RVW is Radial Vs. The World, a class that races at Duck’s races at South Georgia Motorsports Park a couple times per year and one or two other places as well. It is the quickest and fastest radial tire class in drag racing and has become a huge topic of debate in the past few years as Pro Mod cars started racing in the class with a “small” drag radial. There are a lot of people that think Pro Mods shouldn’t be allowed in RVW and a lot that think they should. Regardless of your belief, earlier this year Alex Taylor got the nod to drive a “Pro Mod” in RVW and jumped at it.
We’re talking about a level of car she’s never driven, and radial equipped which she has never experienced as well. This is going to be a steep learning curve and one that could bite you in a big way if you drive over your head. That’s not what we want to see, and either does Alex, so she’s going to have to be smart to make sure she gets up to speed quick in this thing.

Video Description:
One of my biggest goals – driving wise – was to drive a Pro Mod at some point. I even publicly stated this goal last year and felt dumb for saying it afterwards because the goal felt SO far away. But, earlier this year Patrick Miller of BumbleBee Racing made the offer to let me drive their turbo promod Bumblebee Camaro and what an incredible opportunity it was! Check out the video to watch me learn to drive something totally new to me. A HUGE thank you goes to the Miller Family for trusting me to pilot their car and to Patrick Miller and Alex Skrzypek for keeping the car going all weekend and being patient with my learning. There will be more Bee videos coming up in the near future!
