video to watch.
Awesome video, great all round team work, so good to see what happens when you want to go fast on the salt,I just love it , and your nervesisness soon went, good on you girl,
Dang, Alex. You and your team put in work. I'm praying you get back to the salt in time to knock out your A license and a record!
As you might have guessed, Alex has a few hundred years of experience working for her, a Senior team, great motivators and unbelievable amount if information.
Just remember Alex, safety first, records second! Stay safe
Keith Turk, you are a class act. This was fun to watch! Congrats and thanks to Roger and everyone involved.
Give it HELL Alex……….👍🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
To watch you drag race and continue to excel at that sport has been a thrill due to my love of the sport but to watch you delve into the world of salt racing and taking to it like a duckling to water is even more thrilling. I can't explain it but the in car camera shots are amazing to watch. It's like you've raced that car for years. And your crew is outstanding. Great job Alex.
WOW so proud of your effort to do this the right way awesome work and crew !~
Totally amazing Alex!!! So smooth and steady! Great to watch. Congrats.
Very good! I must confess I was nervous about you going that fast. 😊
gosh i can't imagine finally hitting 4th. you go girl!
Thanks for sharing the videos.
I drove through that area in June and saw some random dude take off onto the salt in his Sprinter Van with his family -probably in an ignorant burst of idiocy. I later caught up with him at a rest stop and asked what his top speed was. Salt was still caked to his fender wells. I wasn't quite as adventurous with my rental car.
P.S. If you pass through Sedona on your way back home, please consider yourself invited to the restaurant where I work in Tlaquepaque for a meal. The Secret Garden Cafe is open from 8 to 8.
Thank you Megan for filming and editing this amazing series! I hope there are plans for a salt flats build like the 55! I love to see you guys back chasing a record!
Congratulations Alex fantastic I really wish you could have stayed and broke the record I know you could have done it. You know when racing it's all about the people around you what a great team. I was really hoping you didn't have to leave this is been really entertaining
Alex what an awesome group of people you have around you. I really like the start line conversations with Keith. Thanks again Megan for filming and editing you are doing such a great job. Thanks and hope the salt is dry enough to run again.
This looks like so much fun, I hope you get to go back and set a new record.
Awesome job Alex stay safe and fast keep it steady.
Nice going Alex there is nothing you can't do if you set your goals to it. I was impressed how the engine ran in that car. So what is next Kid...O. Can't wait to see. TK.
Man this adventure is so awesome, I love the salt, can't wait for the next video, good luck, love your hat, hang in there Nick, sleep is coming😅 Love you guys.❤🇺🇸
Congratulations and well done to you and the team!
It would of been nice to see some footage from the camera next to you that points forward!
Alex, what an amazing group of people you have built around you, speaks loudly to your character.
Best of luck with your plans.
Cheers from Tokyo!
Awesome job Alex and so proud of you and you are rocking it! ❤
Way to go Alex! Hope you can get a record if the salt is good. Badass doesn't even begin to describe you 😁👊
You are so awesome Alex. I can't tell you how proud I am of you. If ever have a free few hours in Nashville I live close to the Airport. Would love to buy you and who ever your with lunch, Dinner or a Coffee. Safe Travels and I hope testing went well today!

Way to go Alex!! Hopefully the rains will stop and the track will dry and your schedule gets you back to run for a record!! You got this!!(BadAss)
I was there at the start line and watched ya! Congrats!🏎🏁
Love the "race car nap" Alex:)
Well done Alex on the licenses, you accomplished it with great poise. Let hope there is a successful record attempt. And what a bunch of , lets say "experienced" ladies and gentlemen helping you. What a bunch of sweethearts. Good luck
@ridewithalextaylor.hit_up Its a pity there are scammer trolls like you that would ruin a good interaction.
Fantastic to be you Alex keep driving fast and safe . Can't wait to see what you have achievable 👏👏👏👏👍
Amazing film work is very impressive, thank you
Alex, this is warming up to be another great year. And it would be short changing Roger and Tim; Btw, there aren't very many old salts who got all their licenses and a hefty record in their first season. Cannot give enough credit to Tim, Roger and all the team who collaborate so well.
wow, what a life with allot of great people, hope you get to run on friday, good luck be safe. brad
This is really exciting,Iam pumped! Sure hope you make it happen!
Look at Miss Fancy Pants with a floor mat to get her boots on! Getting famous, heh heh!
Done the gear math for the 55 yet? xD!
Thanks again, Megatron!
24:39 pleas don't, please don't, please don't...*sigh of relief*
You’ve really come a long way from racing that Red 68 Camaro down the strip after school. Excellent job!
Really enjoyed this, thanks for the update!
And of course, thank you Meg for the excellent content
@ridewithalextaylor.hit_up ts a pity there are scammer trolls like you that would ruin a good interaction. @alextaylor I hope your admin block these scammers
there is nothing better than letting your head fall forward on your HANS when strapped in and getting a nap in whilst waiting for a start
You did really good Alex!! Thank you for sharing!! I always wanted to run on the salt flats. 👍
Very awesome job young lady. What a wonderful support group you have around you. To the owners and the team, a very awesome build and a sweet piece of equipment. Look forward to your return if the weather holds out and an opportunity for a record pass. Very impressive Alex. Congrats to everyone.
Cool getting to Bonneville. Makes me think about running about 170 on the street in my 70 Cuda, 383. Flying low!
It’s been awesome watching you grow and excel over the years. Congratulations Alex
