It funny, as I watch your Dad get you buckled into the driver's seat, I remember the conversation between you and your Dad about "where will the driver's seat be mounted" during the initial build of the car. At that time, your dad had plans to race the car, but at some point, has given that responsibility to you. He will never know personally what it is to win in this car, but will rejoice in "your" winnings. That is the love of a father... Finally, when life is going well, remember to stay humble.
I remember that very well and have thought the same thing a couple of times
Outstanding 1st day Taylor’s! Funny how that simple strut nut almost made that run a show stopper. Great catch by the contact, and Dennis as always a master on the tools. 🤘🍻
I love that Dennis straps you in every time make sure his little girl's safe. Good luck you guys God bless.
Hey would you let someone else strap your son or daughter in a car 😊😊😊😊
Dennis doesn't look so stressed out at the moment. Good to hear Meg asking questions and getting involved! You all are great folks. Best of luck! Go team Go!
It’s only day one. Hopefully he looks this good in a week.
Nothing cuter than an Arkansas girl sitting in her office, working on her computer! We enjoy listening in on your conversations, Alex. You have a giant entourage of vicarious racers! Just keep doing what you enjoy, and trust sis; she's doing a fantastic job!
You guys are awesome !! Meg for the photo editing Dennis for his technical knowhow and Alex for her driving and computer programming skills and mom keepin it all together :) yall are a fantastic team !! Can’t wait to see what you guys accomplish this season !!
I enjoy listening to Alex talk. Not because I have a crush on her or anything 😉😊, and because it's pretty cool to hear a girl talk, and know, so much about cars.
I like it when you talk about everything. It's cool to see what's happening and what the plan to make it better. Good luck this week.
1955 Chevys will never die......way to go girl....Dennis
Honestly, props to those strange struts. When someone is so confident in their reliability that they can ensure that it's not a seal failure over then phone, it speaks to the quality
this old man loves hearing you talk cause you kno what ur talkin bout. luv u all plz. never change.
WOOOO!!! WHAT A RIDE🤘🏻 YOU GOT THE BIGGEST BALLS OUT THERE 💯👍🏻🏁🏁 KEEP KICKING AZZ!!!
I, for one, could listen to you talk all day. I like watching you drive, but you describing tuning and adjusting the car is my favorite thing! :)
Enjoying all the problem solving, keep it up!
I am amazed every time by your talent. You simply shine on the screen!🦋🦋 ^ 🐻!
These are your best videos Alex, hauling ass in cars, 346kph in our language as an Aussie - Love it, thanks
The fnish of the inside of that fiberglass front end for the 55 is absurdly nice. Finnegan seems very happy with his. Top notch looking work as always!
Dam Megs video skills are top notch I’m happy to see Dennis has gotten a RUclips channel now
Good luck Alex. I watched you at Bonneville and you nailed that. Be safe. Go fast. God Speed
GOOD LUCK ALL WEEK
Your videos always bring so much laughter and good cheer! Thank you for your talented and quality work!🍁😮💴
Go Alex and Dennis !!..
Just from watching, when this thing launches, my pucker factor tachs out!
Thanks for everything you share with us
It's great seeing you sport that hat! You should be proud of yourself!
Good luck this week.
Just awesome
I was 18 when I built my '55 Chevy. Gasser style with straight axle. The thing sat really high off the ground. Needed a step ladder to get in. Back in the day before the 9" Ford rear end was popular I used a Old's rear end. Never radiused the rear wheel opening. I had an Hillibrand injection 426ci Hemi backed up with a 727 torque flight trans. Art Carr pushbutton shifter. Was barely street legal. I was fun to drive with everyone looking. With original factory paint yellow and white. Sat under a tree in a ladies back yard. She just wanted to get rid of it so I gave her $50 and towed it home. This was back in 1968 in Southern California. Used to race at the infamous Lions Drag Strip. On Wednesday night you could pay $5 a race. Known for Run what you Brung brought everyone out. Best time was 12.8 seconds at 127. That's before I blew it up with a couple of rods leaving the crankcase. Bummer.
Later I would race my VW. Those were the days when air was clean and sex was dirty. If anyone asks I am 74 years young
Great job, keep up the good work 💪
That red hat looks GREAT on you!!!
Running good, 215 mph, good stuff!
Following Srag Week from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺. All the best and safe travel
Alex, Meg, and Dennis, y'all rock! Good luck with the rest. Peace ❤
Taylor's, you have built an awesome drag and drive hot rod '55 Chevy. Thanks for taking us along for the ride

Good luck Team Taylor for the week!!! 6.87 on the new motor is awesome.
Very awesome day at the last past. Keep up the great driving Alex . Just be careful out there.
I love the level of information you guys give after a run good or bad. Alex talking about the worn strut and her reaction to the fish tale on the track was nice as well. Hell of a driver with a long career ahead of her. 7.15@210mph thanks for the great channel your whole crew is excellent.
Awesome job! Great on the technology

I agree with you Alex - THE sexiest car in the whole show.
Alex, great video. Amazing driving skills, your car is better than ever. Hopefully, you can have a great drag week and go low 6s. Cool music for the drive part of the video.
Good luck I hope you have a great week. All in the 6 time slipes😊

Nothing against you Alex but I haven't met a woman yet that doesn't like to talk. Keep up the good work. You go girl!!

I was watching the live stream yesterday, I was so glad when I saw your car pull up at the end of the day and you went into the 6's Goodluck for today will be watching and supporting you all the way from South Africa
Car looks awesome good luck to you Alex and your Dad. Take Care
That first pas did look a little crazy definitely made it look easy to handle
I see your Dad has a new channel. I watched one episode already.
YA need to seal up some of those air leaks in the rear area to limit the smoke coming into the cab. Glad ya got the pass you're happy with. Glad the strut issue is fixed,
I love her focus when she gets in the seat. So intense.
Love your voice alex
Appreciate it !
Looking good 👍👍

Great content thanks for sharing
and love dennis on hot rods by dennis taylor
Just watched the .90 1st run Indy. Great run! So tuff this year though.
You guys are awesome love it
You need to call Jake from Strange farm, he'll get you fixed right up. Lmao 🤣😂
Just watched till the end and saw the fix on that jam nut. Now you don't need Jake from Strange farm.
Dennis is a BUILDER. You're lucky to have a dad like him.
And maybe we can build something together.
I have been watching manly to watch you and Finnegan race, my favorites!
So no go fast stay giddy ending 😮
Just stumbled onto your channel. Great video lost of great inside knowledge and overall I really enjoyed it, keep up the great work....
Best of luck, go 6’s and stay pretty!
Love how tall the cage is 😊
Let Go!

Proudly 200!
Alex, be careful. No matter what, safety comes first. Always keep the Triple A; Alert Awake & Aware. Expect the unexpected and watch for ANY Anomaly. TU! ben/ michigan
