In this video, the 4th of Alex’s adventures on the salt, she finally gets out on the actual salt! The weather has not cooperated, and the standing water has been nuts, but it is finally time to get on the salt and here is her experience. If you missed the previous videos we’ve got a link below to check them all out.
Bonneville is a special place for me. The fact that I am not there this year is hard. I’ve been 238 miles per hour on the salt at Bonneville, and have been a part of racing for records there for more than 15 years. It’s a special place, an amazing experience, and something truly special. So when I heard that Alex Taylor was going to get to go this year, and make her first runs on the salt in a well known 2nd Gen Camaro, it pulled at my heart strings. I made my first runs, and my fastest to date, driving the famed So-Al, Hot Rod Magazine Special, with Keith Turk and David Freiburger and it was an amazing experience. Alex has started putting out videos from Bonneville, and despite delays due to weather you will get to see what it is like to go out and try this out.
Her goal is to get her AA license, which means she will have to travel down the salt at over 250 mph, and she might even go after a record. We’ll see, but regardless of how fast she gets during the week she will certainly have a great time. Watch.

Video Description:
I’ve seen the salt a few times. But not much compares to actually BEING on the salt. Today we took the car out and set the pit up and made it through the rest of registration. I also got to go out on the course and see what the conditions were and see get a better idea of what the procedures would be once I am actually making the pass. Tomorrow’s the day!!
