    I'm 73 yrs old and lived in Pt. Huron,Mi. & remember cruising & racing Woodward Ave & Gratiot Ave back in the late 60's/ early 70's. It was the best of times as far as I'm concerned. All the people from Chrysler used to bring out some of the things they were working on at the time. Things like aluminum hoods on Dodge Coronet's as well as the 426 Wedge Hemi, cross ram dual quad intakes and the likes. It was a time like no other, but at 16 - 18 yrs. of age, looking back now, we had no idea what a time it truly was. I've been a GM guy pretty much my whole life with the exception of 72 when I bought a Dodge Demon 340 brand new for around $4k, if my mind serves me correctly. If I only had one half the cars I owned back then, I'd be one wealthy s.o.b. lol 😎👍❤️

    Alex and Dennis really killed it with that build. Especially since they did it all while having covid lol. They are legends!

    Dennis Taylor works his butt off to make it happen. One heck of a builder. And Alex is just an outstanding driver with some serious skills. Emily, we love your broadcasting skills. Always bright, cheerful and simply a joy to listen to.

    hell, I didn’t know Collette drifted, I know of her as a Xfinity driver. Too bad about the clutch The stick might be slower but it’s a lot more fun. Alex was always going to win. Her Dad is a beast of a builder and she knows what she’s doing.

    Woodward Ave. has been a drag strip for over 170 years..................Young carriage drivers raced one another along Woodward Avenue after the roadway was converted from logs to planks in 1848. They placed bets on each other's carriages while racing from tavern to tavern......
    ......................................By 1958, the roadway was used for unofficial street racing with cars. The wide width, median and sections lacking a large commercial presence attracted a reputation for the competition.

  • @robertjohnson4784
    @robertjohnson4784 Год назад +1

    They built that car in 28 days on hot garage they actually work their fingers to the bone To get it done in a short time a well deserved win for Alex Taylor

  • @karlporath8904
    @karlporath8904 2 года назад +3

    I don't understand the controversy. Manuals simply separate people that can actually drive from people that hold a steering wheel.

    You did a great job Emily.
    Saw the Savoy build, what an under pressure, no time build, with a side of covid.
    Dennis is the man, Lucky and others helped, and Alex drove a great race.
    Good to see Derick and Finnegan a little too.
