Alex Taylor Is Driving a 12x Record Holding Camaro At Bonneville Speed Week: She’s Not A Salt Rookie Anymore! First Runs On The Salt!


Alex Taylor Is Driving a 12x Record Holding Camaro At Bonneville Speed Week: She’s Not A Salt Rookie Anymore! First Runs On The Salt!

In this video, the 5th of Alex’s adventures on the salt, she finally gets to make a run on the salt! The weather has not cooperated, and the standing water has been nuts, but she finally got to make her first runs on the salt. 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.

FINALLY!! Despite a LOT of odds – we made a pass at Speed Week 2023. My FIRST ever land speed racing attempt. I had to go to Rookie orientation in the morning and then got to make my Rookie pass as the very last pass of the day. This is a good one guys!
