- Опубликовано: 14 май 2023
- Two generations of Taylor gearheads joined us to talk about everything from their origins in the automotive industry, to career successes, and discussing the Isky Tribute Roadster.
Dennis is the owner of Hot Rods by Dennis Taylor, a custom shop that operates in Booneville, Arkansas. Growing up, Alex spent most of her time at her dad’s shop. At the age of 15, Alex and her parents began to build her car, and at 16 she became the youngest driver ever to compete in HOT ROD Drag Week, driving her "Badmaro" 1968 Camaro.
Now, Alex runs her own business, Alex Taylor Racing, along with an awesome RUclips page amassing over 100k subscribers.
Over the years, Dennis and Alex have grown close with Ed Iskenderian and the rest of the Isky team, so for the 75th anniversary of Isky Cams they teamed up to create this historic tribute Isky Roadster that will be at SEMA 2023.

Thank you, every gearheads daughter with her dad, nothing better!
I've been following Dennis and Alex every since she was 16 and I learned even more about them from this interview that I didn't know....thank you I enjoyed this
Two of the nicest people that iv'e ever come across on the Internet!
AWESOME Interview! When they say people are living vicariously through them, I am not sure they fully realize what they are doing for the racing world and those of us who Wish we could be in the racing world. It is now a bucket list of mine to drive from Tulsa to Booneville and if I could just sit and learn from Dennis Taylor. SO COOL. I grew up a few miles from Tulsa Raceway and seeing Don Garlits and Prudhomme and putting an Isky cam in cars with my father. Really excited for this build
The photo of Dennis and Ed in the car will be WILD!
Awesome video
Dad has pulled himself up by the "bootstraps , the Taylor family name will hopefully become Iconic for younger generations coming up as "Insky means to us today,. Keeping it real and being humble at the time,,Thank you,
The entire family is a credit to the hobby.
great video. thank you.
Your a great driver you and your dad
Really enjoyed this interview. Best to all with the project and what life brings to the Taylor family!
Great interview! Looking forward to watching this come together.
I have a suggestion for your next car body - early Studebaker, like a '53. They are great at Bonneville and still have that vintage cool factor.
Alex I just want to say your hard work proper prospective professional image good inspirational attitude and love for one of the three things I based my life off of one being automotive performance the other two are action sports and music production basically you made me love fast cars again and your videos are giving me innovative ideas again my love for automotive is strong but after I had a bad accident with my wrx I took some time away and seeing you go for the Land speed record with a 79 z28 is what caught my attention since i have i dream to follow the path the hoonigan crew did with the gymikana hoonicorn mustang for the lost legend ken Block who i truthfully thought i saw any way your beauty and inspiration made me feel alive again i say this with love keep rippin it up hun
I want to build with you sir !!
Irony: Most of Alex Taylor 's keyboard comando critics can't write grammatically correct comment to post, let alone write a business proposal to potential investors. I liked hearing about the work that is done off camera, proposal writing and developing sponcer relationships, and not relying on just social medea.
is the build of a copy still happening?
Sneak pics showing some build progress can be found elsewere.
Alex is absolutely wife material
